Disliked: Amenities
The room at the Historic Carey House was not as described online. The listing claimed that the room slept four people, but it only had one queen bed. There was no pullout sofa or Murphy bed as promised. The staff member at the front desk acknowledged this. I asked for at least a partial refund but never received one.

Liked: Amenities
The kitchen was a nice feature, but I was only there for a quick overnight stay. The property is an exceptional example of a gold rush era hotel and is well kept, and in the heart of a rustic gold rush town. I recommend a weekend there to experience the incredible history that NorthernCalifornia has to offer. (Heard the place was delightfully haunted!) I seem to be immune to that sort of stuff though…

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!

This is a lovely old hotel, from the beautiful stained glass to the original elevator. The staff was helpful and pleasant. All was very clean. The electrical outlet in our bathroom, however, did not work. Some of the repairs that had been made in our room was poor workmanship. Enjoyed our stay none the less.

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.
