The hotel is currently undergoing renovations; however, the room was completely refurbished and clean. We interacted with very little staff—just the front desk and valet parking. They really ought to take this opportunity to build a proper parking area; the hotel needs it. Aside from that, we have always liked this hotel—we last stayed here six years ago. Highly recommended.

The hotel is currently being remodeled there was limited access to any amenities workout room, lobby, restaurants.

The current lobby situation is dirty and under construction the air-conditioning was not working and it was extremely hot.

The staff was helpful in my room was clean and well appointed the best part of the experience was my room

The issue I had with my room was the air conditioning controls were very old and we’re not sensitive to minor adjustments. The fan was loud and was hard to sleep.

The hotel is under renovation and they have a makeshift lobby set up in the restaurant, everyone has to use the service elevator which is sometimes slow. I stayed in a newly renovated room which was clean but the AC unit did not work well had to call the front desk twice. Overall the location is convenient but I equally wished I would’ve know about the lobby renovation

OK, so I’ll start with the good stuff. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The room itself had just been remodeled and was very clean and the furnishings in the room were new and it was great but the rest of the hotel was horrible. It advertised a pool. It did not have a working pool. It advertised a restaurant in a bar. It had no restaurant no bar it advertise valet parking, but it didn’t tell you that it’s $80 for the valet parking per day, the hotel when we were, there was under major renovation and it looked to be moving slow, but everything was tore up. I mean everything on our stay there at 6 o’clock in the morning they started construction in the hallway outside of our room with hammering drilling cutting 6AM I would not recommend this hotel unless they finish all of the improvements and it’s substantially better. We did not enjoy our stay other than the staff in the room itself. The rest of the hotel was horrible and it was falsely advertised we should have been refunded part of our money. We spent $300 on a one night stay plus $80 on valet parking so for $380 we got no pool no restaurant no amenities whatsoever

The hotel was under significant renovations and should have been closed. The construction crew utilized the only working elevator as a freight elevator which was extremely challenging to navigate as there was often no space for the guests staying in the hotel. The reception desk and overall services listed were not available nor deducted from the overall price of the stay. For being a corporate hotel located in a central area, the hotel stay was overall unacceptable.

The Property is going through major renovations: Lobby is closed off and you enter through what was once a hotel resturant. From what it looked like, they have big plans but it won't be complete any time soon. I don't know if they have parking but the location is the best aspect for the property; it's an easy 30 minute walk to the White House. We had a renovated room; it was very clean & nice but the bathroom lights seemed to be on a motion sensor which went off frequently in the middle of the night and they need new beds. Maid and janitorial staff were great.

I would strongly discourage anyone from staying at the Beacon Hotel. During my stay, I was trapped in an elevator with 4 other guests for more than 40 minutes. The situation became serious enough that the fire department had to be called to rescue us. To assist with the rescue efforts, power was shut off in parts of the hotel, including guest rooms. Being stuck in an elevator is stressful and frightening, but what made the experience worse was the response from hotel staff.

Much of the hotel was also under construction, including Floors 1–6 and the penthouse level, which is one of the property's advertised attractions because of its views of downtown D.C. The extent of the renovations significantly impacted the overall guest experience. After the elevator incident, I expected empathy, professionalism, and clear communication. Instead, I was met with rudeness and indifference. The staff was dismissive when I asked questions about how to remedy this issue. When I requested documentation, a receipt, and information regarding the refund process. The customer service issues continued after I checked out. Two days later, I called to inquire about my refund and obtain an update on the process. The staff was unprofessional during the call and ultimately hung up on me before my questions were answered.
I cannot recommend the Beacon Hotel. Between the ongoing construction, the elevator emergency, and the disappointing response from staff, this was one of the worst hotel experiences.

I enjoyed my stay at the Beacon Hotel and Corporate Quarter! During my visit the building was going through major renovations, but the staff were extremely kind and patient with helping me get my luggage up and down the floors. I thought the room was perfect, clean, and its amenities were well maintained. I would certainly come back the next time I am in DC! Special thanks to V, Karen, and Solomon for their kindness and hard work, as well as to the other staff who I did not get to catch their name.

The hotel is undergoing a major renovation.My room was remodeled and was beautiful and very comfortable.No complaints there. But everything else about the hotel as far as amenities is terrible right now. They are still a long way off from finishing the construction. My biggest issue was the elevator.All four days I was there there were issues with them not working at some time or other. We even got stuck in the elevator and had to have the Fire Department get us out! But one good thing is they had a manager named Diane who was wonderful who really understood and listened to my problem and resolved my issues. Diane was great! Overall it was a good and comfortable room to just sleep.

This property was actually under construction. However, I would like to say that the gentleman that checked us in close to midnight due to a delayed flight gave us all of the information we needed and set expectations around non-working heat and possibly needing to let the hot water run for a bit to get it hot. However, once we got to our rooms, or actually right when I stepped into the hallway off of my elevator, I could see the renovations were well done. My room was very modern. I really thought it looked beautiful. The lighting in the bathroom, especially for makeup, was great. There was plenty of hot water. The bed were extremely comfortable as was the bedding. The only thing I suggested was that the bathroom did not have one possible hook or shelf for your body wash or your face cloth, but I did ask the front desk on my way out and they said they would be installing them. Thanks for a great stay. Looking forward to staying again when your remodel is complete.

This hotel was a standout not just because of the convenient location and fair price, but the room was surprisingly spacious and well appointed. It was a family reunion trip and we had a sofa and table, so a great night of cards was had and wonderful memories were made.
We even got housekeeping. It was so amazing to come from a long day of sightseeIng to a made bed, a spotless room, totally restocked. So rare post pandemic.
There were some issues due to the beautiful renovations going on, but the attentive staff took care of us like family and we were so happy. What a wonderful trip to our nations Capitol! Great location, great staff!
Thanks again Diane, Jorge and Elvis! We will be back for sure.

I NEVER got to step foot on to this property and yet my card was charged twice $116.74 and again $84.00 while I was my flight before landing in DC. I called the hotel to ask about the charges, after receiving a text that I must checkout at noon. I was still in the air on my flight which is what I tried to explain due to the bad weather DC was experiencing. This occurred on March 16, my reservation was made on March 15th, 2026. I spoke with a total of 3 people before arriving, in the end Diane was the last person that would handle this situation. I also spoke with Expedia on this matter and NO ONE is helping to resolve this problem of taking my money without an end product!

My heating/cooling system did not work well. The bed was not the most comfortable. Bathroom lights are on a timer, so they constantly turn off too soon while taking a shower, yikes! The hotel looks like it was a trendsetter and was an early adopter to apartment/ suite style lodging, but it has not been upgraded at all which was evident in a few places throughout the hotel, and in my room with the kitchen area. I probably will not stay again, but it served its purpose while there.

We stayed here on February 2026. The family room was spacious, comfortable, and easily accommodated the five of us, with plenty of space to move around. The temperature was a bit warm at first, but we were able to open the window slightly to let in some cool air from outside, which helped. The room was clean, the bathroom was generously sized, and everything functioned as expected.

The staff were welcoming, courteous, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. The surrounding area felt clean and safe, though the nearest Metro station was about a 10‑minute walk away.

The only downside was that the restaurant/bar and the gym were closed for refurbishment during our visit, which was a little disappointing.
