Great history and location for an overnight on St. Patrick’s Day!

Tammila, United States of America

Location in the heart of Phoenix. Close to what is there. History of the Hotel was cool. Bed is comfortable.

Dean, United States of America

This is a historic hotel, so don’t expect modern or fancy amenities. However, everything worked great and the room was very comfortable. We did this as a “staycation” and will do it again. The hotel is within easy walking distance to everything in downtown Phoenix.

Samuel, United States of America

Location was perfect fro downtown Phoenix. Rooms were clean a tad small.

Mark, United States of America

Mary, United States of America

I love the San Carlos Hotel history! I love the rooftop pool. I love the halls. I love the information and art on the walls.

Suzanne, United States of America

The first room was not great so I asked for another which I got. The staff was accommodating, friendly, informative, helpful, and available. Cecy especially was wonderful There was also a young man with an accent working Wednesday afternoon who gave me directions back to the hotel from the literail. He was very nice and very helpful! When I go to the hotel we laughed about my lack of sense of direction!!

Kathryn, United States of America

The feel of the hotel is old and reaches back to a different era which we loved. The outdoor pool on the third floor was also very exciting for our daughter especially at night. Super friendly and attentive staff. I read another review before we booked that said it was haunted but nothing exciting to report. All in all great location, great staff, and we’ll probably return in the future.

Unexpected Hot shower, no power plugs and the power strip would not hold a plug. Very thin walls you can hear everything. Furniture is old and beat up. Central air conditioning so not very good on hot days.

Staff told us it was handicap accessible. There was a walk in shower. No grab barsa and the promised chair to surround the toilet to raise it and supply grab bars was not available as told by staff. Staff was slow in completing tasks at front desk when we arrived late from va delayed flight. Water temperature could not be regulated in shower. Went from freezing cold to extreme hot, then back and forth making use impossible.
Location was perfect fro downtown Phoenix. Rooms were clean a tad small.

“Convenient location and full of character, but a little too pricey”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Queen Room with City View
- • Stayed 1 night
The hotel put bottles of water in the room - but charges $2 each, even though there was a free filtered water dispenser down the hall next to the ice machine. That exorbitant price felt very tacky and gouge-y, considering the room rate. The water temperature was erratic: it was fine in the morning but when we tried to take a shower after we checked in it barely got lukewarm. The history of the hotel is charming, but the rooms feel a tad dated. Parking is 20$/day extra.
The restaurant in the hotel had a great breakfast. The history of the place was fascinating. The location was very central and convenient. The pool is nice.
