I love this hotel. I have stayed her many times in the past couple of years and have always had a good experience. The staff goes above and beyond, including the restaurant and room service staff. Leif, the front desk staff, and the bellman have always been extremely helpful as well.

Every Christmas we visit the city for a holiday weekend with friends and this was our 3rd year staying at the Beacon Grand. Everyone is so nice, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect. We’re already looking forward to next year’s trip!

Will never return
We had reserved a high floor room with a view of union square but our only view was of the HVAC system on the roof. The front desk staff was incredibly not helpful nor friendly. The bartender was even worse, rude is an understatement. The best employees at this hotel were the bellhop and valet. Those guys are awesome. The rest of the staff should take notes from them.

To stay self is all right I find it atrocious to pay so much to basically stay in a small tiny bedroom. They also did not let us know ahead of time that there would be a strike on going from 7 AM to 10 PM daily and that was super inconvenient and I don’t feel like they comped us enough for the lack of sleep.

The room was next to another building which was incredibly noisy due to the AC units running on the rooftop. A clanking sound throughout the entire night could be heard. I arrived late and had to be up at 4:40 in the morning which was absolutely horrible. I must have gotten 2 hours of sleep due to the outdoor noise and the clanking coming from the floor above. I stayed in the fifth floor in room 537 so be aware of the noise. Aside from that, no complaints about the cleanliness or the staff. The lobby and bar were very nice.
