Cute Victorian lobby
Very pretty Victorian hotel. Very convenient to walk and stay in town. The lobby is lovely. The room wasn’t keeping with the theme. The beds were fairly comfortable. There was no microwave. There was a small stove but non pots or any kitchen accessories, so no way to warm or cook anything. The room was very clean, the receptionist was very. Ice and helpful.

Historic and Comfortable.
We love the Cary House! Needed a late last minute stay when our well pump kicked it and we wanted a hot shower. Rooms are cute and unique, hot water pressure was fantastic- the whole hotel has a ton of character! Great location too- excellent food and coffee options right out the front door.

My dog and I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Friendly staff and a quaint room. Very old fashion, almost to the point of going back in time. We will definitely be staying there again

Repeat Visitor
A historic hotel, excellent proximity to walkable restaurants and shops. I enjoy the two separate bedrooms for my family. I would have been happier with a less-saggy mattress (bed comfort weighs heavily in my ratings). Bathroom and linens were clean. Shower squealed during use. This is an excellent and affordable waypoint between Tahoe and the SF Bay.

It’s an historical building with a lot of character. My husband and I stay there every time we pass through…we love the location. It is so close to Apple Hill and it’s half way to Tahoe. Great place to stay for a weekend.
