We always try to stay at the Carey when we are in Placerville. It is a unique and historical place that we want to support and at the same time enjoy! Many eating and shopping opportunities within easy walking distance.

I had a horrible (that’s putting it lightly) experience with the front desk employee today. My room was booked a month prior. I showed up today close to 3pm to be told very nonchalantly Taylor did not have time to call me prior, but my room had extensive damage and I could no longer stay there. I asked what I’m supposed to do and she said she called the Best Western and they had one room left. She had time to call them though, just not me who showed up with nowhere to stay. Horrible in so many ways. I asked her what if I didn’t want to stay at Best Western (3 exits down the road) and she said she didn’t know what to tell me and that was my option. You’ve read this far, so if you’re jaw isn’t open from the utter lack of any good customer service and even care on her part how inconvenienced I was, then I don’t know what to say. I never raised my voice. What I did was let her know how unacceptable that was and Taylor had a classic tantrum and yelled at me to leave for harassment. She called 911, I met the officer outside and explained what happened inside. His response was finding out there was no room at 3pm checkin was wrong. I will never recommend this hotel, but I will let every one I know about this experience. Absolutely horrible with the weakest way to even help accommodate me.

Pretty happy with the overall experience, I would stay there again. It’s an old hotel, so remember that when booking it. But it offered everything we needed.

Staying at the Cary House is like a bit of time travel. It's an old hotel, well kept with local people greeting you at the desk. It's not super fancy, but it feels like more of a connective experience than any other option in the area. I'll definitely stay here again when I come visit.

It’s in the best location in Placerville, right in the historic downtown. But the property is not maintained. Grimy old carpets, almost no staff. The AC in the room didn’t work. The refrigerator didn’t work. Location A plus, property condition D

Our TV didn’t work in our room, and we found a long white hair in our bed as well as hair in the drain of the shower… aside from that, it was a very historic and neat experience with great food in walking distance!
