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 (Wickinup Buffet and Apache Grill, both open all day), a cocktail lounge, a large outdoor pool, sundeck, children's playground, beauty shop and plenty of parking. The hotel was renovated in 2010 and 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 the distant Gila Mountains.
