Beacon Hotel

We did not stay at...

Liked: We didn’t stay at all & went to a a real hotel out by 84W
Disliked: Building was locked & inaccessible.

Passable

Awful

Disliked: This place is a complete scam. I didn’t even last 5 minutes before getting out of there.

Worth it, excellent location and...

Liked: The location was incredible, the value was good, and all of the check-in process was very easy.
Disliked: If there had been any issues with the check-in process or room in general it would have been difficult to get it resolved since there were no staff.

Poor

fine room should have been...

Liked: this is NOT a hotel, it is a boardinghouse. if you are looking for a sweet small city hotel with an inviting lobby with a bar/ restaurant where you could relax for the night, this is not it. To enter, you go through an unlabeled door (actually says Beacon Mini Apartments) and then go up a staircase where you can turn right for the "mini apartments" or turn left to enter the "hotel". we were unfortunately met on the otherwise vacant and somewhat shabby staircase by a man seemingly our of his mind, staring at the wall and grumbling (he is not here to assist with check-in, rest assured). the room was fine and comfy but the vibe of the place is all wrong and quite honestly, a turnoff. also, i should note, after you accept the 200$ per night fee (way too high) you then get slapped with a 75$ cleaning fee at final check out. This is under no circumstance worth 300$ and is clearly false advertising by calling it a hotel. for the love a God, please stop using the word HOTEL if it is not a hotel!
Disliked: read above

Very good

I wish I was in...

Liked: Mr. John is an excellent representative of the Beacon community and it was nice to stay in a space owned by a community member. there are still some renovations coming to the space but it is a welcomed addition to the quaint mainstream feel of the area.
Disliked: It is a renovated building so disability access is limited.

This was a waste of...

Liked: The rooms were decently decorated but smelled like cat pee so bad we left.
Disliked: Smells like cat urine and cigarettes. Not easy to find the hotel cause the signs say mini apartments nothing about a hotel. There are absolutely NO employees if you need help. Our lock on the door batteries were almost dead. We booked for one night and left 4 hrs after checking in. I do not recommend.
