It was late in the night and was also raining hard so instead of driving back to Manila, we decided to stay at this hotel. As I work remotely, my first question is if the hotel has good internet connection and this hotel has one so we decided to stay. True enough, connection is good but apart from that, nothing else stands out from this hotel. Accommodation is very basic but we had to transfer rooms twice because the first one given to us has a non working AC. Room is spacious enough and the beds are comfortable. Parking area is very dark. Also, I find this hotel expensive.

Sleep is okay, clean room, good aircon and strong water, with heated shower. And Strong WIFI plus parking security guard. However, breakfast was not appropriate for a Hotel (cup of rice+spam+egg+coffee or corned beef or hotdog) Not even a Tomato on the side. Leaking Bidet, that McGiver needs to improvise to avoid slipping on the Toilet. No complimentary Water, No ref. Just a place to sleep and bath. And parking may be a hassle, which would be a tight fit for a Pick Up Truck.

The hotel has a great location along the main highway of Lipa but not quite easy to find since you have to access a ramp to reach the lobby. Rooms have modern minimal design and are spacious with big lockers, dining table and toiletries. Quiet atmosphere and relaxed lighting except for the noisy ongoing repairs which were not advised to guests. Poor water pressure and clogged shower head. Wifi internet speed is slow. The hotel is understaffed yet attentive to inquiry or service requests, but slow. Airconditioner drips inside the room but we were gladly moved to a better room. Bedsheets and towels (smelled musty) are old and need replacement. It has no restaurant anymore, outdated website but assists with phone numbers of available fastfood chains or offers to place orders for guests. Breakfast is complimentary and plated, but with choices. Helpful staff. Might come back. …

They reuse the comforters and beddings. When we requested for replacement, the housekeeping staff gave us another used comforter and sheets..Gross!!! Very unhygienic and POOR SERVICE! This hotel is beside the highway, expect loud noise outside. No elevator. No vault and electronic door lock, not safe to stay. This hotel needs upgrade and improvement. We are very unsatisfied!

This hotel is better than the other one. It was clean and decent. Fee is not as expensive as that of la corona. Room is bigger. Cr/bath is also bigger. Water is sufficient. Drainage was not clogged. Room smells clean. Staffs are friendly. Wifi ready as well. Although in the morning, you will also hear construction noise. Over all stay is better.

Hotel Cara is easy to find and located on the main road in Lipa. From there, you can go anywhere from downtown to the STAR expressway. Was just staying for the night in Lipa and we just got their 12 hour rate. It was reasonable eventhough there was no breakfast. Again, we just needed a place to sleep and this one gave us a comfortable one. Downside would be that there is no elevator so it could be challenging for those in need of one. Then again, the hotel is just 3 floors where the ground floor is reserved for the lobby and the rooms are located in the second and third floor. The room was spacious and just right. There are basic toiletries which is just average in quality. The service was superb and they go the extra mile to make your stay pleasant. There's also free wifi. Would stay here again in case I'm in Lipa.…

So clean, and neat. Wifi (fast) and Cable TV is available. Aircon is OK. Just choose the room farther from the streets. Good choice for travelers, overnight stay. Just get something to munch and drink in stores nearby (Big Ben area)

I was originally booked in one of the famous hotel here in Lipa but needs to transfer to Cara for three nights, did not expect anything good, but the experienced was wonderful. The hotel has a very spacious room for a Standard type (a family of 4-6 can fit in!). The comfy and soft bed was a pleasure, too bad I stayed in a room which is a room or two closer to the street (the traffic noise is annoying). Everything is great really, but during my stay, the internet connection was terrible (I hope it's just the weather) The front desk and all their service staff are friendly and very accommodating.
