“Terrible stay. Don’t book Hotel Beacin”

Sep 21, 2025TLClovesatrip

Horrible “2nd Room” Booked for 4 guests. The suite was 1 bedroom with a foldout couch in the living room. Sleeping was impossible on the foldout. Complained to hotel and their only solution was for us to pay for an upgrade. Additionally we paid extra for a view room and their only upgrades were on low floors which have little natural light and no view. No apology, no compensation for our first night as if the problem was our doing. Just pay more and you will have a 2 bedroom suite. We booked 3 nights here and are very sorry. The bellmen are the only nice hotel staff. Will book elsewhere on our next trip. The Wallace on the UWS is much nicer anyhow.

“Slightly worn room but I’d stay again”

Sep 11, 2025krystynlo

I was traveling to NYC for work, and we decided to stay at this hotel due to its proximity to the places we were visiting. I made the mistake of making my reservation through a third party (“guest reservations”), and I still don’t know how I kept ending on that site after Googling the hotel several times and trying to make the reservation directly. Judging from the traveler photos I see, I kind of wonder if older rooms are assigned to people who use a non-hotel booking system (let me be clear though, it was still pretty expensive and I had to prepay), because the furniture in my room looked considerably older than that in other people’s photos. My boss, whose reservation was made through Hotels.com, was on my floor; our colleague, who made his reservation directly, was on a different floor. Suffice to say, though, despite some hiccups, I’d stay here again. The location is amazing, the staff is super friendly and extremely attentive (truly excellent), and the bed was pretty comfortable. I did see a huge cockroach one morning in my doorway when I was leaving my room, but this is NYC (and there are kitchenettes, so there’s food.) I’d say to just make sure you’re on the correct site; I’ll be curious next time I go whether my room is different.

“Roaches. Dirty.”

Sep 10, 2025Trek724028

During our stay we found the biggest cockroach we have ever seen. We let management know and they acted like it wasn’t a big deal and they didn’t even apologize. They sent someone up 10 minutes later with a broom (what was that going to do) after the roach crawled under the fridge. I live in the south and I understand that some roaches (palmetto bugs) are native and normal to see, but I know in NY there are only roaches where there is DIRT and FILFTH. The rooms were outdated, yes, but clearly they aren’t being cleaned. I was very disappointed in the way management reacted and it was apparent that we were bothering them when we brought up this issue. we were no longer comfortable for the remainder of the stay
