This is a hotel built in the 1850’s so different yardstick for amenities. A lot of great history. And the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. Plenty of hot water and pressure as well. Staff were super nice and very helpful. Really enjoyed it.

I stay here a lot, it is a funky OLD Hotel, you can see, feel (and smell) the history - Staff is always great, the Kitchen is not stocked with anything other than having a stove top - no pots, pans, silverware..... just an FYI - I am thankful for the Cary House - will go back!

Great Historic Charm in a Perfect Location! If you love vintage hotels with a lot of character, the Historic Cary House is a fantastic place to stay. It’s located right in the heart of downtown Placerville, making it incredibly convenient to step out and explore the town. Because it’s an authentic historic building, everything is on the older side. Just a heads-up for future guests: even though the rooms do have AC, the older infrastructure means it can still get a bit warm inside, so just come prepared for that! That being said, the rooms were very clean, and the beds were nice and comfortable. It's a wonderful, unique spot if you want to soak up some local history!

This is a 170 year old hotel with an elevator from the 1920's and it does show its age but it's conveniently located right on the main street going through the tourist destination of Placerville. Acceptable cleanliness and staff was very friendly and helpful. The decor and carpeting and fixtures showed a significant amount of wear. If you're looking for the fun and the ambiance of the town it's good - if you're looking for a hotel comparable to Marriott or Hyatt it's not in that category.

We loved the Cary House. It's an old historic hotel, gorgeous lobby, furnished with period furniture, and an amazing old elevator. If you're into more modern and up to date furnishings and rooms, stay somewhere else. The people that work here are awesome. We'll be going back!

kitchenette had 2 forks 2 knifes 2 spoons 2 plastic plates 2 plastic glasses a oven mit ,i have no idea why they had a stove e in the room there was nothing to cook with, also the refrigerator door should have been made to open on the left side to make it easier to get into. I wanted a king size bed and the option was a room with a kitchenette good thing i didn't need to cook. The chairs in the room are not convertible to sit in. the flooring in the sitting/kitchen area needs to be replaced, there was a broken cover plate. in the bathroom the wall had been patched but not painted. I love the history of the hotel and the woodwork
