My family and I were lucky enough to have stayed at the Cary House when we were visiting family during Christmas weekend. We had done a little research on the area, but also had heard many great things about the Historic Cary House from our family members who are familiar with the area. Our room was a two bedroom suite,... more

My sister and I stayed at this property after carefully researching all that Placerville had to offer. Check in was very pleasant and the lobby is quite neat. It is in a good location within walking distance to restaurants and bars. Now onto the room: We were sorely dissapointed. The decor was right out of the 70's. Some might find... more

My co-worker and I originally booked the two bed suite, and after looking at about six total rooms, switched to choose two singles. If you have the opportunity visit other rooms; I saw five of the six that I would enjoy staying in very much for different reasons. Each room IS unique. Joel answered every question we had (impressive) and... more

Great hotel. Very Historic. Staff very helpful. Unfortunately, two fellow hotel guests decided to talk right outside room door at 2:amj. Date of Stay : Aug 8, 2009 more

The Cary House is a great old hotel with a hot of charm in the lobby and a ton of history! The lobby has some great stuff in it and the breakfast and free wi-fi are excellent, also there was air conditioning.

The lobby is beautiful, just what you would expect form an historic hotel. We had the double room, 2 beds, and found the decor to be disappointing compared to the photos on the website, just basic plain. The kitchenette was nice, two burners a frige & sink, except there were no pots/pans or utensils. Breakfast was basic as well. If... more

I was a little concerned about paying large to stay here after reading some of the reviews here, but we were only staying one night - my birthday - on the way to San Francisco, so we tried it. It is in an excellent location - easy walking to good restaurants and bars, or shopping in boutique stores if that's... more

When considering the price of the rooms on a weekend, the bath towels were very small and thin. The continental breakfast wasn't as good as many nation chain motels. A potential safety problem I saw as well as another guest: The alley between the hotel and the parking lot was very long and there was no exterior lighting. more
