The only major hotel in San Carlos is the 146 room Best Western Apache Gold Hotel, on San Carlos Avenue, south of the town center. This has two restaurants on-site, a cocktail lounge, a large outdoor pool (closed until early 2008 for renovations), sundeck, children's playground, beauty shop and plenty of parking. The hotel is part of a larger complex that includes a casino and 60 site RV park; all have a desert setting surrounded by palm trees and with views over cactus plains towards distant mountains.
