Verified Reviews of Historic Cary House Hotel
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Nice Room"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
My sister and I stayed for a couple of days. The woman (I wish I could remember her name) was extremely nice and helpful. The room was very clean. The linens were nice. Some minor quibbles. There were no bedside lamps and the kichen (yes, there was a small kitchen and sitting area, had a drippy faucet. If you plan to stay, bring everything you'll need. There are no plates, utensils, etc. The kind front desk clerka found us a couple of plates, a skillet, forks and napkins. Again, she was terrific. I would stay again.

Overall Score3.0/ 5
My room could have been cleaner. The mattress and pillows were uncomfortable. The furniture was worn and in need of polish. No tissue was supplied and the phone did not work. The location was the reason I stayed here. Next time I will stay in a different location and drive into town.
