You get a huge space for a reasonable price at Hotel Beacon. Do the rooms need a refresh? Absolutely. And a deep cleaning as well.

You get a huge space for a reasonable price at Hotel Beacon. Do the rooms need a refresh? Absolutely. And a deep cleaning as well. However, outside of the that, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for an extended stay, or if you just don't want to eat out every single meal. The staff are all kind and helpful, house keeping will replace any dirty dishes you leave in the sink (we just washed as we went), and the beds are super comfortable. Traveling with a 6-year-old presents it's challenges when staying in hotels, but our stay at Hotel Beacon felt like we had sublet an apartment for the week and it was a super easy and delightful stay. Great location to both the subway and buses, the Fairway across the street is open until midnight, and Cafe Viand next door has the best grilled cheese in the the city (according to our kiddo).

Located in upper mid town the hotel location is not as accessible to sights as other hotels, but it makes up for that with comfortable rooms at affordable prices and friendly and competent service. The rooms are spacious and quiet and there is a nice exercise facility on premise.

We had an absolutely wonderful 8 night stay at the Beacon Hotel last month. The hotel has kept its old world charm with fantastic facilities & amenities. On site laundry was wonderful , kitchenette, comfy beds & linens all helped make our stay 5 stars. The location is perfect, only one block from the subway & just a few blocks to Central Park, perfect!! The best part of stay was the wonderful staff, from the friendly door man, front desk, concierge & our beautiful cleaning staff. A special shout out to Jenny at the front desk!! My daughter was lucky enough to have her birthday while we were there & Jenny went above & beyond to organise a gift for her, which made her day extra special. We will definitely come back to stay at this beautiful hotel. Read less

Excellent suite with kitchenette. Clean, quiet, newly renovated, natural sunlight. Walking distance to Lincoln Center, Central Park, subway, shopping, and good restaurants. Friendly staff, reasonably priced consider the location. Would definitely return.
