We stayed in the junior suite, and while it was nice it was underwhelming for the price. I was expecting more out of the kitchenette, the fridge is undersized, doesn’t seem to be the right unit for the fridge slot, and doesn’t stay cold so leftovers went bad twice. However mid week we found out that it was plugged into the wrong outlet that turns off when the motion sensors aren’t triggered so maybe that was the issue. If you want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night you have to tap a lap through the living room to trigger the sensors or the light switches don’t work. Biggest issue for us was that it’s not really kid friendly. Restaurants don’t really have a kids menu so everything is audit size and priced, but the food is good. Service is meh in the restaurant and Apple juice was like $9. The manager gave me a hard time about plugging in a Nintendo to the tv, making it sound like plugging in HDMI can hurt the tv. On the good side: location was great, super walkable to little Italy and harbor. Staff was mostly helpful and nice. TLDR; don’t bring the kids and don’t pay for the upgraded room and it will be a great stay

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Carte Hotel for 1 night to celebrate her birthday at the Seneca Restaurant. We had the amazing pleasure to be helped by Desiree at the front desk who made our stay nothing short of amazing and made us both feel special by surprising us with Celebratory Room Service and greeted us with a huge smile and continued to ask how the birthday celebration was, provided suggestions for parking, and wished a big loud Happy Birthday. We found great comfort in our stay with the very clean environment and felt safe and taken care of. We loved the staff especially Desiree at the front desk, cleanliness, and pool/gym options and will definitely be back to the Carte Hotel soon!

The people aren’t too friendly, at the rooftop bar the manager yelled at us from having a boba when we already ordered drinks. The next day at check out (11am) house keeper knocked and woke me up at 8am saying my room was supposed to be vacant! Someone charged our room for drinks and it was a nightmare to fix
