    Street noise but this is Manhattan

    We enjoyed our stay at San Carlos hotel in midtown manhattan Spacious room for a family of 4 , comfy beds and pillows, excellent daily cleaning, friendly staff. Location is great, within walking distance to everything and very close to the public transport. Safe neighborhood, restaurants and cafe' in the area, close to grand central station

    Good, functional hotel, especially nice if you want an extra bathroom.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Premier Suite with Queen Bed with 1 ½ bath
    • Stayed 7 nights

    The room is tired, but functional. Everything works but the carpet is worn and coming up in places, paint is scraping off, etc. It's an older place. But the main issues we had were the noise, the lack of ability to clean dishes and the curtains did not make the room fully dark--the windows do not shut out noise and the air condition turning on and off all night is also very noisy. There is no dish soap or anything to clean with. We would have appreciated being able to use the dishes more. There are curtains but they are more fancy then functional so they don't fully cover the windows which meant the room had more light than we like. There are no working USB plugs or upgraded plugs for electronics. The alarm clock had and old docking station but that wasn't very useful.

    We appreciated how close to the main museums and the park the hotel was. Our premier suite was spacious with an extra 1/2 bath, a keurig, fridge and microwave. We stayed a week and the keurig was refilled daily. There was also a set of glass dishware that we used almost every day and it was replaced, clean each day. Our daughter stayed on the pull out couch and said it was comfortable. There are two separate air conditioners which made it easy to adjust temps in the bedroom and the living room.

    The decor was slightly dated (nothing significant) but the price was adjusted accordingly.

    We stayed in the junior suite and it was the perfect size for relaxing after a long day of site-seeing. The room was clean and the staff was friendly, accommodating, and helpful. We especially appreciated the efficient daily cleaning staff. The location was also good, walkable and close to public transportation. While close to many attractions, the hotel is quiet, tucked away from excessive street noise.

    This place really works to give you a spacious family room in heart of midtown
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Room with Two Queen Beds
    • Stayed 5 nights

    One tiny issue: the room keycards are very easily de-activated (by contact with phone, other cards etc.) and each time this happened we were advised to throw the old cards away - would be great if the hotel can find a more environmentally-friendly solution as this felt unnecessarily wasteful.

    We absolutely loved our stay - our deluxe room with two queen beds was definitely big enough for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens - all tall!). The beds and room was spacious, and we made good use of the gym, with water refill station to save us buying water. The location in midtown is great, and we did the majority of sightseeing by foot from there. Particular thanks to the really friendly concierge (apologies we didn't get his name, but he had white hair and a really friendly welcome) who made it feel like home every time we returned to the hotel. If you're looking for good value breakfast in the area would recommend Scoop Bagels (7 E 53rd St), which set us up for the day. If wanting a traditional old diner (more expensive) would recommend Murray Hill Diner, which gave us 80s film vibes!
