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!
