Another wonderful stay in DC. This hotel was among the best experience we have had during our traveling experience. Check in was smoothly. The hotel is contemporary, especially even more so in our executive suite. Everything was as perfect as one could expected. So perfect that we actually felt bad to leave our room ;-) Very strongly recommended!

Mohammad, the concierge, was very pleasant and helpful when we arrived and in retrieving our car. The room was accommodating and clean; the thermostat did actually work in this room. BUT they did not honor the AAA member parking agreement. I made the reservation though AAA Travel Services which promised us a $10.00 per day parking rate. They instead told... More

Check in was fast and simple, and we were appreciative that they let us check in early, as we got to DC earlier than expected. We had a huge room, which we believe was an accessible room, and it was perfect for our 2 night stay. Location is great, only about a 10 minute walk from the White House. The... More

Was there for about 5 days on a business trip, shared room with a co-worker. When the front desk staff found out I was having a roommate they moved me up to a larger room. People working there are excellent - all friendly and helpful. The room itself WAS large, with a kitchenette on entering, and clean, but the bathroom... More

Stayed with some friends over the weekend. The staff were very great ESP Kingsley. Sent us a bottle of wine and a lovely room. It was busy during check out but they offered to email us the receipt. Such a great place. More of a home away from home. Will aways recommend this hotel.

This was a last minute booking. We arrived at the hotel and Kingsley was there to welcome us once again and give us a nice room. He was recently promoted as the Front Desk supervisor. The beacon is nice hotel with down to earth staff. They are very helpful. The rooms are all nice especially the suite.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Mohammed in particular was very helpful, helping me locate a leather coat I misplaced in the lobby. The location was particularly good to Washington Mall. It was within walking distance for me, but it is also close to the Metro for those who want to use the rail.

Hello everyone –recently stayed at the Hotel with my two nieces. I was a bit weary of the room being too unaccommodating for the uncle and two nieces and especially having some room in the room. The room we had was good for the three of us. There were two beds and a sofa bed. I gave the nieces the... More

The staff were all most friendly and helpful. In particular, Muhamad made me feel very comfortable about my vehicle and storing my luggage during my meetings. The food in the restaurant was surprisingly excellent. All of this made my trip far more enjoyable.

This hotel is a little tired and needs a total overhaul. One things that business travellers need is a fast beakfast service, preferably a buffet. I can't remember when I last had waitress service at a breakfast but this is what you get at the Beacon Hotel so be prepared to wait a few minutes to have your order taken,... More
