"Considering that Hotel San Carolos is an historic hotel, it stands to reason that the property might be called "dated" which adds to its character. Friendly staff. Parking is available (and affordable) just around the corner from the hotel in a city parking garage. Plenty of eateries and pubs within easy walking distance. Close to the Phoenix Convention Center. If you stay here, take the time to notice some of the stars who made this their destination in days gone by, and the stories and news items that are framed on the hallway walls."
