The hotel and staff are great. It’s a vintage property but well kept. Great location. The only sad part was not having a hot tube or a pool.

Power strip didn’t work - couldn’t charge phones, etc. Old hotel with very few outlets. Very hard pillows, scratchy sheets. Room was clean, shower was nice. Staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. Easy walking distance to several downtown venues for sports and entertainment. Multiple dining options and bars close by also. Much more affordable that other hotels in the immediate vicinity.

Love the historic feel, beds very comfortable. Most of the desk staff were rude when asked questions. Our room window was so dirty, could barely see out in day time. Our room was kept clean & stocked. This could be an amazing hotel with some customer service training & a window cleaning.

I know it’s an older hotel but I was surprised at how thin the walls were. I could hear a kid crying next door & a lady coughing. Lots of hall light coming in under the door at night as well. The staff on the other hand, were absolutely amazing! Extremely helpful & friendly. The room was clean just very dated.

I have stayed at Hotel San Carlos several times. This is an historic old Hotel with tons of history. It is a clean, quiet no frills hotel. Take some time and read the history posted around the hotel. Some of the postings are fairly odd. Rumor has it this hotel is haunted. I never had an encounter! Here is a little bonus. On the third floor is access to a great rooftop patio. This hotel does not have a bar/restaurant inside. There is a fantastic Mexican themed restaurant called Centrico attached to the hotel and a great Irish Pub called Seamus McCaffrey’s next door. The fish fry is exceptional.
