Hotel Beacon

Location is great, staff is friendly. Appreciate the attention to the room, turned over every day. That is unusual nowadays. Thanks for the upgrade!

Up town location away from full on manhattan and in walking distance of Central Park and the riverside

Our stay at Hotel Beacon in New York City's Upper West Side was comfortable and conveniently located on the 11th floor. While the suite had carpeted floors, they were everyday well-maintained. The bathroom, though showing signs of aging, was notably clean and stocked with a variety of toiletries. The suite itself was well-equipped with ample storage space, a dining table for four, and a practical kitchen with four gas burners, a large saucepan, a stainless steel frying pan, and tableware for four. Additional amenities included a microwave a toaster and a coffee machine, although we preferred our own instant pure arabica coffee. The spacious safe in the room was a noteworthy convenience, large enough to hold several notebooks. The view from the 11th floor was pleasing, featuring the iconic wooden water towers that are a characteristic part of New York City's landscape. The hotel's proximity to subway Line 1, just a 2-minute walk away, made transportation exceedingly convenient, and Central Park was easily accessible on foot within minutes. When it came to dining, the on-site FairWay supermarket proved handy for basic necessities with a first floor containing only organic produce. We found some excellent Italian olive oil, dried fruits, bread for our morning toast and very good quality organic eggs. However, for more extensive grocery shopping, we opted for a visit to the Whole Foods Market in Columbus Circle, accessible within a 10-minute subway ride. There, we discovered a wide selection of high-quality items, including delicious rotisserie organic chicken for $14. This option allowed us to fully enjoy the convenience and versatility of the suite's kitchen facilities. The hotel staff were consistently friendly and accommodating. Overall, Hotel Beacon provided a satisfying stay. The well-equipped kitchen and access to quality groceries enhanced our comfort in this secure and appealing neighborhood, making a return visit very likely.

The staff at Hotel Beacon are all top-notch professionals. They know you are there for a special occasion, and they go out of their way to make sure you know they care about you. Everyone there takes pride in making Hotel Beacon a special place. Additionally, the location is perfect for a getaway in NYC. 15 mins to Broadway or Central Park, tons of great restaurants around you. The area is clean, safe, and thriving. Finally, the rooms are clean and comfortable. The hotel is not brand new, but it's very well maintained and is a lovely place to stay.

Great location in the Upper East Side with a Metro / Subway Station just a few minutes away. Our room was very clean and quiet, with a very comfy bed and a little kitchenette which was very helpful to cook breakfast and dinner, especially while travelling with our toddler. Daily houskeeping did a great job, everything was very clean all of the time. There is a great supermarket across the street, the cafe on the 2nd floor is also nice serving breakfast for reasonable prices.
