The room is small but cozy. The location is excellent. It is in the city center and close to basketball games. There are many restaurants downstairs.

It's really not that big, and the fee is deducted blindly, and the room can't take a shower

Great location. The staff are friendly. The bed is good, but the bathroom and room are a bit outdated. There is no refrigerator, which is a bit inconvenient.

This is one of most fascinating historic time fragments in the city of Phoenix. It currently not only serves as an active and convenient working hotel, with in-house eateries, but brings the nostalgia of the Roaring Twenties Phoenix to life with its décor, architecture and its Art Deco/Italian Renaissance façade and interior, as well as its legends. San Carlos has been listed with the National Register of Historic Places since 1983. Restaurants Centrico and Seamus McAffrey’s are there to quench your appetite and hunger, not to mention your seen and be seen entertainment. It’s rooftop gives way to some unparalleled views of the city. The restoration over many years has rendered it worthy of its day of origin. Whether your there for some eats, passing by, ghost hunting or staying at it, take some time to absorb its richness and contemporary aura. This wonderful structure is a must visit while in Phoenix.

Beautiful hotel! So much history and charm. I came to stay at room 720, and I was not disappointed. It exceeded my expectations in every way and I had a great, truly unforgettable experience. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Yes the hotel is old, but that’s exactly its appeal and renovating it would absolutely diminish its character. It’s great just as it is. The only negative is that it does not have parking. However, there are plenty of public parking garages in walking distance (just around the block). It’s a lively part of downtown Phoenix, with tons of restaurants and safe to walk around.

I was here in 2022 and the pool was closed for renovations. I just tried to book in 2025 and the pool is still closed for renovations. I have a feeling that the pool will always be closed for renovation. Word of warning. Otherwise it's a nice place.

The staff is great, very friendly and helpful. 2 restaurants are attached to the hotel, a great Mexican that has street level outside seating and an Irish bar/restaurant that is fun and festive. BUT - the hotel is old and tired, with plumbing that dates back about 100 years, limited room size, and walls/carpets that could use a good refreshing. The historical photos and news stories in the halls are a treat
