The room was filthy. The microwave had food splatters, and fridge door had food gunk. Did not microwave after seeing the condition. One towel’s corner was literally shredded with worn. I had to put towels on carpet floor to walk around. Carpet felt so cringe. Only space I was comfortable to touch was bed. Left without even the shower as the whole room felt so dirty, dusty and musty. Probably the worst ever motel I have stayed. Couldn’t give any lower than 1 star

Nice Place but they need to take better care of it

This place needs a lot of work, the staff are friendly place is nice on the outside, but this place needs an upgrade. And a deep clean. As soon as I opened the door the room had a damp feeling, and I instantly knew bugs. Moved the microwave a layer of dust not a big deal but showed the cleaning effort of the place, moved on to the refrigerator and under it as infestation of cockroachs. That too not a big deal but if i was going to stay three nights I would need to treat the room. Went to home depot got some bug treatment and cleaning spray and a tarp to sleep on. Cleaned everything doors bathroom, and table scrubed every nook sprayed should have got a discount for the amount of work i did, but whatever, after the deep clean I felt comfortable enough to sleep and had a very pleasant stay.

Very lovely botique hotel in the middle of a questionable area. Effectively operated, reasonably priced, clean and slightly old-timed if not outdated.

Comfortable, quiet, friendly

I stayed over the Christmas holidays to be near my family. The room was perfectly comfortable, the heater fan was relatively quiet, the microwave oven was handy for me and I loved that they had more TV and FM radio stations through the Comcast cable than fancier hotels. The free WiFi was excellent and the hotel staff was very kind and polite.

San Carlos Inn

This hotel is pretty clean but is very old and could use some updating. Rooms are good size and inclulde a desk and chair. Linens and towels are old but seemed to be clean. Bathroom and shower were clean. Walls are thin. Good cable TV. Ice machine is outside the office and is pretty dirty with mops and cartons stacked to the side.
