We have stayed at the Historic Cary House for many years while visiting wine country near Placerville. It is very convenient and walkable to Main Street restaurants and to regional wineries. The hotel is clean and quiet. The front desk manager is very helpful.

I love this property with is old fashioned furnishings, staircase , and elevator that can only hold two people. Traveling as a group of three friends the two bedroom unit met our requirements. It would be great for a family. Only drawback was seeing a homeless person sleeping in the alley next to the hotel.

Once a year.

we like the Cary house for our getaway to the wine country in Plymouth area. Generally, the weather is good, but this weekend was up to 100 degrees. Across the street is a nice little public house restaurant which had good bites and beer choice and meal choices. We went to the Buttercup Pantry restaurant for breakfast and that was also very good. It is the old part of town so there is some history that is interesting. Thank you Placerville.

Historic

It's over a 170 yrs old. It's Historic and it's dated. It's also rumored that it's haunted. Its not a resort and amenities are limited. Everything is in walking distance. You are smack dab in the middle of Placerville. Huge plus. Convenient. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Historical Experience

If you are just wanting a historical experience, this is a good stay. The lobby is beautifully rich in history. The rooms are very dated and small. The plumbing is questionable. The lady that checked us in was very kind. However, I really didn't see anyone else and we were there 2 nights.

We always stay at the Cary House when we visit Placerville. It's within 15 minutes drive to great wineries, you're across the street from great restaurant's and the local shops are charming. We enjoy taking a stroll around the town after dinner and look in the shop windows. Maybe on day we will even encounter a ghost!

Happy with property not so happy with hotel.com not letting me use my gift card or being reachable by phone- finally get a human and still can’t use the gift card The property was was very nice just be aware of the elevator, it’s old and they tell you to watch your step and I forgot and tripped but there’s a VibesUp store nearby and they fixed my sore knee quickly!

The front desk staff, especially Carly, was really helpful. She even came to our room to help us with the tv remote and air conditioning. The only downside was nighttime noise from the nearby highway.
