Pros +
- the location was perfect and the hospitality of the staff.
- After staying at a chic but impractical hotel in the Meatpacking District, it was nice to come to the San Carlos Hotel -- a hotel for adults rather than hipsters. Friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, and bathroom with a door rather than glass (!)
- Staff is great as is the location and it’s very clean
Cons -
- the room we had was next to another building that had no view.
- Adjacent room played loud music at night, hotel addressed.
- dirty bathrobe - vanity too small for two occupants - creaking floorboards

location, fast elevators, nice room for NYC and overall quiet room.

courteous friendly staff
dirty bathrobe - vanity too small for two occupants - creaking floorboards
The service and location were great. I especially liked the access to First and Second Avenue
I did not think that the hotel merits 4.5 star rating. I think the condition of the hotel and lack of bar or restaurant would merit 4 star at best.
Just a very complete and nice classic "old school" NYC type hotel with modern rooms and a great staff. Great fitness cenetr too.
No, everything was really good.
Large room, easy access to the subway and central location, but away from the Midtown hubbub. Staff helpful and friendly. No fragrance in the cleansers. Relatively quiet street. One of the few times that there wasn't a single annoying thing to note.
The frornt desk clerk was friendly and helpful
Room was dated and worn down. Shower did not drain well
Very clean, very polite and helpful staff, fast elevators.
TV was a bit small, if I'm being picky.
House keeper Excellent
EXTRA CHARGES checking in & out . Shuttle to airport $75 SHOULD be free service from hotel or at least tell you before sitting in car. No advice on what to see & where places are.
The location is great with lot of restaurants around. Well maintained and clean.
This is a very well managed place, with a very professional and friendly staff!
Location, price.
Staff was wonderful. Quiet rooms and clean.
