Quaint older building. Not exactly dirty, not spotless but with lots of character. No thermostat for AC but the room was comfortable. Shower spikes to scalding every 3 - 5 minutes., maybe when someone flushes a toilet in the motel. Overall a cool place to stay. WIFI is worthless. Can not even download your email. Staff said the motel was full causing the problem. Problem is antiquated set up. Each floor has a different SSID. If you need to do any business online, this is not going to work for you.

What it is: clean, friendly and helpful staff, old (including the bathroom fixtures, furniture, etc), stocked with the basics What is isn't: luxury hotel, haunted (I didn't even know the story until my last night there)

The hotel is conveniently located. However, the internet is unreliable. While there is Wi-Fi on each floor, the signal is very weak and often disconnects. I asked the reception about this, and they explained that it’s due to the high occupancy of the hotel.

Quaint old-fashioned (small room - if you're large you might not fit in the bathroom). Uncomfortable bed (lumpy). And some construction or other racket at 4:00am.

Had a wonderful stay at Hotel San Carlos! Excellent choice if you're attending an event at the Footprint Center. Quiet in the hotel room, despite being in the middle of downtown Phoenix. Beautiful hotel!

There were no thermostats in the rooms. The temperature you get - is what you get. The pool was closed, they didn't inform any of us that this was going to be the circumstance. Very poor judgment considering the temperatures for the week were over 105 degrees and no thermostats in the rooms. This made it a very hot and not able to enjoy. The rooms were extremely clean though. The old building did have some charm.

The pictures are deceitful. This building is old, not updated, hot water scalds when a toilet is flushed anywhere near your room, musky smelling, ac doesn’t work, tvs don’t work, and evidently has a reputation. Would not recommend.
