Good quality hotel, with reasonably friendly service. Great location right on Broadway, with all the day-to-day shopping and dining virtually at your doorstep. The subway was a skip and a jump away, wizzing us in to Times Square in minutes. This was our first trip to NYC and we loved this part of the city. Great residential feel to it,... more

On our first visit to New York the Hotel Beacon was an excellent base for exploring the city. The rooms were comfortable, very large for NYC and the rate was very reasonable. We stayed in the one bedroom apartment and enjoyed magnificent views across the West Side to Central Park. Convenience to the Subway was a great bonus as was... more

This was my 7th trip to NY and I have to say, this is now my favouite place to stay. I have always loved the Upper West Side and it's location is just the best - 2 blocks from Gray's Papaya and 72nd st Subway, 2 blocks to Manhattan Diner, 5 blocks from Zabars and H & H Bagels, Riverside... more

My husband and I took our daughter for her 21st Birthday (2 months early but what 21year wants to spend their 21st with their mam+dad lol). We all loved this hotel, our bedroom was massive and the bed was so comfortable and huge. My daughter slept in the living room/kitchen on a pull out bed which was comfortable, each room... more

I like the location of this hotel. It's on the Upper West Side. The subway stop is three small blocks away on 72nd. There's a grocery market across the street. Central Park is four blocks away. There's H&H Bagels on 81st. Nick's Pizza is a block away. Shopping on Broadway, Columbus and Amsterdam. There are so many things close by... more

This hotel is located in upper mid west Manhatten. If you are the type of person who thrives on bright lights, the hustle of the town centre don't come here. The hotel is two very small blocks from the 72 street subway, turn left out of the hotel. It took no time at all to get to where ever we... more

We'll be definitely staying in this hotel again. It was my first time in New York, third time for my husband but had no idea where to stay. Luckily my father-in-law was also staying at the hotel on business so we decided to join him. We couldn't have found a better hotel. Perfect location - away from the craziness of... more

After a few years of staying away from the Hotel Beacon, I read the reviews on this site and decided to give the hotel another try. I am very happy to report that all is well! The new decor is lovely, the staff very accomodating and helpful, the new windows make the rooms amazingly quiet--even on the third floor!--and the... more

We visited NYC two weeks before Christmas. We checked other hotel rates and reviews but decided to go with what we knew....The Beacon. We got a double room. We had asked for early check-in and a high floor, but that just about never works, but, upon our early arrival, our room was ready, and on a high floor. Check in... more
