“The Historic Cary House Hotel, built in 1857, presents a dichotomy; some find its age charming with antique furnishings, while others note a decline in service despite rising costs. Its location near Placerville's attractions and historical sites is a definite draw, and features like the old elevator provide unique talking points. Ultimately, it's a property with character that may appeal to history enthusiasts prepared for a less polished stay.”
