I had a great stay at Cara Hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which immediately made me feel comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my stay; they really go out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. The location is fantastic and makes getting around Los Angeles easy, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel is calm and well-curated. The valet service was seamless and convenient, which is always a plus in LA. One of the highlights was definitely the food it was excellent and exceeded my expectations. Overall, a really enjoyable experience. I would absolutely stay here again.

Absolutely adorable! Very well kept. Bar is inviting and had a 3 piece jazz band for happy hour. They were excellent. Dining was really delicious. The only issue we had was the noise from the dining area was right outside our bedroom door. And I couldn’t help wonder if we had any kind of privacy. And rooms are modern and look sharpe, but are very small.

Pros: Excellent service throughout the stay. The text messaging feature was especially helpful — responses to my questions were always prompt and convenient. The hotel is small and quaint, which gave it a more personalized feel. The property was also very clean and offered a snack bar and drinks at reasonable prices. I appreciated the robes and slippers, which added an elevated touch. The location was perfect for attending a concert at the Greek Theatre, and valet service being available until 11:30 PM on a Wednesday was very convenient. Cons: The hotel is cashless and there is no ATM on-site, which made tipping a little inconvenient. Thankfully, there is a Chase Bank next door. The bathroom window in my room opened to an alleyway, which did not feel the safest, although I just kept it locked during my stay. I also noticed a few standard hotel amenities were missing, including an iron/ironing board, a latch lock on the door, and a folding luggage stand. Overall, I would recommend this hotel, especially for anyone looking for a clean, charming place to stay near the Greek Theatre. The excellent service, convenient location, and thoughtful touches made for an enjoyable stay.

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.

A great find

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.
