I chose the San Carlos because of the location, reviews and value...and was not disappointed. The staff are incredibly personable and friendly, the rooms large, and great location in mid town. I've stayed in many hotels in NYC, and prefer this location to the hustle of Times Square and proximity to many restaurants/markets. The 1 BR suite is enormous, clean... more

The San Carlos proved to be an excellent choice! The rooms are clean, large (two queen beds) and the bathrooms are modern. Our room had a fridge, microwave and utensils. The location is ideal - across the the street from the Benjamin and Waldolf Astoria. I should also add I never heard any street noise. I would be hard pressed... more

My husband and I usually stay at the Elysee Hotel but the rates were well over $400 per room for this week. Hubby was in NYC for business and I tagged along. Friends on Trip Advisor recommended the San Carlos over the Affinia 50 for a "suites hotel". We got a nonrefundable rate of $310 per night for an "Executive... more

This is our third time staying at the San Carlos, and it was pleasant, as always. We had one room, with two nice beds (no view). The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff is just great. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The free breakfast is a nice touch, but the food is very mediocre--various breads that don't seem... more

I was booked into the Bedford on East 40th, but they over booked & sent us to the San Carlos which is in the same ownership as the Bedford. What a delight. Great beds with either two doubles or queen (i forget) soft pillows, breakfast included. Eating places everywhere (par for N York), pleasant staff including the owner. Recommended. Would... more

Stayed for 8 nights recently and was not disappointed. We got a great rate through the hotels website for an executive suite. Ample room for 2 people. Kingsize bed comfortable. The housekeeping service was fantastic, they kept that room spotless everyday. Rooms were quiet, aircon worked beautifully. Wifi bonus.The cable tv was a bit dissappointing, an upgrade to a few... more

Great location close to main sights. Good room including large separate sitting area where the kids slept. Good value without being exciting but also without disappointment. Breakfast included but is basic but really all you need. Feels a bit cheap with plastic plates, cutlery etc. A 3/4* but generally good value. more

I found many things to like at the San Carlos. It is the rare NYC hotel that has "double-bedded" rooms with two QUEEN beds. Most hotels only offer a single king or queen bed and those that have two beds only have the smaller, double-sized beds. Wifi was recently installed in the guest rooms and it worked extremely well. We... more

Second trip to the San Carlos. This time, we stayed 4 nights in a suite. Not cheap, of course, but we needed two beds and a couch, and having a separate living room is a real plus. The service is, I would guess, as good as you would get spending $900 a night rather than $275 plus tax. The rooms... more
