The San Carlos was a great find. The larger two-room units with 2 bathrooms were perfect for my family. The hotel staff were both extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Lastly, the hotel's location was great. Close to subways, but in a less busy part of town. Still close to most attractions we wanted to see.

We had a wonderful stay at the San Carlos hotel for our first trip to NYC. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the room was incredibly spacious, especially for New York, and it was cleaned every day to a high standard. It is the perfect location for exploring Manhattan, only a short walk to 5th Avenue but not too close to all the noise. Some of the decor is a little tired, but everything worked, including the much needed air con. Bobby the concierge was so helpful on our last day, arranging a car to the airport and helping us with our bags. I will definitely come back to the San Carlos hotel next time I am in NYC!

The staff was efficient. Room was clean. The location is convenient to the subway. A pleasant stay. However, on the final day of the trip, my sister had a stomach bug; in our haste checking out my mother left a modest piece of heirloom jewelry on the tray in the bathroom. We alerted the hotel & were met with a brisk response. When we circled back in the person, we were dismayed with the front desk clerk’s apathetic dismissal. She literally did not permit me to finish my sentence when I attempted to leave a description of the necklace + contact information for the reward. The necklace was a small gold pendant that is irreplaceable due to sentimental reasons. A modicum of interest or compassion would have ended the trip on a better note.  PS When we requested a late checkout to accommodate my sick sister, they said someone was checking into the room. Having to change our flights & extend the trip one more night, we moved across the street to the 50 Sonesta. We were blown away by how much more chic, modern, and comfortable it was compared to the San Carlos.

Impeccable service, comfortable bedding and perfect location for a NYC basecamp which served our city vacation needs. Plenty of good eateries nearby including French bistros and wine bars. It is located across the street from Empire Steakhouse where we had a delicious lunch. Terrific maître d' and waitstaff. The Smith and La Pecora Bianca were also delightful restaurants for our 6 day stay. We walked from the San Carlos to the theater district and took in a couple of Broadway shows. 25 minutes of city walking which we prefer.

It is an older Hotel" but has lots of charm. The staff was awesome and attentive and accommodating throughout our stay. A Girls Trip Visit. I would choose The San Carlos Again for that friendly atmosphere. Andy and the tall Bell Man were so nice and helpful. The hotel is in the middle of all points of interest with a wonderful steak house restaurant across the street, safe and clean area

My family and I found the staff at this hotel to be excellent, polite and responsive. The hotel is near to our favorite restaurants and places we wanted to go. The suite was spacious and clean with excellent internet and comfortable beds. We would have given this property 5 stars BUT we had 1 major problem which caused us to give it a 3 star rating. The AC unit in the bedroom was loud and sounded like a truck was driving in the room! The noise impacted our sleep and made our stay very unpleasant. We were told they did not have enough rooms to switch us. Thankfully we had our noise cancelling earphones which helped reduce the noise. Because of this 1 negative issue with what would normally be an excellent suite, I do not think we will be returning to this hotel and we cannot recommend a stay there to our many friends who ask us for travel advice.
