Rough Guide
"To appreciate this historic very central 1920s hotel, you have to be the kind of traveller who positively prefers an old fashioned, frazzled and often noisy downtown hotel."
Michelin Guide
"A yellow-brick downtown classic since 1928, the San Carlos is an historic anomaly in a region of spa resorts and golf haciendas."
Gayot
"Set in the Copper Square district of downtown Phoenix, this hotel is a reminder of a different era."
DK Eyewitness
"This historic hotel is full of character and charm. Despite some small rooms, it's priced right and filled with nostalgia."
Lonely Planet
"A historic property in the heart of downtown Phoenix, this 1928 gem sports smallish but clean rooms, friendly staff and lots of old-school charm."
