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.

Room wasn’t ready at guaranteed time and room wasn’t clean properly either. Check in is 4PM but I didn’t get my room until 5:15 and they didn’t even inform me about my room being ready. From that, I had to cancel my reservation for my anniversary. In addition to that, they double charged me, even though I had already prepaid for my room months in advance. The lack of readiness of this hotel was extremely disappointing. My family has been a part of Hilton ever since I was young and to see that this Hilton wasn’t up to par was very upsetting. Amenities like the gym and pool were great and staff was just okay. The reason I booked this location because it was at walking distance to everything and Hilton is a hotel that I grew up with but I’m not sure I would come back to this location.
