For the location, and overall experience, would give it a 5 star. Rooms definitely smaller than what we are used too but considering the time period of the hotel, probably not unexpected. Had to sit sideways on toilet in order to fit. Im just over 6 ft and about 240, to give perspective. Room was clean and unique. Stayed in similar hotel in Seattle, and this was a far better experience. Restaurant and bar were rather expensive but convenient. Pricing similar to downtown Chicago. Overall, being transported back to 1928 was a pleasant experience and worth the price of admission. Would definitely recommend to any friends going to San Francisco.
A 7 night business trip to SF was booked at a big chain hotel. It was loud and impersonal- nothing special. However, I stumbled into the Beacon, and was greeted by the amazing hospitality offered by Leif who showed me my alt options- I instantly cancelled and stayed all week! What a great choice- this is my new SF 'home.' gorgeous renovation, artistic, special, beautiful history, and detail with a warm and chic vibe. Every single employee demonstrated service, care and warmth. Now, I won't stay anywhere else and can't wait to return! The bar is fabulous, with experienced and accommodating bartenders Henry and Anson and Greg, the whisky library expert. Be sure to check out the gorgeous murals and ceilings. Nothing I would change. Love the staff and can't wait to see them all again!…
Clean beautiful great location highly recommend! The staff was exceptional and gave fantastic food recommendations. We didn’t know what to expect because the room had two queen size beds for under $300. We were blown away- it was BEAUTIFUL! This is a true gem with excellent customer service. It is also 100 years old and beautiful restored building.
I travel to SF often and have found The Beacon Grand to be a wonderful hotel. The staff is very friendly and the food is outstanding. Great location; easy to get anywher. I will stay there whenever I visit.
It was wonderful! We had such a great time. The rooms and the whole hotel experience was great. I would stay again when in san Francisco. The place was close to everything downtown. We visited almost every place close by.
The entire staff from the front desk, to the bell man and car parking were excellent. The location by Union Square was perfect especially across the street from Sears Restaurant. The bathroom was too tight as was the very limited closet space. My second stay and will be back.
This was such a fun and unique hotel stay downtown for our honeymoon. We loved the historic charm of the rooms and lobby. Friendly staff and great drinks. This is the perfect location downtown! It felt very centralized to the activities we wanted to do and felt very safe. Our favorite part about the hotel was the library nook where we sat and had drinks. We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet the traffic and night life was despite it being right in the heart of union square. We had a great time and would stay again!
great place to stay in S.F. near so much shopping and restaurants! the drinks at the bar are also good! I recommend the spicy margarita! check in was easy, the elevators are old and creaky which is the best part! also the GYM is nice!
Loved it. Will definitely stay again next time I am in the city and refer friends as well. We were able to get to and from the hotel with ease. The location is so great! I highly recommend getting a room here if you are planning on being out and about in the city.
We loved the staff and the property! Leif, Emma & Meg were great Hosts! The views from the 19th floor were great! We had some fun drinks late night at the bar. The front desk and valet staff were great as well. The Beacon Grand’s renovation is great and we will be recommending the property to all who visit San Francisco! Cheers! Stuart/Yoko/Allen/Lisa
