"This was my second stay at Hotel Beacon. My first, in July, persuaded me that henceforth this would be my favorite hotel in New York. It is an extremely well managed property. The rooms are spacious and nicely furnished, and the staff is especially welcoming The location, two stops from Penn Station on the 2 & 3 subway line is splendid, and the M79 crosstown bus is only four blocks away. The kitchenettes are especially nice, as once can save leftovers from restaurant meals or make your own meal. Five stars all around!"

"Nice clean, comfortable rooms, with refrigerator and microwae. Nice bathroom with amenities. Staff was friendly. Area was quiet and some delis and nice restaurants real close. Housekeeping came every day, which is unusual post-Covid, and was nice. One thing I didn't like is you can't control the heat in the room and I tend to be cold-natured so I was a bit cold until they turned it on at night."

"I was having the worst morning of my life and unexpectedly had to book a hotel last minute and found this hotel. They allowed me to check in early. They were kind, welcoming, and attentive. I felt safe, it was so clean, and cozy. The location was also wonderful, and the luggage holding was a nice amenity. I would definitely stay again. Thank you all."

"The lobby area was very inviting...the decor was beautiful and unique. The artistry throughout the hotel was awesome. The hotel was very clean and the staff took a lot of pride in what they do. The staff had wonderful dispositions and excellent customer service. We loved the hotel view from the room! We wished there was a coffee maker in the room...a bit disappointing....but Starbucks was right next door which was a plus. Walking distance from Central Park , Times Square and other shopping...which made it so convenient.... everything was in walking distance! Wished there were more t.v. channels to choose from in the room. Checking in was quick and efficient and checking out as well. But overall stay was awesome... highly recommended hotel."

This hotel is a real treat with a great deal of history. Well worth a couple of nights in a great neighborhood to refresh your batteries and see Old New York the way it was."
