We booked a room for Thursday, May 22, 2025. When we arrived in Julian shortly after 1 PM, we called the hotel to see if we could check in a little early. We were told that if we wanted to check in early, we would be charged a $40 fee. we declined. We were offered, however, a little earlier of a check in, like 2:30, without being charged a fee. When we arrived, there was absolutely no one at the hotel. No other rooms were occupied, and there was no staff. The office was closed. It looked abandoned. We were given instructions to use a code to enter the room. When we got into the room we noticed the shower appeared dirty, along with dried soap drippings from a dispenser above the tub. The bathroom was generally in bad shape. We called the hotel contact number (because no staff was there) to request another room. We spoke to the same lady we had talked to earlier - apparently everything is handled remotely - and received a code for another room. The second one was in better shape. After settling in, we walked around and noticed the general disrepair of the place. Overgrown landscape and haphazard outdoor furniture and tired bbq. The pool had been filled in. The grounds were not what the pictures showed. After coming back from town and dinner, we noticed we were still the only ones there. The one other tenant was no longer there. After dark, we saw a car pull in and then leave. At this point, my wife was no longer comfortable staying the night and we found another place in town.
