We loved the Cary House. It's an old historic hotel, gorgeous lobby, furnished with period furniture, and an amazing old elevator. If you're into more modern and up to date furnishings and rooms, stay somewhere else. The people that work here are awesome. We'll be going back!

Parking is a little restricted, they have a back lot that you can stay in for free, but it’s a city lot with businesses so it can fill up during the day and then you have to go farther away to get parking. The hotel itself is great! clean room, a little worn but it’s really old in a very cool way. Lobby is fantastic. Help was really good, No complaints.

It is an old property, which has its charm. Having said that - the property was in a better than what I expected. Highlight was the friendly staff. Carly the night Manager was very helpful and lent me her phone charger. Only downside was that I could hear creaking noises whole night and couldn't sleep well. The suite had all the basic amenities.
