Arrived early before the 4pm check in. They took down my number and said they’d call when the room was ready. My fiancé and I waited in the lobby for the last hour until 4pm and watched 3 people get their room keys before us and I never got a call or text that our room was ready. After I saw others get their room keys, I asked the front desk about the room and she said it just became available and then gave us the key.

I expected an awesome experience but was not told about the lobby reno’s in advance. So I am there as a non refundable guest with no options. There were lots of other cool unique properties I would have stayed at if I had known. Bathtub very old- too old to clean. I was in 1409 and could here the noise in the background. At the least I would have expected a partial refund, but none was offered. Cool concept and expect the reno’s will be great in the future. I was alone on business without my family so it was only my disappointment.

I had a fantastic stay at Carte Hotel San Diego. The property was exceptionally clean and modern, with a sleek design and well-maintained amenities. The staff was courteous, professional, and always ready to assist. The rooftop pool and bar offer stunning views of the city, and the location is perfect—just a short walk to Little Italy, dining spots, and waterfront areas. The atmosphere was both relaxing and upscale. Highly recommended for both business and leisure travelers.
