Started with Eva at check-in. Super friendly and informative. The room was really nice - beautiful finishes on the walls and in the bathroom. The make-up mirror is an especially nice touch. Although it was late and the area was closed, security guy allowed us into the pool area for a quick look. Valets were helpful with parking recommendations. The rooftop lounge was very cool. All in all, a lovely stay.

I recommend staying at Carte, it is a clean and modern hotel close to Little Italy and harbor area. Many dining options close and it is quiet. I have stayed at several hotels in downtown SD and this is my favorite!

Excellent location and very accessible to public transportation. The room was comfortable. The cleaning staff not at all efficient. Did not clean nor replace towels. Did not made the beds nor take the garbage out.
Did not have breakfast at the hotel.

When we booked, we stayed during the rock and roll marathon and the finish line was very close to the hotel. The restaurant downstairs was super busy the morning of the marathon but overall they did a good job

Bad - bedside night lamps were broken, the house keeping missed a day, when asked for a toilet paper, the house keeping rejected saying there are no more toilet papers. Phones are old and they don’t go through.
Good - The reception desk were helpful and cheerful, valet service was great and the canvas cafe service was good as well.
