Lady Ga Ga concert
The hotel was very nice. The beds were very very comfortable! The only real complaint was the water temperature changing while you showered, they did have a notice in the shower. I would stay there again.

Quaint
location was great, right in the middle of the city. It was a nice place but room was real small, barely fit two queen beds. Nice view but was dominated by much bigger buildings. Had some problems because the walls were paper thin, you can hear people on either side of you. If you'd like a step back into history this is the place to be. Valet parking only, parking was 20 dollars per day. Luckily we were there on the weekend and it was free on this day.

Historic, but Noisy!
The hotel was very unique and belonged on the Historic Register, but it was very noisy. We had a hard time sleeping. Close to everything so we could walk to shopping, eating, the convention center, the theater.

Hotel San Carlos...look elsewhere
is hotel is nothing like presented online. Postage stamp rooms, linens felt like they were from the 80's, the window curtains don't cover the windows, the bathrooms are no larger than a small closet with what appeared to be 1940's plumbing that would not shut off. We wound up eating the non-refundable rate and getting a room at a Mariott property down the street. I do not recommend at all...

Right in the heart of Downtown Phoenix
We were in town to visit our son; we selected this hotel because it was just a short walk to the ASU Downtown Campus. The Light Rail was right near the hotel, very inexpensive and convenient. The hotel is old, but classic. We read other reviews about the noise, but that was not a problem during our Thurs-Sunday stay. There is minimal nightlife around the hotel; the Arizona Center is close by for movies, meals and window shopping; be aware… all the restaurants stop serving food at 10 pm.One minor problem at check-in, the hotel could not find our reservation from [...], thankfully, I brought along the e-mail confirmation. Not sure who was at fault~~~~~the hotel or [...], either way, it took us 30-40 minutes to check in, but it all got straightened out.

The Best Description is Funky
A thoroughly enjoyable small hotel. When you walk into the lobby you feel transported back to 1929. Rooms are certainly smaller than a Hilton or Hyatt's but they are not miniscule. There is a writing desk, a small corner table and chair and a very comfortable bed. I got a great night's sleep. It is right down town, within easy walking distance to the convention center, the baseball park and the basketball arena and a shopping center. There are several good restaurants around it, including a good Irish pub. The front desk was very helpful, especially since I made the reservation through [...] and [...] screwed up and did not forward the reservation to the hotel. [...], on the front desk, spent a lot of time getting hold of [...] to rectify the situation.For a downtown hotel, the price was more than reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone.
