had a wonderful stay at Beacon Hotel in San Francisco. The location is perfect — close to everything yet quiet enough to relax. The room was clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout my visit. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
