From the time I arrived I was grateful the receptionist allowed me to check in early. I was super early however, Layla was understanding and accommodating. My room was very spacious and clean. Room temperature was pleasant, hot water was nice, the view was immaculate. The rooftop view was everything. Jeff was my bartender and he was such a sweet, respectful young man. I will definitely stay at Carte again when back in San Diego.
