Historic, good location

We stayed at the Julien Hotel for one night to attend a concert at the Five Flags Center, which is one to two blocks away. The hotel is a lovely historic hotel. No complaints.

Beautiful hotel

We have stayed at this hotel in the past and have always enjoyed the service. It’s an iconic older hotel but it is in fantastic shape. They do not skimp on amenities. The only downfall was the pillows on the bed that were rock hard and flat.

Gotta stay here

We have stayed at this hotel several times and always enjoy it. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the restaurant on site is wonderful. The pillows on the beds are awful though that would be my only complaint.

Historic building that seems to be in fair condition, but cleanliness could be improved. Pool and hot tub had visible and considerable amounts of dirt settled at the bottom, so we were unable to use those. The bed quilt had a spill or stain of some kind that we didn’t notice until the morning of checkout. We didn’t have any drinks in the bedroom so it definitely was there before we got there. Made me call into question whether bedding had been changed for us. The thermostat didn’t work properly. Our key cards were deactivated almost an hour prior to checkout time. Both times we ate at the restaurant we were charged for items we didn’t order. For $300+ per night you just expect better. Housekeeping staff in the hallway were audibly complaining about their job and how “sick of this place” they are.
