Beacon Grand a Union Square Hotel
The cool thing about Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel is its central location in San Francisco, near popular attractions like Union Square, Dragon's Gate, and Westfield San Francisco Centre.
Room was clean and service was excellent. Perfect location.
We were meet at the front door by bellhop who was very courteous and greeted us with his friendly smile. The front desk was also friendly and explained everything throughly when checking in. Housekeeping is awesome and very courteous. Our room was clean when we came in and when they cleaned our room for the day was exceptionally clean. The restaurant in the hotel was very friendly and had delicious food. Best stay ever and are truly grateful for their kindness. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel and they had the best rates. 10 stars for this hotel.
Elegant lobby, staircase, ceiling and chandelier. Room was nice. Old school class and charm. Staff and waitresses were great. Will stay again.
Dates of stay August 24 29/24 We were first time travelers to San Francisco, in our late 40s and travelled with no kids. All of our interactions with the hotel staff were great, but I want to give an extra shout out to Monica at the front desk and Sebastian, one of the doormen. Monica was the first employee we dealt with and her kindness, sincerity and genuineness made us feel welcomed and valued as guests and not "just a customer". Our interactions with Sebastian were warm and authentic and he made us feel comfortable and welcomed every time we came back to the hotel. They both were a huge part in making us feel like we were welcomed and valued. We stayed in a Grand Junior Suite (15th floor) facing the street, and had an amazing view from our windows. The room itself was huge, had plenty of seating and lots of room to be able to store luggage out of the way. We could hear street noise, but the bed and bedding that they use had me sleeping so soundly that I wasn't bothered by it. The trolley bells do start early though! We didn't hear noise/people in the other rooms except for the occasional chair being moved on hardwood. There were plenty of mirrors and electrical outlets around the room as well. The bathroom had a double vanity (ample space for two people to get ready) and a large walk in shower. The water pressure from the shower head is very weak, so a head's up if you have a lot of hair, or long hair. There is a safe in the room and the closet area had a place to hang up clothes, along with a number of shelves. There were plenty of drawers to unpack as well. The location of the hotel is excellent for accessing the touristy parts of San Francisco quite easily. We walked all around the area and didn't feel unsafe. The latest we ventured out until was approximately 9:30 pm. We had a couple drinks at the Starlite Lounge and while it was quite expensive for four drinks, the atmosphere is something to experience! We also were gifted two complimentary drinks for The Post Room, and, unfortunately, I didn't get the bartenders name, but he too gave that little extra effort in showing us a little something that we normally wouldn't have had access to while staying there. If someone asked me if they should stay at the Beacon Grand Hotel, I would absolutely say "Yes!".
Yes
