Won’t be back
Room was too small, and better suited for one person, not two. Bathroom was tiny! It was in need of more renovation. Walls were thin. We could easily hear conversations next door. On plus side, mattress was comfortable and employees were helpful and friendly.

6/10 Good

Pleasantly disappointed.
The place was beautiful, and the location was excellent. However, the service was disappointing—definitely one star. From check-in to dining to check-out, the staff was consistently rude. Would it be too much to ask for a smile and a simple “thank you”? We were excited to try this place, especially after a poor experience at the Westin down the road, but this was no improvement. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

We will be back!
You can't beat this location a block up from Union Square and several blocks from China Town. Right on the Trolley line adds to the charm of this gracious and impeccably restored historic hotel. Lots of restaurants around and felt safe. The beds were super comfortable and our room was quiet. The Starlight Bar on the top floor is amazing!

The Beacon Grand was bustling over the holiday weekend, and the hotel looked great with its recent makeover. The rooms retained their historic character, but felt modern and very comfortable as well. The staff were great, and make sure to check out the 360 views from the Starlight lounge on the 21st floor looking out over Union Square and all the vistas of SF.

Lovely Stay
Amazing stay over the Christmas holiday weekend. Staff were friendly, valet expensive $80/day, but excellent. Beacon Hotel is a mix of old world and modern feel. We had a junior suite and it was roomy, quiet, and the bedding and linens were to die for. The service was great. We had room service for a cheese plater and it was well made, delivered quickly, and at a reasonable price. Perfect location.

2/10 Poor

Will never return
We had reserved a high floor room with a view of union square but our only view was of the HVAC system on the roof. The front desk staff was incredibly not helpful nor friendly. The bartender was even worse, rude is an understatement. The best employees at this hotel were the bellhop and valet. Those guys are awesome. The rest of the staff should take notes from them.
