Bad to worse
We’ve stayed here before with a good experience previously. Check in was smooth and the room was quiet (was an internal room on the 2nd floor)unlike before thus the 3 stars. We asked to switch rooms upon arrival and were told they were sold out which worked out well as the room was quiet. However things took a downturn when on our last night the largest cockroach I have ever seen was on the wall in our room (I’m not afraid of bugs usually but this mortified me). Upon checkout we reserved a car through the front desk to take us to the airport and while we were ready to leave the car was not there. We ended up taking a Uber to the airport which was fortunate that one was available. While we have enjoyed San Carlos in the past, we will NOT be returning

Good four star hotel in midtown Manhattan
We enjoyed our stay very much. I felt that probably a restricted room service ( say sandwiches, for instance) would enhance our stay. I must say that, despite the aforementioned proviso, we would gladly stay at the San Carlos again

Convenient, quiet and clean
The elite suite has plenty of room. The rooms could use some updating. A little outdated but clean and our room was very quiet, which was nice after long days out in the city. Very convenient to metro, good restaurants & 5th Avenue shopping! The water pressure in our shower on 15th floor needs work. It was very weak. Otherwise good stay for our family of four.

Almost all of staff were very thoughtful and attentive. One of the bellman watched us drag our suitcases down the stairs while chatting with the recptionist. But overall a basic 4 star hotel.

We had a one bedroom king suite, not facing the street. It was very quiet and in a great location with lots of restaurants close by. The room was very clean and we found the little kitchen very helpful. The hotel does need an upgrade though. Our toilet kept plugging which was annoying. I would stay here again though.

Get better windows if you are going to put people on the 3rd floor. Front desk said they were fully sold out which wasn’t true and refused to move me higher up even for one night. Will never be back.
