The Beacon hotel is in a convenient location to great DC attractions, be it tourist destinations like the White House, the college bars in Georgetown, or nice restaurants, they are all in a close 10 minute radius of the hotel. The rooms are typical East Coast size (which tends to be a bit smaller) but it was perfect for 3... more

I stayed here with my 2 very young children and had a great hotel experience. Every member of the staff was courteous, friendly, and extremely helpful. The suite was beautiful and spacious. The location is also fantastik, with a lot of restaurant and parks within walking distance. The room rate was so reasonable, especially since vallet parking was included. Anytime... more

We stayed at the Beacon Hotel for 3 nights the last week of August. Even though it is a little out of the way the price was right. We were able to get an internet special for discounted nightly price, 15% discount for any meals at the hotel restaurant (The Beacon Bar & Grill) and 50% off parking (it's usually... more

With special Internet offer, price of the room was OK (about 115 euros). We were welcome very nicely at the reception. The very small fitness room in the building -there is a possible access to a fitness center in the YMCA accross the street, that we didn't visited- is correct. Unfortunatly, we had a very bad experience with the restaurant's... more

While the room rate I received was outstanding for July in DC, and the lunch I had on arrival in the restaurant (while waiting for my room to be ready) was very good and also a good value, I ended up moving after two nights--I thought the front desk service and bell hop was lackluster (many unhappy looking men), the... more

We just returned from a four night stay. This hotel is in a great location and the Beacon Bar and Grill (Hotel restaurant-I think I have the name right) serves good food. Front desk and bell service was also good. The issue with this hotel is the faulty air conditioning system. We had a one bedroom suite and the living... more

Arrived 4th of July weekend to celebrate my birthday and the 4th. Arrived around 5ish on Fri. Agent was friendly and efficient, room was ready,check-in was swift elevators not so much. Only 1 of 2 were running and made for long commutes to the room. There was a 3rd but you had to go down some stairs and thru the... more

This hotel is located close to the White House, and there are some great restaurants nearby (although I found Washington D.C. a bit boring, considering night life and so on). First of all: We booked this hotel through hotels.com (which is the best oprion, unless you are willing to spend 300- 400 $ a night), and we paid only 80... more

Most of the folks at my meeting were booked into the famous Madison Hotel. Late registrants were booked into the unknown Beacon Hotel near Scott Circle. I was happy to be relegated to the Beacon. Location: On Rhode Island Avenue near Scott Circle, an easy walk to Farragut Square and Dupont Circle. Room: I was upgraded to a large suite... more
