the Beacon Hotel is nicely furnished and has a nice location, unfortunately, the staff doesn't pay attention to any payment details. My credit ard was charged three times for our stay - I have traveled the world and have never experienced a problem with getting my 'hold' on my credit card released until this hotel.

Went with my two daughters (19 and 22) and had a two room suite on the 24th floor. Not the most modern hotel I have stayed in, but there was masses of room, two TVs, a kitchenette and a view to die for, especially at night. Contrary to previous reviews, there is a restaurant which I believe is owned by... more

We stayed at the Beacon hotel for seven nights from June 17-24. We had initially booked a one bedroom suite but on check-in, the desk clerk looked at our family of four and upgraded us to a two bedroom suite for no extra charge. Our suite was huge and comfortable and quite clean. You just can't beat the space for... more

The Beacon is in a great location, close to everything and the rooms are large and clean. My problem was with the hotel staff. We discovered a theft from our room and reported it to the front desk. They could not have cared less. They were loathe to take down details and it was only when we asked for the... more

The hotel is in a great location, near the subway and in a nice upper westside neighborhood. We chose it because we could have 4 in a room, unlike the mid-town hotels that I checked, that would only allow 3 per room. Great for families and very clean. Would stay again and would recommend to anyone - we had no... more

At that time I did my whole travelling stuff with the help of my travel agent. I almost got desperate when I asked for a budget hotel and she gave me WOOGOO and I read the reviews. After serching a little bit a after me getting a little ore flexible with the money she came up with the Beacon. I... more

Stayed here in April 2005 for 2+2 nights en-route to Toronto/Niagara Falls. Booked through BAHolidays website in March 2005 and paid just £38/room/night - excellent value for money - could easily have paid the total price of this hotel reservation for one night in NY!. The Beacon Hotel is located in the much sought after Upper Westside, few blocks away... more

My husband & I just returned from a weekend in Manhattan and couldn't have been happier with the accomodations! The Beacon is just a block or so from the subway, 3 blocks from Central Park and right across the street from a WONDERFUL market. Since our room had kitchen facilities (including a toaster) we were able prepare breakfast in our... more
