The general proposal from Hotel Beacon is well balanced. For the kind of trip -8+ days stay, leisure- it felt like home, which is something super valuable in a big city like NY. Great sleep, big room, clean and everything works. No fuzz with shower temperature, great towels. A/C reliable. Elevators work, no waits even with high occupancy. All staff is super warm and eager to help, respond. It's the same faces, after a couple of days they get to know you. Seasoned staff that know their trade, no robots, human beings. No gigantic, impersonal lobby or infinite services (that don't work as well as the grandeur they promote). Hotel Beacon offers a well adjusted set of services that work well. No minibar but a kitchenette with a real refrigerator with freezer, just go across the street and buy whatever you'd like to have there. Toaster, capsule coffee machine, DIY! I will return and will also recommend it. Thanks, HB, for this exceptional experience!

Nothing in particular. There was no magnifying mirror (that we didn't require, we don't have it at home) but I am sure they would have provided it if we asked... Being an aged building I had doubts about maintenance, the photos looked saturated but, let me tell you, the reality is better than the pictures they publish, the hotel is perfectly well maintained, up-to-date, it's simple, nothing fancy, just works, it's clean and welcoming. Another doubt I had is always rugs... stains, smell of cleaning products. Nothing, just super clean and well kept. Perfect.

This was a lovely hotel very close to the Grand Canyon National Park. The Grand hotel was charming with a nice lobby with water, coffee, cookies. They had daily happy hour with appetizers and drinks. There was also a gym and pool, but we did not visit those facilities.

Everything was beyond what we expected, it would be nice to have some fruits in the lobby instead or in addition to cookies since fruit were very difficult to find during our trip to National Parks.

Great location. Close to everything, but back slightly off the main road so it wasn’t loud! Very clean. Great breakfast

The pool is small. However, it wasn't over crowded so it made it ok.

The parking spots we’re very small. Several of the guests had large trucks, taking up more than their allotted space. I was the last renter to return on Saturday night and experienced great difficulty trying to park my vehicle.

The pool outside my window is an eyesore and the window, if I had wanted to open it, couldn’t be opened because the screen was badly ripped.
