Hotel would benefit from additional upgrades and fixes. Additionally the walls were very this so woken up multiple times during the night by other guests, and could also hear everything from the street below.

Will def be back to Beacon Grand

Worth the extra money for a junior suite. Bed was comfortable and everything was super clean. Friendly staff, amazing amenities and delicious dining options at the hotel. The Post Room bar is a must, Casey was so fun to talk to and made our occasion so special! We also visited the Starlite Room which was so pretty. The vibe of the whole place was top notch… elevated service and 1930s glitz and glamour. We will be back asap. Be sure to read about the hotel history!
