Great room at a reasonable price.

I found Hotel San Carlos to be a great place to stay. The room rate was economical and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Excellent 1920's hotel

The hotel is in great shape for its age. It's located within easy walking distance of the Convention Center and Chase Field. The old pictures and photographs on the walls provided a terrific view of early downtown Phoenix.

Great for the money

Great Location to lightrail and really nice staff. Not a whole lot of paring and the valet takes a while to get your car. Really old rooms and plumbing (cold to hot shower) but for the cheap room in a nice downtown location I would fully recomend this hotel.

Bring your earplugs!

I started my stay at this hotel on a bad note, they told me there was self parking - they lied! There is only valet, and the sour woman I was greeted by really made me mad. Then we got up to our creepy room and realized we could hear every conversation on the floor - until 5 AM. The hotel did not do anything to quiet the offenders, so i pretty much spent an entire weekend on my vacation with no sleep. I absolutely hated this hotel and would not recommend it to anyone!!

Old Hotel

This is an old hotel. The rooms were clean but somewhat dated. The restraunts were closed. About what I expected for the price.

Small bathroom

As long as you can get along with limited space in the bathroom, the rooms are fine

nice historic hotel, but...

...I had to wait about 20 minutes to check in because they only had one person working the front desk and the woman ahead of me had some sort of strange coupon thing that took them forever to figure out. Plus, the water temperature of the shower was highly variable, and alternated from being scorching to ice cold. Fun.

Historic San carlos is a nice place to stay

Was so surprised in the Hotel San Carlos. Great historic building. Great old timey feeling. Room was small and expected, Esp bathroom. Fun bar down stairs. Restaurant was average. Excellent location to new light rail for phoenix public transport.

Outdated and Inconvenient for Business

The room was small - I had to climb over the bed when my husband made coffee. Bathroom was small and outdated. Seperate faucets for hot and cold water. I requested a Queen bed and they gave us 2 doubles. Not enough towels.

Older Boutique Hotel - rooms are small, bathroom is tiny

I loved the history of the hotel and the artwork in the hallways representing the celebrities of "yesteryear." I was comfortable as a single person in a very small room. If I had been traveling with my partner it would have felt quite cramped. The bathroom is like a tiny closet with no bathtub. Again it is manageable for one person. The room was very nicely furnished and kept clean. The decor was appropriate for the historical nature of the hotel. Hotel service was very good.

Please Update

They need to bring this hotel into the 20 th century. No internet access, pool was closed, inconvenient parking and indifferent staff. Not what I expected.

GREAT VALUE

SIMILAR TO ANY EUROPEAN 3 STAR HOTEL. ONLY DRAWBACK IN MY ROOM WAS AN EXTREMELY SMALL BATHROOM AND SHOWER. NICE ENOUGH TO RETURN ON MY NEXT TRIP.
