I stayed at the Cara hotel for an anniversary staycation. The hotel is a revamped from an old motel and now it looks and feels like a resort with the all white decor. If you want peace and quietness, this isn’t the hotel for you as the courtyard restaurant is right outside your door and the hallway to your room is often filled with employees walking to and from waiting on the customer tables. At one point I felt like I had to yell “corner” just like the staff when I was walking that hallway every time I came out or had to go back to the room. It’s very pretty but honestly for the price, I wouldn’t stay long or go frequently because it does lack basic services. The room is small and the lights were flickering on and off and the shower head was flimsy too with water sprouting in different directions. There’s no ice machine either. I prefer the intercontinental over here to be honest. However, the Cara restaurant is amazing. The ambiance is lovely and the food, despite small portions, was absolutely delicious. The service was nice too, but, only thing that really bothered me was when I paid with a prepaid debit card and the rest on my credit card, the server told me stating that if I enjoyed her service, to tip her on the full amount of the bill, not after the prepaid debit card amount was gone. I am aware of the amount changing and was planning on tipping on the actual full amount, but the forward comment felt like it snapped me out of the lovely dining experience I had.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is the quite run-down. There is way too much noise from the courtyard restaurant up into the rooms until late st night. It was very difficult to sleep. The rooms are stuffy and even worse because we were trying to keep the windows closed to keep the noise out. There is no elevator so it’s difficult and unsafe to move luggage up the rickety wooden stairs. There is no bellman to hepl move luggage.
