10/10 Excellent
"I absolutely loved by stay here! It was by far my favorite of the year for me. It is so cozy and friendly. The staff was so incredibly lovely I wish I remembered the name of the woman who checked us in the night of our stay because she was incredibly kind! We caught the breakfast at it’s last hour and it was super relaxed not to many people but I do know there was a lot of people there in the early hours; the breakfast was very good! We stayed on a night of a super windy and cold night but the room’s heater was super helpful and let us get cozy up quickly. There isn’t enough words to describe how special of a stay this was for me and my partner I just need to recommend that anyone that comes by Julian stays here!"
