2 night stay
Check in process seemed time consuming. Someone else was checking in ahead of us and someone waiting behind us with only one person at front desk. Room was clean, but a little tired (dated). Room was quiet.

Location, location, location.
We found the location to be excellent - very easy access to several different subway stops and an easy walk to anyplace midtown but just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be quiet and quite pleasant. Our room faced the interior and was very quiet. The room was wonderfully spacious which we very much appreciated. All in all an excellent place at a decent value.

A Midtown Jewel
We really enjoy staying at the San Carlos. This was our 5th time and once again we were very pleased with our room and the hotel. We see no reason to stay anywhere else when visiting New York.

Best stay!
This was my first time staying in the city. The reviews were very good and I was not disappointed when seeing for myself. The staff was very friendly, professional and very helpful in every aspect. The room was clean, spacious and even equipped with a kitchenette. The bed was very comfy as well. Wonderful stay and would happily return.

Great Visit, large room and great customer service
We had a great stay. I was out for business and brough my family. The room was big enough for everyone which is great and hard to find in New York. The service was incredible, anything we needed they had, and they were very polite. There was enough room in the hotel room to bring in a rollaway bed when we had a visitor for the day. I highly recommend this hotel

Subpar bedding.
The room was spacious - plenty of places to sit. But there was no sheet on the bed, only a heavy duvet. So the choices were not be covered or be too hot (with AC settings down to the minimum temp). The pillows were lumpy. And ever-so-slightly smelly. Once you smell musty pillows, you can’t unsmell them. The mattress was comfortable, and the desk staff are very friendly. But the pillows, ugh.
