Hotel Julian

Good - missing that little bit of extra service (difficult to get extra towels, other service follow-ups somewhat lacking.)

They put me in an occupied room when I checked in with no apologies. In fact they acted like it was my fault! Cars and motorcycles drag race all night down Michigan Ave. I won't stay here again.

Rooms are well kept, but my shampoo and conditioner tubes were less than half full. No need for a resort fee. 1st floor restaurant has a very limited menu and was expensive for what I got. Service and food quality were both quite high there. Check-in was nearly hopeless and almost rude. Other front desk people were both friendly and helpful. My room faced an alley and was only three floors up. When the garbage trucks got started around 4:00, I was up as well ... Conclusion, this place would like to be very upscale, but cuts way too many corners for that to happen. OK if you need to be at a particular place nearby, but should be able to do better elsewhere.

Location, location, location! Classy little hotel. High end finishes. A little pricey but we didnt have to walk so far or pay for Ubers either. Wished the beds would have been a little more firm; pretty soft for me.

Lovely room, turn down service did an excellent job, front desk staff was very friendly, though not at all knowledgeable about the area (I asked for an interesting place to hang out around there and do work, and the only thing person could suggest was Starbucks. There's an Intelligentsia around the corner.) Room was a little snug with a crib in there, but workable.
