poor service and cleanliness

sadly, the Hotel Julien has lost its luster. We got no housekeeping over a weekend. And the rooms and elevators were dirty. A large pile of trash and take-out food containers sat in the hallway on our floor all weekend.

This is a lovely old hotel ( opened in 1914 ? ) but of course Is completely updated. Located in the old downtown area it is surrounded by restaurants, shops and an excellent museum. Parking is quite convenient, either across the street or behind the hotel.

Beware what room you book! I booked a Deluxe Room and it was a dungeon with no windows. They would not let me switch rooms as they claimed I booked a Deluxe Interior Room but there was no mention of this in the listing. I am surprised it is legal to have a hotel room without windows for fire safety purposes.

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.
