The staff was AMAZING. So kind and happy to chat about the property. It’s definitely historic but clean. No frills and comfy beds, and you can’t beat the location. Thank you Cary House for a great 4th of July weekend stay!

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.

The Cary Hotel is my favorite place in Placerville. It's beautiful, comfortable, and convenient. The staff just couldn't be nicer. My favorite part is the little bits of historical knowledge all over the place.

When I go on vacation, I want to get away from the internet/tv/cable and the like. But the internet was slow. The way it should be when I am on vacation. They should probably turn it off in fact (Ha).

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!
