“Downtown san diego carte”

On a decent quiet edge-of-Little-Italy spot — the Midway museum a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk, harbourfront easy, Starbucks and 7-Eleven near — Carte Hotel San Diego Downtown, Curio Collection by Hilton is a great super happy stay: a clean spacious comfortable room, two gifted aluminium water bottles plus a refill station, a rich made-to-order breakfast, good croissants covered by a prepaid credit, a great rooftop bar and recommended family-friendly Hilton-standard service. Cautions: a small buildings-hemmed pool, a cold evening rooftop and seventy-dollar valet amid unclear nearby lots.
