Loved our stay at Cara Hotel! We were consistently welcomed in warm, genuine hospitality; felt inspired and relaxed by the thoughtful, clean design; and slept deeper than most nights of late in the linens and supportive bed. Proximity to Friend & Family and Griffith Observatory Trail made for grounding morning coffee walks, and between Thai Town and Little Armenia, the neighborhood is full of amazing dinner options. Only wish we could have stayed longer — will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay. The food was good and rooms were clean and simple. The only downside is how loud everything is. We got woken up early because the restaurant is right outside the room windows. You could also hear your upstairs neighbors every step. I honestly loved the hotel itself though and would probably stay here again. I loved the outside bar, the drinks and food were fantastic.
