The Beacon offers a sense of levity in a city that often weights itself down. Intimate gathering spaces invite guests to loosen their proverbial ties and let down their hair. People watch in the lively lobby, catch up on international news in the sunken library, kick back with a creative cocktail on the rooftop terrace, or ponder the artwork presented throughout the public spaces. The Beacon brings together brilliant minds and global influences in an approachable setting. The Beacon Bar & Grill offers an eclectic menu of traditional American fare and internationally-influenced dishes prepared with locally sourced produce. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails can be enjoyed in the atrium lounge. Fireside booths in the main dining room make for especially warm memories. SkyBar, a rooftop lounge, offers creative cocktails and light snacks, paired with incredible city views.

We were in a room next to two neurotic dogs, the owners abandoned them around 6pm and returned around 1am, the hotel staff were not able to do anything about the dogs, and were not sympathetic to the noise complaints.

I would avoid this hotel. It is kind of run down, the elevators are small and unpleasant, the lobby also cramped, and my room had a lot of siren noise and a barely functioning shower, the staff seemed kind of resigned. They also charge serious junk fees, like a significant daily junk fee that supposedly covers bottled water. I was a little shocked to see it listed as 4 star, as it has more a 2-3 star feeling. That said, if its a good deal -- maybe? -- just be aware of the junk fees.

First off, I booked through stayforlong , and got a good rate. With the note that the hotel would charge a facility fee of 40ish buck. Well, that was per night. Then I discover parking, which is valet only, and with little no parking nearby, is *$70* a night. The add one more than doubled my bill. The rooms are ok. They smell of the air freshener. They douse the elevator in it so much I choked . The staff is just there to get paid, except the one desk clerk who checked me in who was actually nice, and efficient. Don’t even have any vending machines. Just an overpriced bar (with no room charges). 4.50 for a cook! Not really near anything, even the subway.

Z1887CEronj, it's disheartening to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations. It seems that certain aspects, such as additional fees for amenities, as well as the scent management in our common areas, have come across as less than satisfactory. Our team aims to deliver transparent and comprehensive information about all charges, so we genuinely regret any misunderstanding. We're also aiming to provide a comfortable environment, so your feedback about the intensity of the air freshener is valuable. Your comment about our team's engagement has also been noted - whilst we're happy that you found one colleague particularly efficient and welcoming, we strive for all our team members to deliver exemplary service. Concerning convenience amenities like vending machines and proximity to attractions, we appreciate this feedback and will look into improving guest experience on these aspects.

Richmond, Virginia1 contribution
For the price you pay to stay, there should be more amenities and updates. No Fridge or microwave in the room which is a inconvenience. The shower in our room was clogged, the water didn't drain properly. The TV was on the right side of the bed, we had to turn the TV around in order to look at it comfortably. Having to use our keycards to work the elevator every time we had to go up to our room was bit annoying. We would swipe the keycard and the other othe elevator door would open which was scary especially if you were leaning on it, we didn't know it would open.

ChantialPM, we appreciate your feedback and regret hearing about the inconveniences you encountered during your stay. We understand that certain amenities and updates to the room may improve the overall experience. Your suggestion about adding a mini-fridge and microwave will be taken into consideration. We apologize for the challenges you faced with the in-room facilities, including the shower drain and the positioning of the TV. Understandably, the elevator's keycard feature was a surprise and we're sorry if it caused discomfort. Your feedback is crucial as it aids us in focusing our attention on the areas where we can enhance the guest experience. We hope you'd grant us another opportunity to provide a better hotel stay in the future.

Terrible the rooms are outdated for the price point. The hall ways smelled like weed. The staff were rude. The elevator was small and took forever. Terrible experience and this was the second time I gave them a chance. Don’t book with them!

Brittaneyhillz89, regrettingfully reading your feedback about the condition of our rooms and the hallways. We're continuously striving to keep our hotel comfortable and up-to-date, as well as ensuring a welcoming, odor-free environment for our guests. Also, the inconveniences mentioned about the elevator are noted. Your comments about the interactions with our colleagues are especially concerning, it is our priority to ensure cordiality towards every guest. We appreciate you giving us a second chance and we deeply regret that we were not able to meet your expectations on both occasions. Certainly unwarranted, and that's certainly not the impression we aim to leave. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us as we work towards improving our services.

I've never written a bad review like this before but there is no hot water available in the shower or sink and no wifi. When I called the front desk to ask about the wifi the woman first said there must be something wrong with my computed (I have travelled for work weekly for years) and then said I should use the wifi in the lobby because that one works. And no apology or attempt to help. Also if you get in before 3pm they will charge you for an early check in even when there are plenty of rooms available. It's a good location and price but this is beyond ridiculous.
