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.

Although checkin is guaranteed by 4P, our room was not ready when we arrived after 5P. Front desk staff couldn't really explain why. We had reservations at 6P and had to use their gym locker room to change and freshen up. They offered a drink at the rooftop bar but since we already had plans we couldn't enjoy it. Would stay again because the hotel is centrally located and easy to get around town. Room/bed was fine.

My stay at Carte Hotel San Diego Downtown, Curio Collection by Hilton was very good overall. The staff were extremely friendly, nice, and attentive from check-in to check-out, which really made the experience even better. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-kept, and housekeeping did a great job throughout my stay. The gym was amazing—very well equipped and one of the highlights of the hotel. I also loved that everything was within walking distance, making it easy to explore downtown. The only negatives were that the jacuzzi and the main pool were a bit dirty during my visit. Aside from that, everything else was great and I would definitely consider staying there again.
