The staff was helpful and accommodating. There were some maintenance issues with our room, but after talking with the manager everything was fixed and taken care of to our satisfaction. The location is excellent for access to the subway, Central Park, and a lot of sights and restaurants.

Stayed for 6 nights in a 1-BR suite and it was great to have the extra living space and a fridge.
We were there during a heat wave/also smoke from fires in Canada, and the air conditioning had no issues.
Housekeeping was great - the rooms we very clean and they changed out dirty dishes every day, gave us new towels if requested - etc. - they were very friendly and accessible. Front desk and staff were also very friendly.

Even though we were on the 4th floor overlooking Broadway it was indeed quiet.

The staff that welcomed us at the door were all very friendly. The room, although a bit dated, was clean and comfortable. I wish we stayed longer to use more of the amenities of the room like the microwave, fridge and range. Although they did not offer breakfast, the staff recommended a diner connected to but not affiliated with, the hotel. We were not disappointed. It was a rainy day and the hotel offered umbrellas. Even after checking out, they held our bags for us, as we explored the surrounding area a bit more. We would stay again and recommend it to anyone.

We encountered several cockroaches in the room, including one that crawled over my head during the night. The blankets were quite thin. And in the shower it took a very long time for the water to get hot.

On the plus side, the staff were very friendly and helpful. When we arrived the front desk helped us to sort out our parking situation in a very hands-on and helpful way.

Across the street there’s a market where you can buy food for your stay. I was told that each unit had its own kitchenette because the building used to be an apartment building converted to a hotel. Was very convenient. If you’d like to have a cocktail there is also a liquor store right next-door and a nice restaurant. We stayed because we were attending any event at the Beacon theater. Very convenient! I did have to park my car two blocks up at the champion parking lot ended up being around $325 Canadian for three nights.

If not for the mold / cockroaches / lack of maintenance probably could be a great hotel, definitely for family with kids.

This is a GREAT hotel in a perfect location. WELCOMING staff (from doormen to housekeepers) were always available and willing to assist us during our stay. Multiple nearby restaurants; short access (2 blocks) to the subway; and a modest, but well-stocked kitchenette complement the friendly climate of this comfortable hotel. I WILL stay here again . . . without hesitation.

This was our twentieth stay at the Beacon, which we consider to be one of the best hotels in the area near where a relative lives (others of similar quality are the Empire and the Belleclaire, while the Art House is perhaps a tiny notch nicer and certainly, more modern and with more amenities). This particular weekend the check-in staff on Saturday evening was obnoxious, like a fussy waiter who doesn’t think you deserve to eat in their restaurant, but in fairness that has never happened to us previously and this was a holiday weekend (Memorial Day), with the usual much friendlier staff on break. The rooms we go for are the suites, and although pricey they really are very nice. All are on upper floors, nice views in various directions, comfortable, and someone with jet lag can snooze on the sofa or read late into the night while someone else is in the bedroom behind a closed door. Bathroom is spacious too, and nicely renovated. Kitchenette is very small, though: suitable for storing and reheating takeout but not cooking. You do pay a premium for all that, but they have cheaper rooms too, and at all price levels outperform. Anyhow, this is the start of the upper west side and a very expensive area, overall.

Tremendous restaurant options (try Miriam, Red Kitchen, and Chama Mama, or Boulud when it reopens. Or, if y our wallet knows no fear, the even fancier options at Columbus Circle!)

The staff at the Hotel were excellent. Everyone was friendly and eager to help. The hotel is nice and quiet if that is what you are looking for.

Like many NYC hotels, the Beacon is old. The hallways are dark and uninviting and have an old musty smell. Although we were in a one-bedroom suite, the bathroom was very cramped and the toilet and sink are placed very low. The appliances in the kitchenette were old. We did find a small dead roach one day in the kitchenette.

There are few amenities. No water available at the front desk or in your room. No coffee, no market in-house or a place to buy anything. One must go across the street to the (excellent) Fairway market and out of the hotel to get coffee. You must ask for a shower cap if you want one. With all of that said, there is not much to choose from on the Upper West Side.

The fitness room is small and there is no room to lay down and stretch and no excercise balls and the like available.

The hotel reception staff were very welcoming and super helpful, and quick to respond when we required some maintenance help in our room. The room was clean, although a little dated, and could do with a slight modernisation. However, the staff kept the hotel very clean.

The location was great- a 2min walk to the subway, so easy to get places quickly if we didn’t fancy a walk, and was a 10min walk to Central Park. There was also a good selection of restaurants nearby as well as bakeries, bars and some shops. Although further away from the main attractions in Manhattan, the hotel was in a quieter area of NYC which was nice after busy days exploring.

Arrived an hour before check in, early check in for one of our rooms allowed us time to clean up a bit and grab a bite. The staff was exceptional throughout our stay, helped us get a hired car with a car seat when Uber reservation did not have the required car seat. Perfect location with every amenity onsite or nearby, close to Central Park and the subway, restaurants galore to satisfy everyone in our party.
We will definitely re-visit next time in NYC!!

The Beacon Hotel has a great charm about it. They have managed to maintain the old look of the hotel, although it might be useful to upgrade certain aspects of the rooms.

I was left to find a new hotel after midnight, a single woman, traveling alone. Fortunately, Management heard my complaint the next morning and offered a full refund. This hotel has been great for me in the past—great location and nice rooms. But unfortunately, I can’t book there again after this experience with one of their Staffers.

Hotel Beacon has a great, friendly and professional staff. The beds are comfortable, but the rooms are a bit dated: there are some funky aspects to the rooms that could use maintenance, but they are overall good, but nothing exceptional. The toilet was super small and loud when you flush it - the mini fridge froze all of our food, and there are moldings that are broken or missing along the floors. Overall a good experience.

The location of this hotel is excellent for families. We went with our 7 and 9 year old children, really great location for natural history museum, Central Park, an excellent selection of shops and the subway at 72nd Street.
We chose a suite with two double beds in the bedroom, separate lounge / kitchenette. The beds were both slightly smaller than doubles which was disappointing, although the room large itself. I would say this is a 3 star hotel (in UK terms) rather than 4. However, we did really enjoy the stay and would recommend.

My room was rare for NY in that it actually had a small kitchenette (pots, pans, silverware, toaster, small frig, toaster, stove with two burners), a desk with a chair, a large corner chair and a king bed. The only thing I did not like was that the floor was a non-smoking floor and someone on the floor was smoking marijuana.
