    Toilet ran and was a bit loud. Minor frustration. Awkwardly designed kitchen & bathroom, but workable and kitchen a nice bonus

    Great comfy bed, nice view, spacious room, easy check and check out.

    It was not possible to call the front desk to make a change to our reservation. Calls were all routed to a distant call center that couldn't deal with our reservation.

    Excellent location. Kitchenette if a plus.

    There was some construction work going on so no bar or restaurant facilities which would have been good on the first night on arrival as we were tired. The day before our departure we had booked a taxi to the airport with the concierge, fortunately we checked in the morning (with a different concierge) and found our booking hadn’t been recorded even though we had gone through all the details etc.

    We had booked two x 2 bed studio rooms and were upgraded to suites which were lovely, very clean and spacious. Each had a little kitchenette which was a great self catering option especially as there was a supermarket/deli directly across the road. We were 3 minutes walk from the subway which made travelling anywhere really easy. A very friendly nice neighbourhood and friendly staff.who arranged for wine and chocolates in my son’s room for his birthday which was a lovely and much appreciated surprise.

    We really liked staying at the Beacon Hotel! The proximity to so many great restaurants, bars and theatres; as well as to Central Park make its location incredible. The surrounding area is quiet, clean and rather orderly. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

    The bathroom was tiny and the bathroom furniture tired and dated. The kitchenette area was a bonus as it was fine to use for making a cup of tea. However, it was tiny and the worktop area is effectively out of use as there was a large fridge blocking it.

    Staff were excellent at all times. They were always on hand to answer questions and were very helpful. In effect, we had one bedroom with two double beds and a lounge area with a sofa bed. This meant that there was lots of room. Location was great as very close to a sub way station. It was only a short walk to Central Park.

    Bathroom was small and tired. Basin and toilet had cracks and had seen better days. The corridors were a bit grubby and could do with smartening up.

    Helpful and friendly staff. Loved the kitchenette, size of bedroom and access to subway.

    The heater controls didn’t work in the room and it didn’t get fixed even though we reported it. So we were too hot at night. And the door was missing on the freezer compartment of the refrigerator so some of our food froze and had to be throw away.

    A lovely hotel in a beautiful part of the city. Only two minutes walk to the subway. The staff were great and we felt very at home. We had a room with a small kitchen so the mini market over the road was very well positioned and we could keep down the cost of eating out. The rooms were really clean and the huge bed was very comfortable. I’d definitely stay again.

    Very responsive to requests. The room we were given was exceptional and we will ask for it every time we return. The location is perfect...just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of midtown but close enough to everything via 72nd St subway or easy walking.

    There is nothing I didn't like, other than the traffic getting across town from the east to get to the hotel.

    All of the staff were very friendly and sincere. The location lends itself easy access to subway, food, and stores.

    The faucet leaked and it took the shower 10 minutes to get lukewarm. From a practical point of view: when we just arrived we were told Fairway is the best supermarket to go, but Trader Joe's is right down the street: cleaner, much more options, oversight and more reasonable prices.

    Location is amazing, and the hotel was clean and spacious. Welcome by the personnel was also very friendly, and further contact at any other time too. Staff was ready to help at any time, e.g. calling a cab or neighborhoodadvice. Great beds! We were situated streetside and noticed windows nicely isolated the streetnoise. View of the buildings across the street was mesmerizing, as was the dancers practising the danceschool we could see across the street (see attached pictures)
