I stayed at the Cary House for three nights while attending my friend's wedding, and the experience was phenomenal. The hotel and its rooms are very clean and neat, while providing a historic feel that made the trip even more memorable. The location is great - right on the main street of the town. The staff were probably the best... More

Attended a wedding back in September, and the entire bridal party stayed at the Cary House for the weekend. The customer service was outstanding; we arrived way earlier than expected and the receptionist gave us a room ahead of schedule with no charge. It was a wonderful place to spend the weekend; perfect location close to bar, salon, flower shop,... More

We had our wedding in Camino, CA in September 2011 with 100 guests. Almost all of our guests stayed at the Cary House in Placerville. Over a period of 9 months, we worked with Chester from the hotel to coordinate rooms and lengths of stay, which changed about a dozen times. Our party was so disorganized, but the Cary House... More

This hotel is very old and has quite a bit of charm. We stayed in the two room suite which had two beds and a small kitchenette that came with plates, cups, utensils. I travel with my husband, two teenagers, and the dog. The happily allowed my small dog without charge which was wonderful and he had such a good... More

The Mother Lode attracted the ‘49ers to the Sierra Nevada and before the first gold panner could say “Sutter’s Mill,” he was joined by a rascally mob of crooks, claim jumpers, con artists, horse thieves, cutpurses and murderers. They seemed to gather around the shantytown of Dry Diggin’s. The miners didn’t have much patience with being relieved of their gold... More

I never know what to expect when a Hotel describes itself as being haunted. After spending a couple of days in room 212, I got to say I was impressed. Nothing reached out and grabbed me, but by K2 and some other instruments were off the charts. A few EVP’s as well. Service was great. Staff was friendly and the... More

This is an unusual hotel, but it has a lot of character, as does the little town of Placerville. I stayed there for a couple of nights recently and enjoyed the ambience of the hotel and the feeling of history behind it. My room was on the first (second) floor and as I'd asked for a quiet room I got... More

I agree with other reviewers; it is important to remember this hotel was built in the mid-1800's. It was dark in the lobby and not very appealing to enter. The hotel faced the main street of Placerville, and during the day, had a lot of street noise. We would suggest a room in the back of the hotel and on... More

I think it is important to remember that this hotel was built in 1857. While there are many upgrades it still is a historical building and has some issues as a result. I like the quirks and uniqueness. We stayed in room 211 for two nights and loved it! The furniture is vintage and eclectic. The king suite only cost... More
