We didn’t have to sleep...

Liked: Location was great.
Disliked: The girl at the front desk was RUDE af. Not helpful and didn’t like any questions or being bothered at all. So unfriendly in such a special place in CA & History. She alone has me not wanting to come back. No I don’t remember her name. You can look up the date of check in. There were 3 separate rooms booked and she was unfriendly to each guest. Your rooms are seriously out dated and shabby. The beds uncomfortable and the sticky carpet and floors along with an unworking air conditioner was horrible on a warm night. So much great potential running into the ground. Clean up and update this amazing place.

Bad

Loved it and the bargain...

Liked: The Carey house is furnished with incredible antique furnishings and matching dark brown/red woodwork in the lobby as well as large, back lit stained glass window coverings along the wall across from the front desk,. An antique piano and a chess board with chairs and well as chairs and couches filled out the lobby. My room was similarly furnished though they may have been imitation but IDC. I ended up paying for a single room but ended up with a sitting room with two wing chairs and TV as well as a vary small kitchen (two burner stove top, mini fridge and sink to go with the bathroom and my bedroom with a second TV and a comfy bed. The weather was mild so no AC in the room was a non issue but I can see it could be in mid summer. The only minor drawback was the carpets in the hall were not perfectly smooth but the damn building is 150 years old so its to be expected. Staff was very friendly but the front desk closed down relatively early and opened later than expected (seemed to operate from 8:00am-7:00PM although they could be reached by phone. That they locked the lobby doors when the front desk was no staffed was actually a bonus since non guest could not wander around and the room key opened the front door when it was locked. This is a historic hotel with all the look and atmosphere one could hope for at incredibly cheap price ($83.00/night for three nights). I would stay there again in a second. Also several food options within a couple of block in downtown Old Placerville and while most of the food was just OK it was close and acceptable. I even took photos of the lobby to show off to my friends who stayed in other nearby places at much higher prices.
Disliked: House cleaning was available on request but I suspect that was due to being unable to find employees. I got whatever I needed from the front desk clerk when they were around.
