Amazing stay across street best bar ever
Yazmin, 2-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!!!

Really like it !

The Ambiance of this historic hotel is fascinating. The Location is just steps away from several good restaurants and shops which make it a desirable location.

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

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.
Jeri, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very quint and comfortable. Convenient parking and the hotel is right in Oldtown Placerville. The old elevator was amazing.
Julie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Clara, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
