10/10 Exceptional

Everything was great. I did think it was completely strange that when I left my room to go downstairs to check out, this housekeeping person asked me as I was walking by what room I just left. I kept walking because I didn't think it was appropriate for her to ask. She chased me down to the elevator and asked me again. I asked "why". She walked away. Still scratching my head over this. Perfect stay. Odd housekeeper kind of marred my overall experience.

6/10 Good

We’ve stayed at the Carte many times and loved it. But the last two visits, we noticed a big change. After a long day exploring San Diego, wanted to relax before heading out for the evening, room was not clean. We had to ask not once but twice to clean our room. We ask if they can replenish the water in the room and the front desk said the first two waters are complementary the bottles are reusable to fill up ourselves. Water machine is next to the elevators not convenient for the price of the rooms. It’s unfortunate, the hotel is in a good location.

We had a such a good experience with all the staff we interacted with. They have a great breakfast, and the breakfast staff remembered our drink orders after the first day. Bartenders were friendly and the drink menu was fun. Front desk staff always welcomed us back. We loved the location, it was quiet but close enough to walk to Little Italy.
