10/10 Excellent
"This is probably our 5th visit to the Cara Hotel as it is close to family. Every time we check in, we feel very welcome and are well looked after by the staff. This time I was on crutches, and the front desk staff (Matson?) was exceptionally kind and helpful, happily carrying multiple bags to our room, and he made sure that everything was set up to accommodate my needs. The valets are also very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is so special at this hotel. The rooms aren't huge, but they are well appointed with very comfortable mattresses, bed linens, and pillows. The showers have fantastic-smelling body washes, conditioner, and shampoo. I highly recommend the Cara Hotel"

8/10 Good
"First and foremost, this is my first time at a boutique stay like this so I had a little expectations. What I would say was that since it was high rated, I expected white sheets and white towels. The towels were black and so were the bedsheets so that put me off just a bit. However, everywhere was spectacularly cleaned. Water, tea, all the utensils plates, and anything you need to kind of make your own custom dishes or eat takeout was available. No washing machine was available or was offered when I had asked. Also the outside area did have stains on the couch and so me and my friend were very much hesitant to sit there. So I would just say they need to clean that area a little bit more. However, on my last day, they changed the code without notifications so I was stuck outside for about 10 minutes and luckily someone did get back in time before my phone died. The walls are thin, but people were very respectful so that was nice. Also the pressure of the water and the shower was good and hot. Toothbrush and body lotion and razors were available if needed. I love that you can lock your door so I use it every time I left. It was also quiet, but the windows were large so if you left your windows open, people can definitely see inside."
