Great place to stay when visiting San Francisco

TeleTraveler (Seattle, WA) on Nov 08, 2024

Had a great time staying at the Beacon grand with a group of buddies who are in town to see a show. Cocktails at the Starlite was a highlight! Staff was awesome, thanks to everybody there. Highly recommend the valet parking for ease of getting in and out.

Great hotel, with a few negatives

Big_D74 (Derbyshire, United Kingdom) on Nov 01, 2024

Hotel with a lot of character and history, tastefully restored in a very central location. Very grand lobby, and check in was efficient. Bathroom looked great, but flooded completely when the walk-in shower was used for more than 3 minutes. This required us to ask for additional towels that we could use to stop the room from flooding, which housekeeping provided (and then some). Unfortunately on our last day housekeeping did give us extra towels, but did not replace the glasses in the room, or empty the bins. Postroom restaurant was a bit hit & miss. We reserved a table for the first night in advance of our stay, but when we turned up at 7, they couldn't find our reservation (even though we received multiple OpenTable confirmations). After a short wait they then brought us to a table for 7 people instead of a table for 2 at 7.... Instead we were then ushered to a high table in the corner of the restaurant, with a really small table that didn't have room for the food we ordered... The food was great though. On the first night we also booked & visited the top-floor Starlite bar, which has amazing views of the city as well as great cocktails (note this is only open Friday - Sunday). There were protests happening outside the neighbouring Marriott hotel, as there were at other hotels across Union Square, which wasn't mentioned at all by the hotel (apart from a letter and provided earplugs in our room). These were loud during the daytime, it could be clearly heard from our 14th floor room, but luckily stopped at 10pm (starting again at 7am).
