Stayed at the Hotel Beacon on May 19-20th for the New York Gran Fondo bike event because it is close to the race start at the GW bridge. Upon arrival I was told that my bike could not be kept in my room, and the hotel had no storage facility of any kind to store my bike. I was told... More

Their letterhead says "the jewel of New York " and it is absolutely true. We always enjoyed staying here with our sons when they were younger and now that they have renovated the rooms this hotel is better than ever. We always appreciated the residential upper west side location across from the best supermarket in the city (fairway), and a... More

This was a fantastic accommodation for our family of 3. We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite with 2 bathrooms, which was a massive bonus. The staff were fantastic, the hotel is crisp, clean and exceptionally comfortable. There is an easily accessible laundromat in the hotel. We were initially worried that we might be a bit far out but... More

Stayed at the Beacon Hotel for six nights, with four of us in a 1br suite (two rooms, two double beds plus rollaway). Great location very accessible to the subway, Lincoln Centre and Central Park. Just a little less hectic than midtown. Lots of good restaurants nearby in Amsterdam Ave and Columbus Ave. Good rooms, bathroom ok, small kitchen so... More

This is a very good hotel in an excellent location. The rooms have self-catering facilities and with 'Fairways' across the road this was a bonus. The rooms are well-equipped. Not only did we have an oven, microwave and large fridge-freezer, we also had a suite with two massive flat screen TVs and it could easily have accommodated four people. We... More

I stayed here with my family ( 2 adults and 2 teenage children) for 8 nights after seeing all the raving reviews, of which the hotel thoroughly lived up to! perfect location, made great use of supermarket and shops across the road. rooms were very large and clean, staff were very nice too. a great find in new york!

The room was spacious, really good bed, big kitchenette, friendly staff, good location close to an efficient subway station, close to a big market +++. Clean. Only down was that the A/C wasn´t functioning properly, but would probaby have been resolved if we had reported it.

Our family of 4 (including 2 teenage children) stayed at this hotel for a 9 day trip to New York. I echo all the comments about great location and space. Its not a luxury hotel in terms of fittings etc but more than made up for by the luxury of having heaps of room for our family-more like an apartment... More
