Celebrating in SF
Great overnight stay in San Francisco. Remodeled hotel was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was music was too loud in beautiful rooftop bar.

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.

So much noise!
The protester don’t stop. So much noise it gave me a horrible headache. I wouldn’t stay here again. Also the bar with the view is hardly open.

Annual Holiday Adventure to SF
Every Christmas we visit the city for a holiday weekend with friends and this was our 3rd year staying at the Beacon Grand. Everyone is so nice, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect. We’re already looking forward to next year’s trip!

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.

Absolutely a wonderful stay
I went with some family members to celebrate my moms 60th birthday and we had such a great time! The cable car is just down the street so we were able to explore key san francisco spots with ease. The hotel manager and staff were extremely helpful. The hotel manager even assisted us in finding and booking us reservations at a beautiful italian restaurant for my moms birthday dinner. The upstairs and lobby bar were wonderful with live entertainment in the lobby and the most beautiful skyline view from the upstairs bar. Highly recommend and will stay again.

A good stay, more effort needed to correct issue.
There was a noise issue during my stay, which was only partially resolved, is the main reason for my lower rating. Great service from the front of house and restaurant team! Food was very good.

Great hotel really classic. Awesome location right in the city. Great help from staff re local eateries and travel and attractions. Older hotel but clean and well looked after, rooms a bit smaller if you are used to more modern hotels but no issue for our family of 3.

Paid for high floor with city view. Was on 5th floor with a very limited view. When booking it said that was the total cost everything including but ended up having to pay an additional $40 resort fee at check out. Hotel and staff were great, not sure if the issue is with it hotel or a misprint on hotels.com
