It's an old and interestingly historic place that offset some deficiencies. The shower handle was very difficult to use. There was no refrigerator. However, these deficiencies were livable and OK with a good/ lower price.

The check in counter was rude. Not very helpful. It seemed like we were a burden while checking in. The room looks nothing like the photos online and smelled like old mothballs. Thank goodness we’re only here for 1 night.

You’ll every tenant on your floor while trying to sleep, all doors are vented to the hallway. Very dated, especially considering the expense

The idea of old charm seemed nice BUT some things should be updated. The water coming out of the faucets for showering and brushing teeth was brown. There is no fridge or place to keep water that you buy.It smelled as old as it is and the matress is old and extremely uncomfortable. Needless to say after day one of 3 we checked out and went somewhere else.

In general was nice, however some of the pillows on my room smell still to someone else, which was a little bit disgusting. I ask for a pillow replacement, but it never happened.

This is an historic property from the early 20th century so don't expect a Hyatt. But, it was the first hotel in the SW with an elevator, and the first hotel in PHX with air conditioning. Mae West and Clark Gable and who knows else have stayed there. It even has a ghost on the 7th floor. A very interesting place to stay, and a short walk from the convention center and arena.

Quaint old-fashioned (small room - if you're large you might not fit in the bathroom). Uncomfortable bed (lumpy). And some construction or other racket at 4:00am.

Had a wonderful stay at Hotel San Carlos! Excellent choice if you're attending an event at the Footprint Center. Quiet in the hotel room, despite being in the middle of downtown Phoenix. Beautiful hotel!
