Michael, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Only one window would open and only after great effort. The rest were screwed shut. It being CA, the hotel only had heat and no AC was available a this time of year. Staff was super nice. Great location.
Fifi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoy staying here because I love that I can walk to VibesUp store and the Enchanted Forest Restuarant - the Hotel is historic but very well kept, clean and quaint- so much fun each time I visit with friends for a wonderful experience in downtown Placerville. The staff is beyond wonderful, and I love that the elevator still working and surprising us with a different experience each and every ride is FUN!!!

Super clean, friendly staff, excellent location. A great value
Martha, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The kitchen had no supplies whatsoever but that was ok. We bought some utensils and plates at the hardware store across the street. The big problem was that there is no AC in October apparently and the room was extremely hot. They gave us two fans to use and that helped but there was no way to keep the windows open to get a breeze. Our little room was sweltering during the day!
Deanna, 2-night trip

Was a nice weekend stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff and charming room

We spent the day in Apple Hill, and checked in at 3:30. We walked up and down the quaint Main Street of Placerville, and had dinner at a restaurant that was recommended by the hotel. Dinner at Brick's was yummy, and a short stroll from the Hotel. We slept well and got up and went to coffee at Cuppa in the morning. The only small issue we had was the trash being collected at 5:30 am, (This is a city issue, not hotel) Enjoy your stay

Freddy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Judith, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
