Best stay!
This was my first time staying in the city. The reviews were very good and I was not disappointed when seeing for myself. The staff was very friendly, professional and very helpful in every aspect. The room was clean, spacious and even equipped with a kitchenette. The bed was very comfy as well. Wonderful stay and would happily return.

Great Visit, large room and great customer service
We had a great stay. I was out for business and brough my family. The room was big enough for everyone which is great and hard to find in New York. The service was incredible, anything we needed they had, and they were very polite. There was enough room in the hotel room to bring in a rollaway bed when we had a visitor for the day. I highly recommend this hotel

Subpar bedding.
The room was spacious - plenty of places to sit. But there was no sheet on the bed, only a heavy duvet. So the choices were not be covered or be too hot (with AC settings down to the minimum temp). The pillows were lumpy. And ever-so-slightly smelly. Once you smell musty pillows, you can’t unsmell them. The mattress was comfortable, and the desk staff are very friendly. But the pillows, ugh.

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 A little outdated but clean and our room was very quiet, which was nice after long days out in the city.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.
