Carte hotel San Diego delivered above and beyond our expectations. With the location being close to almost every entertainment you can imagine and the amenities included for the stay we had. We would definitely lodge here again if the chance came up again.

I booked the Carte following a recommendation and rave reviews from a fellow member of a FB travel group. It was the perfect choice! The hotel staff were very welcoming and accommodating, especially Nat. I appreciate her so much and helping to make my stay in San Diego seamless and easy. While early check in was not available, they held my bags until check-in time and again after i checked out, while i grabbed one last bite in Little Italy and walked around a bit at the pier. The room was fantastic! Very modern and very clean. The Carte is a very peaceful hotel, in a great location, and with a lot of amenities. I will definitely stay here again when visiting the city and will recommend it to others.

The hotel was well situated for visiting many sites. Bed was comfortable and room always kept clean. However, the downside was in the booking. They have a policy of a destination fee, which must be paid upon arrival. It allows you a $30 per day credit in their two restaurants, which we used for breakfast each morning. Breakfast was usually US$ 43-47 for two each day. Didn’t like the idea of having to drink or eat in the hotel, which I found to be very expensive.

Less than Ideal.
When I arrived to the hotel my room didn't have any garbage bags in any of the receptacles. The shower wasn't functional and even after being serviced wasn't fixed. Firstly started off ice cold then when fixed was blistering hot. The attitude from the workers were friendly even after all of the inconvenience's I had.

This property is surrounded by construction and construction noise. It is non stop all night. We got a room with a sofa bed for our daughter. The bed has no padding it is a sheet over springs. We asked for the “mattress” to be replaced they had no replacement. Staff is great, gym is awesome. Close walk to Little Italy. So I would say great hotel if you or your family don’t need sleep.
