Julian Gold Rush Hotel

great location in the middle of Julian. Sitting on the porch watching the world go by. Wonderful breakfast in the charming dining room. Historic building well cared for and furnished.

there are imperfections...but it is 100 years old!

Very clean and fresh. Staff great.

Definitely NOT available to those with mobility issues. No ramps, small entrance and bed so high too high a step stool should be provided. Limited seats in bedroom to sit other than high bed. A bit pricey for the experience.

Very very clean. The beautiful decor of the lobby, dining room , the game and relaxing corner, the bedroom and front porch- all of it ked to relaxing and really feeling like we were on vacation in another era!!!!

It would have been nice if there were a handicap ramp to get to our first floor room, from the sidewalk/street.

It was a historic property furnished with appropriate gold rush era furniture, so we were surrounded by interesting objects. The staff members were amazing and worked hard to provide a great experience. Breakfast was delicious! They recreated life of the times by setting out games in the parlor for entertainment. Fun! The town itself is so-so, mostly a bunch of gift shops surrounded by bakeries. So it was kind of interesting but very tiny.

The bed in our room (#10) was extremely tall. I don’t know why any hotel would do this. We almost had to leave because I could not get onto the bed. I am 5’3” tall, and the bed came up to my belly button. Fortunately, we found a small wooden step in the tiny closet and by putting my own yoga step on top of it, I was able to make my way up. It was extremely awkward. There was basically no space for us in that room. No room for suitcases, one rickety chair that we had to use to hold a suitcase, and only a little room in the bathroom. We nearly cut our stay short because we were so uncomfortable. The pillows were atrocious—hard and flat. Anyone thinking of staying here should be aware that there are lots of stairs. And rumor has it that it is haunted. Diary entries from others (book in the dresser) indicate that some people felt the haunting. We did not.
