9/10 Wonderful! (7,668 reviews)
It is a lovely hotel near the busy Pier 39. Breakfast is amazing, the bed comfortable. The negative is the bathroom not having anywhere to put your stuff! And we always have stuff. The safe is in a cupboard rather than the closet so beware on leaving you don’t forget your valuables. We did and had to return the next day to retrieve. Everyone was very helpful in that regard.
My final critique is the old fashioned motel style air conditioner/heater. It is noisy and either blows air on you or is off. Not comfortable when lying in bed. Drafty!

I had a really great stay at the Beacon Grand. The staff provided exceptional hospitality, and the room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience. The location is excellent, situated near Union Square and within walking distance of plenty of restaurants, shops, and attractions. I would definitely recommend staying here!
