Hotel is a little outside of the main hub, but it is still in a great location, close to Central Park and just a few minute walk to the subway. As Reviewers have noted, Fairway Market is right opposite, which is superb. The Hotel room was superb, with a large bedroom (2 double beds), but also with a separate lounge/... More

A group of friends just spent three days in NYC. The Hotel Beacon is perfect. It is spotless. We had a two bed suite and were surprised about the amount of room we had - the full kitchen,sofa, chairs, desk, and lots of closets. It is within a 5 minute walk to the subway. There is a restaurant next door... More

Our daughter attends college in NYC. We discovered The Beacon because it was listed on the visitor guide from the university web site. This is our 3rd year of frequent travel to the city. We've tried other less pricey hotels but nothing compares to this place. Each room has a complete kitchen. Located across the street is an amazing 24... More

This was my second stay at the Hotel Beacon, the first being 10 years ago when my husband and I spent a week there. Ten years later, it is still outstanding value--large, very clean standard rooms with restful decor (I usually hate green but this one is soft and restful, much more so than it appears on the website), a...

We stayed at the hotel Beacon for a work trip and it is a very clean and comfortable hotel. The location is excellent and rooms are well equipped. The views from the rooms are excellent. The only downside is there is no bar, or cafe area, which is unusual for a hotel of this size, although there is a great... More

Stayed here in late November for a long girls weekend. We were six total and the 2BR suite was perfect. Location was terrific. One block to subway and 3 blocks to Central Park. Besides the great market across the street, Starbucks is on the corner, Trader Joe's is 1 1/2 blocks away, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants.... More

I stayed 2 nights last summer on a round the world trip. When I booked the hotel I was worried it is too far from mid-town but was very glad I stayed there in the end. It is only a short subway ride to Times Square, but the area around Beacon is actually much more charming and interesting as it... More

Stayed here over Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Hotel was clean enough, staff quite unfriendly. Towels in the bathroom are not plentiful. You were asked to leave the towels on the floor if you wanted fresh ones, which we did daily. Quite often even though you wanted fresh towels, they were picked up and put back, then you had no idea... More

I wasn't overly eager to stay at this hotel. Having never heard of it, I feared the worst. But what a surprise. For a NYC hotel, it's quite wonderful. Clean, spacious, nice furniture. But the best part is that it is right across from Fairway market. What a wonderful combination...the best take out food in New York right across from... More
