    Sweet country motel, based on the previous neg reviews I was hesitant but it was great. I was able to get a room the same day. It's a quaint little motel right next door to a store which was super convenient since that area everything is spread out. Both the gentleman checking me in and out were very kind and offered me fresh coffee. Cable and WiFi worked brilliantly so I could just relax and I felt safe.

    I don't recommend staying here unless you have no other option. I was on a road trip and needed a quick sleep over. The outside of this motel is cute and looks clean and well kept. The inside is so bad. Old dingy carpet, mismatched paint, sheet and dingy old bed spread (no blanket), my TV had no cable - when I turned it on it had a 1-800 # to call to connect service . It was so gross. Also, randomly, they list their rates. I was charged exactly that, no tax or service fees. I didn't receive an itemized receipt but found it odd tax wasn't charged.

The owners did an incredible job honoring the desert beauty by restoring this gorgeous Moroccan inspired hotel that seems to nestle perfectly in the heart of town. You truly enter a little vortex, where everything you could need is on-site and within walking distance. The outside world seems to fade as you walk through the entrance doors. We celebrated a birthday as a couple where we indulged in a one night stay, in the King suite, enjoying the amenities exclusive to hotel guests. We dined at the restaurant, ordered poolside foods & drinks, sat by the bar, soaked in all the bathing areas, and enjoyed the little nooks to lounge. We stayed on a Sunday night and felt we had spaciousness from other guests and privacy to fully relax. Absolutely recommend visiting for an overnight stay as the exclusivity of hotel specific areas is a must to experience. The rooms are also gorgeous and minimalist by nature. The comfort of the bed and clean linens after a day of soaking topped it all! Truly had one of the best nights of sleep and wanted to do it all over again when we rose. As mineral spring connoisseurs, we were impressed by the cleanliness and purity of the waters. Truly healing on every level!! Maintenance staff actively were testing temperature, ensuring the waters remained comfortable and well-kept. Staff overall were helpful and kind. The restaurant menu was diverse and fitting for the setting--hitting the spot with flares of Mexican cuisine. The touches of healthfulness on the menu were appreciated. The pozole soup was warming and a highlight for visiting during the Winer season. Lastly, I can't forget to nod the eclectic and cozy bar, where we enjoyed live music and appetizers before our main sitting. The decor, bites and hospitality took us to another time and place. We intend to visit this hidden gem seasonally as it absolutely nourished and transformed our spirit! & Shoutout to Julie who made our stay unforgettable.

Doors did not lock and not all furniture was unpacked so we had to put it together ourselves. While the view and the birds were spectacular, our hosts were not. We would leave work and things would be moved around when we came back, which was invasive and perplexing since there was no maid service in the four weeks we stayed. On several occasions after working the grave shift in the early morning there would be knocks on our doors and occasionally fire alarms would be set off. One day after days of our doors never locking (both the hallway and sliding glass doors) they decided to do maintenance to finally have the doors properly lock, and lock them when they were done. Well because none of the doors to our rooms locked many of us stopped carrying the keys, and upon arriving to locked doors it was hard to get in contact to be let into our rooms. As much as we appreciated being lodged in this clean facility, we could have done away with the hostility and confiscation of personal property from our rooms.

    THE LOW DOWN: I stayed here to duck the snow/rain mix while…read morehiking the PCT. Price for room #23, over the weekend, was $141 per night. April 25-28, 2025 ROOM COMFORTS: The water was always hot. The single, queen size bed was comfy. The heater worked flawlessly. The TV had a dedicated weather channel and local San Diego news channels (the rest I didn't bother with). I did not use the fireplace, although it looked inviting. The room was also furnished with an attractive Hamilton Beach microwave that harbored express buttons and specific buttons for "time cook," "frozen dinner," "pizza," my favorite the "+30 seconds" button and more. Another amenity was a rather tall, Hisense brand refrigerator/freezer (I could lean on it with my elbow and I am 5'9"). The floor is focused on cleanliness. Don't look for wall-to-wall plush carpets here. The chance that you will walk in with dirt clumped to your footwear is pretty high. These floors are faux wood type of flooring that is amazingly simple to clean. Yes, I tracked in dirt, but I was able to do a hand-sweep onto my laminated PCT permit and dispose of it, easily enough, in one of the two room provided trash cans. HIKER FRIENDLY: I was provided with a bucket and it was explained to me that I could wash my clothes in it or soak my feet in it. Additionally, it could be used for hauling groceries from the general store back to my room. A packet of laundry detergent was complimentary and I was able to ration it to clean a sunhoodie, a pair of sungloves, two pairs of socks, two pairs of toe socks, a buff, a bandana, 2 pair of underwear, a Brynje mesh thermal, a pair of gaiters, a pair of pants...AND still have some powdered detergent left over. I am frugal like that. BACKPACKERS & LAUNDRY: Please exercise common sense. If you are a backpacker and are staying here doing your laundry PLEASE do not dump the laundry water down the shower or sink drains, or even in the toilet, when it is muddy/murkish and full of debris. Save that action for your final, soap free rinses which should be clear. All other buckets should be dumped, as instructed by management, outside on the ground. My process was to fill the bucket 1/2 way and simply soak each item, wring them out and dump. I did this twice with my most soiled items (once for all others). Following along with my dirtiest items was bucket #3 & #4. Those included detergent (my cleaner items only required one wash "cycle"). #5 was a rinse bucket #6 included Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap strictly as a much welcomed aromatic. Bucket #7 was a final rinse bucket. This manner of washing (seven buckets that were half-filled were truly required for my hoodie and pants. Other items required less to get them to the "final rinse" bucket. I am not saying you have to do the same, but that worked for me, and stayed within the guidelines of the proprietors... keeping in mind that I had unwashed clothing since Campo. STAFF: John took care of things in a timely, professional manner while I was still 4 miles from the turn off. I loved that this wasn't his first rodeo, as he knew precisely how to calculate my arrival time, even when I said I was hiking slowly (due to a photography/video project I was attached to). You'd be hard pressed to find a more well-defined example of customer service excellence. LOCATION: If you have never been to Mt. Laguna, like myself, you will find that everything isdelightfully within walking distance. For backpackers, the United States Post Office just happens to be next door to where you check-in. So if you have a resupply box coming in, it is a very short walk from your room. EATS: If you want a meal, you could either put something together from the general store or... I found two options. One is across the road and the other a short walk toward the Burnt Rancheria. Keep your eye on BBQ specials that exist on the weekends across the street. You will want to eat the pancakes at the other place. I also had the Fondue and a plant based cheese burger there. So good food can be found easy enough. If tou want to drive to this location, dont worry about parking. There is plenty on site. Overall I enjoyed my stay here.

I'm not a hiker and only ventured off the campground to get to a truly dark spot for stargazing and photography. The grounds are home to so many different birds and I enjoyed capturing as many as possible with my camera. The Laguna Mountain Lodge brought me back to childhood. My first summer camp was not too far from here and the scent of the pines and everything else brings instant nostalgia.

The tall bed was comfortable and there was a helpful step placed in the closet so I did not have to resort to a high jump to get in. The bed was comfy. Breakfast was ok- I have a food allergy and staff had to scramble to accommodate it. I didn't think of it when we made the reservations, so that is on me. STAFF WAS AMAZING! Warm, friendly and filled with recommendations on where to eat ( dinner- and of course APPLE PIE!) We all agreed (we were traveling with others) that we would like to come and stay again.

That would probably pay for parking in San Diego hotels. This is a historic building and an interesting attraction in its own right. Breakfast is included and it was terrific. Food is expensive in Julian. A similar breakfast at a local restaurant would be $20. The staff are great. I met several day managers and the night security guy. They are all terrific people. It is really like staying in someone's home rather than a hotel. These is no TV. I think that belongs with the pros. The location is great. Right in the middle of town. Cons: Our room was tiny. Really tiny. Use the drawers and closets for your stuff so you don't trip over it. A side effect of the smallness of the room is that the heater/ac struggles to control the temperature . The design of any heater/ac unit presumes a room volume. The room is so tiny, the heater's built in control parameters are way off. Parking, parking is "street parking" and on a weekend, it's every man for himself. You may have to drag your bags a block or two. ---------------------- So would we stay there again? Absolutely. I would probably spend a bit more and get one of the small number of larger rooms, if available. If you want to relax and read, I cannot think of a better place. One thing I should mention, if you attempt to make reservations on line, there are half a dozen fake web sites imitating the hotel. They are put up by a dodgy travel company. They are really good imitations. I even an experienced computer user could be fooled. It is best just to call them.

I was sitting two seats away from her, and two casino attendants were standing nearby, waiting for her to return. Out of curiosity, I approached the attendants to see what was happening and asked, "How much did she win?" smiling. The Latina girl turned around with a dirty look, , and the other, with long black hair tied up, responded with a stern face, "We don't disclose the amount," rudely and disrespectfully. Does she know how to say politely, kindly, "Sorry, ma'am, we don't disclose the amount"? Politely with respect? I am a regular customer who has been coming here for years and spends a lot of money. Her rude attitude is not acceptable in this kind of business. This isn't about policy; it's about mannerisms toward customers, which are unprofessional and unacceptable! This is a place where people come to enjoy and be entertained. Her nasty attitude needs to be corrected and trained. I reported this issue to their manager, who seems to be a distinguished African gentleman with glasses, and I hope he takes this matter seriously, reports it to management, and corrects this kind of disrespect and rudeness in this casino.
