We stayed for the weekend and it was wonderful. We had a good time because the staff were just wonderful. We have stayed at the sister hotel and must say that they among the best in DC. We booked 4 rooms. The price was reasonable and the rooms were spacious. The staff friendly and very accommodating. I will recommend this... More

I was completely satisfied with my stay. The staff was very attentive, and happy hour was awesome. Just needed housekeeping to be more attentive to replacing used cups, not having to ask for them. Skybar great. Location great. Would stay again. The negative reviews did not jibe with the actual experience. More

I've had to stay here again and am still not a fan. On both recent visits, the thermostats in the rooms do not work at all. It was in the 30s out one trip, yet my room was in the 80s. I like to sleep with the fan on for the "white noise", but ended up having to open the... More

I've stayed at the Beacon several times over the years and it is one that i can count on for consistantly good stays. The rooms are very clean, nicely decorated and well-appointed. I did have a little trouble figuring out how to set the AC, but I think I finally got it after several attempts. The Beacon offers decent internet... More

I used to use this hotel often. This weekend i put my whole family up there and was shocked. Food service in the restaurant is terrible - we waited 90 minutes for 4 simple dishes and the waitress was unhelpful and rather rude. The air coniditioning in our room stopped working halfway through the weekend and a request to have... More

I travel to D.C. frequently and I stay in some of the best name hotels. Mostly they usually have great offers.

I'm in D.C. each spring for business and try to stay some place different each time. Since my business conference is usually around the Capital area, I've stayed in some of the bigger hotels in that area. The Beacon offers a good quality room at a very competitive price and the restaurants and food service was a pleasant surprise. Great... More

I work in Washington, DC, so perhaps my views are a bit jaded. I stayed at the Beacon Hotel since we were having a late reception and I needed to be back in town for an early meeting. The Beacon is overpriced for what you're getting. (I paid $259 before tax for a 2-double bed room.) The front desk staff... More
