We always stay at the Cary House when we visit Placerville. It's within 15 minutes drive to great wineries, you're across the street from great restaurant's and the local shops are charming. We enjoy taking a stroll around the town after dinner and look in the shop windows. Maybe on day we will even encounter a ghost!

The front desk staff, especially Carly, was really helpful. She even came to our room to help us with the tv remote and air conditioning. The only downside was nighttime noise from the nearby highway.

The hotel was neat. I enjoyed the history behind it. The bed was a bit soft for me but I made do. Curious as to why the room was slanted but it did not appear that the building from the outside was slanted. Just a curious observation.
