Room with a view!

We are always excited to return to the Beacon Grand, as it is one of our favorite destinations. Unfortunately, during this visit, we noticed a significant amount of dust buildup in the hallways and even in the rooms. We noticed in our room this time around. It seems that the rooms could benefit from some additional cleaning attention. Despite this, the Beacon Grand remains a fantastic location; Union Square is just a block away, and there is an incredible top-floor lounge that includes a lobby bar. All in all, we will be back for another visit soon.
