The Hotel Julian is 110 years old but scrupulous maintenance and tasteful updates have retained the feeling of being in a GRAND HOTEL there along the Mississippi River. The staff were wonderful, They obviously are dedicated to making sure hotel guests are well provided for, given full attention, and their needs efficiently addressed. Great place--will easily remain in my memory for its uniqueness.

The room was fairly clean and comfortable. Work needs to be done on the windows and window coverings. They were not clean and tattered. The hotel has the potential to be a high end hotel. It is beautiful in many ways but there is a lack of attention to detail and staff need some training in high end hospitality.

1) unclear where to pull up/unload luggage after 4 hour drive. 2) room was freezing and the thermostat, with instructions printed under it, did not work. Had to call and they adjusted the temp from some central location. 3) no free breakfast. 4) older, very classy hotel but clearly not staffed as it was in the old days. Existing staff were, however, friendly and helpful.

Breakfast not included. Pool and jacuzzi, were wonderful! No access to a microwave but the restaurant that is inside the hotel plated up leftovers on real plates, silverware, and linen. And refused any kind of a tip. Staff went above and beyond!
