Wonderful

Small but nice rooms with a little balcony overlooking the interior courtyard. Ground floor covered courtyard a pretty spot for breakfast or dinner. Thai town is around the corner. Griffith Park a short walk away.

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 Cara was a lovely oasis tucked away in East Hollywood. The rooms were simple but chic, quiet and comfortable, with a nice balcony to enjoy a morning coffee overlooking a gorgeous courtyard. Had breakfast and dinner here and both meals were delicious and staff attentive. I'll definitely be staying here again.
Evening desk staff was excellent! He graciously helped me with all my issues. Morning and night desk staff were also helpful.
Overall the two rooms were clean and comfortable but a bit expensive for me for a longer visit. Thanks!
5 stars all the way around!! Beautiful hotel and friendly helpful staff. Missing a pool, but we were going to the Greek Theater for a concert, only a 7 min short ride away! Highly recommend!
The Cara was a small but well curated property. The staff was friendly and the restaurant very tasty. We loved the pillows/bedding in the room. Great location
Loved almost everything from the staff interactions to the lovely dinner and breakfast served at their restaurant. Areas a little rough to get find at first, but once called we were directed to the front for valet. Gets my stamp of approval .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
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.
Comfortable bed and room. Good location. Liked having the secured parking. Only drawback: no coffee in the room for the morning and nothing available as we departed before 7 am.
