Check in was fast and simple, and we were appreciative that they let us check in early, as we got to DC earlier than expected. We had a huge room, which we believe was an accessible room, and it was perfect for our 2 night stay. Location is great, only about a 10 minute walk from the White House. The... More

Stayed with some friends over the weekend. The staff were very great ESP Kingsley. Sent us a bottle of wine and a lovely room. It was busy during check out but they offered to email us the receipt. Such a great place. More of a home away from home. Will aways recommend this hotel.

This was a last minute booking. We arrived at the hotel and Kingsley was there to welcome us once again and give us a nice room. He was recently promoted as the Front Desk supervisor. The beacon is nice hotel with down to earth staff. They are very helpful. The rooms are all nice especially the suite.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Mohammed in particular was very helpful, helping me locate a leather coat I misplaced in the lobby. The location was particularly good to Washington Mall. It was within walking distance for me, but it is also close to the Metro for those who want to use the rail.

Hello everyone –recently stayed at the Hotel with my two nieces. I was a bit weary of the room being too unaccommodating for the uncle and two nieces and especially having some room in the room. The room we had was good for the three of us. There were two beds and a sofa bed. I gave the nieces the... More

The staff were all most friendly and helpful. In particular, Muhamad made me feel very comfortable about my vehicle and storing my luggage during my meetings. The food in the restaurant was surprisingly excellent. All of this made my trip far more enjoyable.

This hotel is a little tired and needs a total overhaul. One things that business travellers need is a fast beakfast service, preferably a buffet. I can't remember when I last had waitress service at a breakfast but this is what you get at the Beacon Hotel so be prepared to wait a few minutes to have your order taken,... More

We had an excellent stay at the Beacon for 5 nights in late March. We were upgraded to a large suite by Kingsley at the front desk upon arrival instead of the king with pullout "studio" as we were with our children 9 & 11 years old. They were excited to receive free dessert tickets & complimentary WiFi as well!... More

For the rate you pay, you can do much better! The location is great but the facility is old and sub par for the fee. The thermostat in my room is broken leaving the temperature at only 63 degrees. I called the front desk twice and it was never fixed. The staff seem nice but if you don't get what... More
