My stay at the Cara Hotel was wonderful. It was just what I needed at the last minute. The room was spotless, comfortable, well appointed, with just the right amenities. From the valet to the desk managers, to the housekeeping staff and restaurant staff, everyone I encountered was friendly and courteous, and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. The night manager was especially helpful when I needed an extra blanket and space heater for warmth.

The staff was very attentive. We got in late and in the morning we were looking out on a garbage dump with garbage in them . It felt less like a boutique hotel and more of a motel In busy area surrounded by large brand retailers This was bare bones open closet, The room was small but clean the public areas were lovely

The room was clean. The staff was great. There were no amenities in the room such as lotion. The room had no chairs. The bathroom lacked a towel rack, or shelves to put your toiletries. The room was located above the bar and courtyard. The noise was too loud to sleep. The TV was pay to watch. No live Tv.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This a renovated motel from the 50’s…parking has been renovated to a dining area and pool. The small room, antiquated bathroom are indicative of this. The dining is within a few feet of the rooms…poorly soundproofed. A chi-chi group of diners cackled into the 10 o’clock hour, making sleep impossible. Adequate comfort for size, reasonably comfortable despite sagging mattress. Overall poor value for the $33+ charged.
