A pleasant stay in an old historic hotel
This hotel was built in 1857, so it is very old. We did not expect the Marriott, but some things could be improved upon. Unfortunately, the chairs in the room were very old and uncomfortable so we decided to read down in the lobby on a tufted couch. Much better option. Plus it was very entertaining to watch the comings and goings happening in the lobby. The Queen bed was not the most comfortable, and could use an replacement update. Also, the deodorant that they use to freshen the room is was too STRONG. Fortunately, the rooms have 2 windows that we could open all the way to bring in fresh air. Without that option, we would not have been able to stay in the room. We did love the uniqueness of the hotel and its decorations and history. There is a book in the lobby with several stories about the hotel and its history. The old elevator was an adventure to be sure. The beautiful staircase was an option if you don't want to brave the elevator. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. There are so many shopping options in the area, and lots of choices for places to eat. We were there to see my grand daughter walk in the holiday parade with her 4-H club. It was a special occasion, but next time I will book a room facing the street. If you want a unique experience, give this hotel a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Nice old hotel with alot of character and charm. Great location and at a fair affordable price. When checking in the girl at the desk never looked up, said anything to us and sat there painting her nails. After what seemed like a long awkward length of time a second girl stepped in and checked us in.

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.

Excellent stay. Understand that its historian. If you won't upgrade the rooms, carpet, etc... at least upgrade the linens, soaps, etc... it doesn’t take much to do so.

Historic Hotel
It’s a historic hotel in the old town of Placerville. The staff were very friendly. We had parking for our car. The bed wasn’t very comfortable but the room was quiet. It was great to be in walking distance of shops and wonderful restaurants!

The structure is pretty neat, but rehab is badly needed to maintain it’s integrity. Starting with safe flooring. The old carpets can be a hazard.
