히스토릭 캐리 하우스 호텔

Location was great, bed was decent, shower was good. Friendly staff. This whole hotel could use a refurbish. I know it’s a historic building, but the fittings in the room were neither Gold Rush-era historic nor up-to-date. The whole building had a dusty musty smell. Aside from these minor complaints it was a decent value for the price.

We’ve stayed in room 302 several times and we like it. The room was warm and comfortable and the beds were great. The condition of the room was in need of some minor upkeep. It’s a two bedroom room but there was only one chair to sit in. I used the chair from the desk and it wasn’t great but we managed. The kitchen was stocked with odd, mismatched plates, glasses, forks, spoons, etc. I would have liked a toaster and salt/pepper. We had to ask for dish soap and a kitchen towel. There were no paper towels, sponge, scrubber… There was a matching set of pots/pans. The fridge worked well. The staff were all very friendly and fun to talk to. We’ll be back, we love the Cary House.

We had a very nice stay at the Historic Cary House Hotel. The check in was smooth and the gal could not have been more lovely. I regret not learning her name to give her credit for making the stay perfect. She was very friendly and gave lots of good advice on places to eat. Overall just a really nice woman, she made us feel like we had been friends for years. The room was very nice as well. We stayed in a two bedrooms, and it had plenty of space. It’s been updated and had a cute kitchen with two refrigerators. The beds were all upgraded to memory foam mattresses. There were extra pillows and blankets in the closet. The heater worked well and warmed up the room nicely while we went to dinner. The hotel is old so the floors are not exactly level but it adds to the charm. This place is about 150 years old. It has seen many historic figures pass through its doors, most noteworthy for me was Mark Twain. He’s been my favorite author all my life. This hotel is in the heart of Placerville and easy to walk the cute historic Main Street and close to lots of restaurants and shops. It’s definitely worth the visit if you’re stopping over in Placerville. It’s been very well maintained and in great condition for its age. I most especially loved the elevator! It’s a piece of history all on its own!

We loved the architecture. I will say there was no place to put our luggage and clothing other than on the floor. The toilet ran off and on during the night. There were holes near the bathroom vanity where perhaps a towel rack once existed (no place to hang a towel). Also the "cabinet" by the outside wall, where we looked for storage, may have been a stored bed, but upon taking a look, the latch was broken and we were concerned about it falling in the night. Otherwise, we loved it.

AC was perfect. Parking was easy and allowed us to walk downtown.
