Cute Victorian lobby

Very pretty Victorian hotel. Very convenient to walk and stay in town. The lobby is lovely. The room wasn’t keeping with the theme. The beds were fairly comfortable. There was no microwave. There was a small stove but non pots or any kitchen accessories, so no way to warm or cook anything. The room was very clean, the receptionist was very. Ice and helpful.

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.
