This was a great unexpected stay with inclement weather after a long day dictating I not drive through the pass. It’s right downtown. Unfortunately most places were closed that day or closed early so by the time I was settled it was tough to find food. Not the hotels fault. All in all a great place to rest up. I’d stay again.

Very kitschy but safe. Only one guy on duty at night and he was not exactly welcoming or courteous. Rooms had very usable kitchen. Bathroom was bigger than expected. Bed was very old. All furniture very old and cheap. Things are in decent condition but they really are leaning on “historic” to not spend money updating basics. Everything just felt like it was last updated in the 70s or 80s. Old time elevator was a fun trip into the past 😀

Repeat Visitor

A historic hotel, excellent proximity to walkable restaurants and shops. I enjoy the two separate bedrooms for my family. I would have been happier with a less-saggy mattress (bed comfort weighs heavily in my ratings). Bathroom and linens were clean. Shower squealed during use. This is an excellent and affordable waypoint between Tahoe and the SF Bay.

This is a historic hotel that could use some updating. The charm is apparent in the lobby but the rooms need some help. Bedroom was tight, and other seating area was not very comfortable. Location is great for walking around placerville.

Historic and Comfortable.

We love the Cary House! Needed a late last minute stay when our well pump kicked it and we wanted a hot shower. Rooms are cute and unique, hot water pressure was fantastic- the whole hotel has a ton of character! Great location too- excellent food and coffee options right out the front door.

Run down

The place seriously needs some work. Our room had concave floors. It’s very noisy. We booked the hotel because it had a kitchenette, but there were no pots, pans, forks, spoons, plates, etc. the stove and stove oven worked but there was no way to use them without pots or trays. The carpets were dirty. The bathroom ceiling is dirty. The bed was uncomfortable. The building is beautiful, even the elevator is charming. The lobby is lovely to stop into. But I absolutely would not recommend staying here unless it were renovated.

Good stay but upgrades needed.

Rooms are very very long in the tooth. They really need to do some basic maintenance & upgrading. We had a two bedroom, only one room had a lamp, the other an overhead ceiling light, weird. The toilet paper was so thin, you had to use 3X’s the amount. Holes in the wall, no stopper in the sink, picture frame & picture completely falling apart. We were on the street side. A lot of noise until about midnight, maybe some dbl or triple panes windows would be in order for those rooms. However, the bedding was super comfortable. I realize it’s historic but the upgrades and basic maintenance would be nice. Perfect location for everything right there on Main St. Staff very friendly. I stay there every time I’m in Placerville and that won’t change. It’s a good value but some basics need to be addressed.
