Breakfast was really lovely, staff was friendly, rooms were charming. Lots of PCT hikers from around the world stay here, for fun morning company. I'd recommend it to anyone staying in Julian.

We had a perfect "stress busting" mini road trip and time in Julian! How lucky I am to have an 18 year-old who likes to spend time with me! The "daffys" were a BIG bonus. We'll be back!

Room was clean. The experience with the staff was Mostly positive. The person I was traveling with had Some awkward expediences with some of the staff When she had some simple requests. The room was ok. (Small), importantly it was very clean and relatively quiet . The shower was incredibly small. Parking is a big challenge. ( you should consider that when booking.) lastly not a problem, the property does cater to a lot of PCT hikers , so expect plenty of backpackers.

Fun old hotel. Julian is really cool. Easy access to Imperial Valley and San Diego. Super old room. Very comfortable bed. Not big: sink not in same area as shower/toilet. Certainly nicely decorated. Had to turn off the fan in the shower because it worked very well, meaning I got super cold in the shower, even with the hot water running. So, it was better to shower in the dark with the door open. Did I say I liked the bed? I could have stayed under the covers with a book for a week. Great breakfast. They serve from 8 to 9, so plan accordingly, if you want breakfast. Not too many tables, so if you wanna eat solo, you might have to wait, but for me, that was cool. Food was tasty! Minuscule complaint, but overall glee. I'm glad I went there.

Simply Amazing and Relaxing. LOVED IT.

Two-night stay at Julian's Gold Rush Inn has to be one the BEST times my Wife and I have had the Pleasure of enjoying. Cozy, nostalgic and the best getaway to experience the Beautiful small town of Julian and it's Hospitality. Greeted by Chris with the UTMOST SINCERE and FRIENDLINESS like immediately removed an doubt we may have had since it was our First Stay. The incredible First IMPRESSION was followed by two days of the MOST RELAXING stay. The place only has 16 Rooms from and a separate Honeymoon Suite/Room. It is an old Building and the rooms are Small with NO elevator so prepare yourself for that when checking in and out. BREAKFAST is served between 8am-9:30am and you are asked if you have dietary allergies or preference. This is NOT A BUFFET and you DO NOT ORDER from a MENU. The Breakfast was AMAZING as we had Eggs Florentine on first morning and Waffles the second as the main entree'. Both days began with beverage(coffee,tea,juice), a multi-grain cereal, yogurt and fruit. It was served by a host employee, we had the pleasure of having Lisa serve us and she was just as friendly as Chris. We shared a table that sat four with a different couple each day and made for great conversation. The room bathroom was small but efficient and there was an extra bathroom upstairs for all guests if needed. Two areas provide games and puzzles as the aounds of old 40's Big Band music played softly in the background was relaxing. We WILL BE BACK

Exemplary staff from top down. This wonderful B&B in the heart of town was near perfection for us. Room was a bit cramped with 2 tasteful bureaus when we would have preferred just one. But enough nitpicking. We really enjoyed the remodeled shower area and the bed was very comfortable. The whole property was impeccably clean.Breakfast was 6 stars! Our compliments to the chef. We would definitely stay here again!
