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!!!

Great historic property and central to everything in Placervile. Old building, so heat/cooling is tricky, and with hard wood floors, it was a little chilly but extra blankets provided. Squeeky floors, loud door and old windows with lots of street noise, but all to be expected. Well equipped and fun to stay at such an old hotel with so much history.

Liked: Staff & service
This was a very unusual experience. The hotel is historic and very convenient to the quaint downtown. The hotel elevator is probably the oldest you will ever use. It has an uncomfortable bump when it lands. The floor in the lobby near the elevator is uneven and presented a fall hazard. The bedroom was very small, but there was a separate siting room. There was a kitchenette in the sitting room, but there wasn't a table where you could sit around to enjoy a meal or snack. The carpet felt dirty. We couldn't figure out the two TV remote setup, and the problem was immediately solve when we let the office know.

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

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.
