Quaint & Enjoyable Stay
Chelsea at the reception desk was delightful. I always enjoy staying at historic hotels. They remind me of stays in Europe. Room was clean and quiet. Not having my own room thermostat was a little disconcerting at first, but not a problem.

This hotel has a television from like the 1970s. The furniture is also from that same era. If you’d like nostalgic, then you’re gonna love the hotel San Carlos. You’ll also be greeted by memorabilia on the walls of ghost sightings and of famous people who have stayed there over the last hundred years. Marilyn Monroe was one and if they would fill the pool, it would really feel like a Renaissance hotel.

Eh, will not be back again.
Shower was terrible, near scalding water would come on when you’re in middle of showering, and shower knob was so difficult to turn on. No thermostat in room.

Hotel has character and is well situated for downtown Phoenix and the convention centre. Rooms were comfortable, but wifi connection was poor. Centrico Mexican restaurant attached to this hotel is excellent - totally recommend.

Good not great. Nice place if the timing is right
The staff was fantastic and it’s in a convenient area. It is clean and interesting being an Historic hotel. Rooms are small but not too small. At least in my room, there was no temp control at all. You get a ceiling fan and a vent blowing whatever temp air the hotel thinks you need. I was a little warm but not terrible. But because of this I would not stay here In summer or even if it was supposed to be hot. My stay was in January.

Had a wonderful stay at Hotel San Carlos! Excellent choice if you're attending an event at the Footprint Center. Quiet in the hotel room, despite being in the middle of downtown Phoenix. Beautiful hotel!

Historic hotel is good for short vacations
It's an interesting, old hotel, but not good for long stays or business travel. The wifi was so weak I had to find somewhere else to conduct my work because it kept cutting out. There was also a lack of working outlets for charging my devices. In the bathroom, the high-amp outlet for the hair dryer was above the medicine cabinet, and I had to stand on the toilet to reach it (I'm 5'3"). Finally, there isn't temperature control in each room- mine was warm enough that I found it difficult to sleep and the only temperature moderator was a ceiling fan.
