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.

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.

Started with Eva at check-in. Super friendly and informative. The room was really nice - beautiful finishes on the walls and in the bathroom. The make-up mirror is an especially nice touch. Although it was late and the area was closed, security guy allowed us into the pool area for a quick look. Valets were helpful with parking recommendations. The rooftop lounge was very cool. All in all, a lovely stay.
