I enjoyed my stay. My sister and I stayed in one of the smaller rooms but there was plenty of room for us. We enjoyed our handcrafted cocktails by Anson at the Post. The door staff were very friendly. The location was super convenient in terms of walking to city attractions and using the BArt from the airport. I’d stay here again.

The hotel is beautiful and really conveniently located just off Union Square. The beds are very comfortable, and the blackout curtains were definitely appreciated. There are just a couple minor things that prevent me from giving the Beacon Grand a full 5 stars. We generally don't mind small square footage rooms; however our Classic Room (king bed) was a little awkward to move around in. The bed was placed in a way that there was barely more than a foot of space between the foot of the bed and the wall you have to pass to get the to the bathroom. Another small issue for us (maybe not for others) was that the air vent is directly over the headboard, meaning the air conditioning blew right onto our heads while we were sleeping. If you don't mind the feeling or don't need to run air/heat, it's pretty negligible.
