We (family of 3 with an 18 year old daughter) stayed in San Carlos in July 2008. Chose it because of a special deal that gave 3rd night free for a 3 day suite booking and of course because of the positive views here in the Tripadvisor. However, I must say San Carlos didn't meet the high expectations set by... more

The location of the hotel was fantastic, near a metro station in Middletown East. We were from a walking distance of the UN, Time Square, Rockerfeller Center, Empire State Building, 5th Avenue, etc. The room we got was not great. We were on the first floor and we had view on the ventilation exit. So, no direct light in the... more

This was our sixth time in NY, but our first time at the San Carlos. As we were four adults travelling, we took advantage of the third night free offer on suites at the San Carlos which gave us quite a saving over two separate rooms. The suite we had was great with a very large sitting room. The staff... more

A lovely hotel in a great location. I fell in love with the shower -- super-hot water and powerful shower head made me feel like I'd had a spa treatment every time I took a shower! The hotel was really pretty quiet, too. I didn't much care for the continental breakfast, as the pickings were slim and some of the... more

Stayed 5 nights here at end of May, could not fault the hotel in any way. After reading previous reviews on Tripadvisor we upgraded our room to an executive suite, which was well worth it. Some commented on the tiredness of the rooms but we have to disagree as ours was really nice. We were on 6th floor so could... more

My husband, daughter and I stayed at the San Carlos for 4 days, 3 nights. Got a deal on a 1 bedroom suite with sofabed. We paid for 2 nights and got 3rd night free. Hotel was attractive and staff was friendly. We stayed on the 3rd floor so we had a slight problem with outside noise at night. more

I've been to NYC many times but never stayed the night- read many reviews and San Carlos Hotel was the only one which had great reviews on TripAdvisor. Hotel lived up to every expectation! Clean room, large, we got a free upgrade to an executive suite. Staff was wonderful and humorous- they even advised me that the miny bar was... more

My husband and I spent 5 nights at the San Carlos and enjoyed our stay very much. The room was well-appointed and larger than most New York hotel rooms. The only thing lacking in the room was a comfortable chair. The bathroom was a good size and toiletries and terry bathrobes were provided. Everyone on the staff was helpful and... more

I stayed at the San Carlos Hotel for business in November 2007. I found the service exceptional, the room price high (it was over the holiday season), and the breakfast satisfactory. My room had a small kitchenette, which had I been traveling on vacation, perhaps I would have used, but being on a business trip, I only walked by in... more
