This is a great hotel that is close to everything. The only thing that would have been better is if they provided their own parking.

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.

Liked: Staff & service
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 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.

My only concern is the $25 dollar incidental fee and when will it be added back to the card on file. Other than that the stay was amazing.
