Good location
Location is amazing. Everything else is meh. Heating wasn’t working for first three nights. Linens were scratchy. Some front desk people were helpful, others were absolutely not. Frustrating stay.

Perfect size for families
We love the Hotel Beacon – it is in the heart of the Upper West Side, convenient to many museums and Central Park, and the neighborhood has lots of dining options. Having Fairway Market across the street means you can get anything you need or may have forgotten.
We stayed in a one-bedroom suite which is perfect for families needing space and privacy.

Poor internet
Everything was good except the internet. We inquired once and they said they would reset the router on our floor but it didn’t seem to resolve the issue

Perfect getaway
Great stay at Hotel Beacon, the room was spacious and clean. Quiet and comfortable, we would definitely stay here again. It was nice to walk to Central Park and through the area without the usual congestion of NYC.

Amazing View, Great Stay!
We picked this hotel because it was next to the Beacon theater, which we saw a show at. Extremely convenient in fact, probably the most convenient hotel for the theater. The view we had was spectacular in room 2012. Great one night stay.
