I was totally disturbed by my check in at another neighboring hotel. I won't mention the name but it is almost like Beacon...nearby and same price range. I immediately checked out of that disaster and into the Beacon. I am a huge hotel snob! I am very selective and only go for the best...I cant believe I have lived in... More

The facilities were great and the staff were very helpful, especially the front-desk clerk George who helped us out with a few mishaps. I would definitely come here again.

Good for 1 night if you're bar hopping, and need a place to crash.

After a dragged out train trip from Rhode Island to DC, including a three-hour delay, we arrived tired and hungry. George, our front-desk clerk, took care of us from our first call for directions from the train station, to check-in, numerous questions and a recommendation for a late night dinner delivery. This hotel is conveniently located and situated in a... More

I was completely satisfied with my stay. The staff was very attentive, and happy hour was awesome. Just needed housekeeping to be more attentive to replacing used cups, not having to ask for them. Skybar great. Location great. Would stay again. The negative reviews did not jibe with the actual experience.

I've had to stay here again and am still not a fan. On both recent visits, the thermostats in the rooms do not work at all. It was in the 30s out one trip, yet my room was in the 80s. I like to sleep with the fan on for the "white noise", but ended up having to open the... More

I've stayed at the Beacon several times over the years and it is one that i can count on for consistantly good stays. The rooms are very clean, nicely decorated and well-appointed. I did have a little trouble figuring out how to set the AC, but I think I finally got it after several attempts. The Beacon offers decent internet... More

I used to use this hotel often. This weekend i put my whole family up there and was shocked. Food service in the restaurant is terrible - we waited 90 minutes for 4 simple dishes and the waitress was unhelpful and rather rude. The air coniditioning in our room stopped working halfway through the weekend and a request to have... More
