NYC hotels tend to be overpriced but The Beacon offered a surprisingly nice 2 room suite for less than most hotels of lesser quality charged for a regular room. The suite was clean, modern (flat screen TV, internet, etc) and even had a small kitchen area. Note that the hotel is on the Upper West Side so one needs to... more

Hard to fault. The Beacon is a good quality, well located, 4 star property in mid town NYC. The price was reasonable and the rooms very clean and of a high quality. The staff were very hands off (which I actually like), but if you want hotel employees tending you hand and foot, go elsewhere. Only two small gripes. The... more

I stayed here for one night recently because my sister got married in Central Park. The hotel let us check in early so that we could have time to prepare for the wedding. They were also able to give us all of our rooms on the same floor. The room was very clean, comfortable, and had great views of the... more

It's right opposite Fairways on Broadway, where you can buy breakfast and eat in the evening. The room was divided into a sleeping and living area with a tiny kitchen with a fridge and gas cooker. (It was probably two rooms in the past.) They had to fix the gas cooker for us, so they gave us a bottle of... more

I guess I missed the fine print somewhere; you have to pay $9.95 a day to access the internet. The other hotel I was considering for an 8 night business trip offered free internet. Plus they did renovate the rooms, but the bathroom is a joke; the door hits the toilet when you try to open it so they carved... more

I stayed for 8 nights at Hotel Beacon last month. I chose it based on high ratings with Trip Advisor and also recommendations from two different friends. It was great, an absolute gem on the Upper West Side. I don't like to eat out often when I travel alone, so I loved having a little kitchenette -- and right across... more

We arrived in New York on a wet night in late April 2009 after a long flight from Melbourne Australia and approached the front desk of the Beacon with some trpidation; afterall we had read all the horror stories about hotel rooms in New York. But WOW what a surprise; we were greeted by a cheerful receptionist who quickly organised... more

Stayed at the Beacon for six nights to attend my daughter's graduation from Columbia Law. It was everything the positive reviews have claimed, and more. Our king size bed was incredibly comfortable, which I really appreciated. Having a kitchenette was a huge plus. And the location was perfect; we were able to walk to lots of midtown sights, while enjoying... more
