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!

It is an old property, which has its charm. Having said that - the property was in a better than what I expected. Highlight was the friendly staff. Carly the night Manager was very helpful and lent me her phone charger. Only downside was that I could hear creaking noises whole night and couldn't sleep well. The suite had all the basic amenities.

It was warm hot but property hadn’t switched over to AC so was given a standing fan. Incomplete set up in kitchen. Had to ask for bowl and spoon, which staff was able to find. Charming property. Next time, will try to get a room that faces street. Great, helpful, knowledgeable front desk staff.

Our room was facing the street and was noisy. There are bars across the street which were loud with people and motorcycles coming and going until 2 am on a Friday night. The following night the people in room next door were not respectful of the quiet hours and the walls are very thin. I also would not recommend the hotel if you have any mobility issues.
