I love love this hotel. We stayed there for my daughter’s 23rd birthday. The staff were super friendly. We sat at the bar for a few drinks the bar area is such a cool vibe. Rooms are fresh and clean with great decor. We made reservations for the 21st floor had drinks and enjoyed the fantastic city view and the night lights. We will definitely return to this hotel when we visit San Francisco.

Fantastic stay. The hotel has been beautifully renovated and is super glam - don’t skip Starlite Bar on the top floor! Our room was one of the standard ones so a little cozy, especially the bathroom, and a few things felt a little tired (chipped paint, pedestal sink was a tad loose, toilet paper holder was broken) but it was quiet and clean, and the bed very comfy. Staff was also very friendly and welcoming. We’d absolutely stay here again.

In general, hotel room was cleaned, location is great, services was great. It’s an old property that has its own character, but there are a few improvements that could be made, such as the carpets in the hallways to upscale it a little.

We had an incredible stay at the Beacon Grand and were absolutely blown away by this beautiful hotel. We had been looking forward to our visit for quite some time, and it did not disappoint! We stayed in a Majestic Room with two queen beds, which was spacious, exceptionally clean, beautifully appointed, and very comfortable. The attention to detail throughout the hotel is impressive, and the entire property has a wonderful atmosphere that makes the experience feel special from the moment you arrive. We had both breakfast and dinner at The Post Room, a gorgeous restaurant with a great ambiance and very good food. Service was a little inconsistent depending on our server, but overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and experience there. From the stunning hotel itself to the comfort and impeccable cleanliness of our room, we loved our stay. The Beacon Grand absolutely lived up to our expectations, and we highly recommend it. We will most certainly be back!

Charming hotel, great location. Friendly and attentive staff. I had left one of my luggage pieces behind, Wally at the front desk quickly located it and mailed it to me the next day. Nice bar and a great lounge with great views. Comfortable beds. The bathrooms are a bit small, and the sliding door doesn’t fully close. Overall we had a great experience!
