This was a great hotel stay for our family of 5. Short walk (10 minutes) to Rockefeller Center, 5th Avenue, 20 minutes to bottom edge of Central Park, short walk to a subway station. Good restaurants across the street, around the corner, and a short walk away! Perfect location for our trip to explore the city.

Great Family Hotel

Perfect place to stay in NYC! We were able to walk to so many iconic places and just a short subway ride to other locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. It was a great space for a family of 5 to rest and relax after seeing the sights! The staff was so friendly and accommodating! Would definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable in great location

Very nice hotel in a great location in NYC. This was our first time to NYC so I didn’t have anything to compare it to. But the staff was very nice and the room was clean and comfortable.

Great for a family who wants a bit of extra room

The San Carlos Hotel was fantastic for our family of three. We live in a rural area and enjoy a bit of space, especially our teen daughter who reports that we snore. We stayed half of a week long trip to NYC in an Airbnb in New Jersey and half at SCH…I wish we would have stayed the whole week at SCH. We stayed in a Queen suite… we had a Queen bed with a door between that and the sofa bed (which my daughter said was very comfy)/ living area. There was a good amount of space and while the decor and some of the furnishings may be a bit dated it was clean and convenient to good food, the subway, and sights. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Great job!

GREAT EXPERIENCE

Our experience was great. The location is excellent and San Carlos is a very nice and clean hotel. I suggest that there could have more plates and glasses because we were 3 people and only have 2 pieces of each.

Friend Trip

4 friends rented 2 rooms for 4 sleeps! The hotel has a great location in Midtown. Walking distance to Grand Central Terminal, breakfast options and late night dinner spots. We could’ve walked more but it was summer hot so we cabbed it- and eventually learned how to navigate the subway. We all appreciated the hotel and would definitely stay again. One improvement would be 2 beds in our rooms instead of 1 to share. The rooms are a good size and have refrigerators for drinks and leftovers.

OK not impressed

The best things about this hotel are the cleanliness and the comfortable beds. It advertises an on-site restaurant but we never found it open. I think it serves Indian food. I assumed with saying there was a restaurant on-site we would be able to get a morning coffee. I asked the front desk about that when we checked in but was told we had to go out to get coffee so we went to Starbucks every morning. Upon arrival, our tv was not working. We had to call the front desk for that, but they quickly fixed it. The bathroom sink was very slow to drain...not what I expected to find at this hotel. Finally, this is just my personal preference but I like staying a little closer to Fifth Avenue, which I find is a more convenient location for what we like to do.
