Pros:

The location close to Airport suited our needs for a next day early start. Within our room, the amenities were fresh / new. Staff were energetic.

Cons:

There was some confusion between The Cara Hotel and our booking in the The Cara Boutique Hotel, however, once resolved both were within walking distance of each other.

Exquisite ♥️
Pros:

The room and the bathroom is super spacious. It looked exactly as advertised. Water pressure was the best. There is heater too so don’t worry. There are restaurants and convenience stores close by and it is close to the airport and highway. The staffs go above and beyond! We wanted to rent a car the last minute and they happily did it for us. Even help us get our things outside and inside our car (in the rain!). The hotel is 10/10 but staff service is 100/10!

Cons:

Parking was kind of limited. Perhaps to inform the hotel earlier to reserve a spot for you.
