Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel

Beautiful hotel but unfortunately noisy rooms

The hotel was lovely and glamorous downstairs, and the bar and restaurant were very pleasant. Unfortunately, the hotel let itself down when it came to the rooms. We were particularly disappointed by the lack of sound insulation from the bedroom windows. It genuinely felt as though we were sleeping outside, with construction work, car horns and banging audible at all hours. For a hotel of this standard, and with modern double glazing, I would have expected much better sound insulation. Until this issue is addressed, I would strongly recommend requesting a room towards the inside of the hotel

Excellent stay. Especially the bellhops!

Pros: The staff was exceptional. The room was really nice and open and airy and handsome. The beds were comfortable.

Home away from home

The central location puts us within walking distance of Chinatown, Little Italy, and the Ferry Building, or you can hop on a trolley or take a rideshare. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel's classic feel reminds us of New York City, which is a nice experience without the 2,500-mile trip. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and up to date - Great value in our opinion. The beds are comfy and gave us some of the best sleep we've had while traveling. The value for a stay is appropriate, given the proximity to so many landmarks and experiences. The staff is superb and welc
