There were only a couple of channels on cable that worked. Also, instructions on how to work heater, remote, etc. would be helpful. Otherwise, place was clean and nice!

Some good and not so good
The good part: fresh and clean with comfortable beds and fairly roomy for a kitchenette. The not so good part: broken toilet seat, difficulty getting into unit with code, difficulty operating heating unit, property hangers which are too large for the closets. The property is keyless and for some reason does not include with instructions and the code to use what key to enter to then open the door- requiring phone contact with the property which didn't answer on the first ring. The heating unit worked fine but there are no instructions and one of the workers who happened to be walking by was able to show me how to use it. The issues are simple little fixes which I'm unsure why the property hasn't already attended to. Would I stay here again? Maybe. But I sure would look around to see what else might be available to me first.

We stay here during our annual trip to visit family. This time, we found multiple body hairs in our bed, a dead beetle and the bed was the worst. Very uncomfortable. We will need to find a new place to stay each year. They need to upgrade a bit

Thought the Inn was nice and the room was clean. I wanted to see my apples in the room but I know we visited after the apple season. Maybe next time we will visit at the apple season :)

This is where I always stay when I visit family in Julian. I love both restaurants across the street and next door, the Keurig coffee makers in the room are great, and it's so much easier to stay here than dealing with the crowds in Julian.

Good from far, but far from good.
We felt from the photos that this would be a nice hotel. Maybe holiday inn express like it was over $200 a night and yet it was a motel. No ice, no microwave, towels were stained and thin. Bathroom was very, very dirty. The bed were fine and their linens were nice. The heater was loud. Parking was good. It was like a diy project. Wood, chipped doors and counters, paint peeling and wall stains. Not well maintained. Funny the bedding, TV and sink were so updated. No one is on site either so a bit of an issue if you need anything. We asked for ice at check in, but they did not provide it.

Love this place!
Great location; friendly staff; VERY clean; up to date fixtures; lovely bathroom with all necessary amenities including makeup remover and soft fluffy towels. Beds were VERY comfortable with fabulous sheets: The Utopia Collection. The room had a kitchenette with everything necessary to cook and assemble your own meals. 2 wine bottle openers - YEAH! Adorable old fashioned (but very new) Frigidare with freezer. Stove and oven were immaculate. Will gladly stay here again next year!

Cute clean room with easy parking and super convenient to a bunch of local attractions. Only negative was that the bathtub was super dirty and the water was yellow. Maybe just part of being in the mountains?
