We arrived a little early and were able to check in on the fourth floor and there is insane protesting going on at the Marriott across the street. We were guaranteed a room change the next day to a higher level away from the noise. They put us on the same side actually Alma put us on the same side on a higher level. We didn’t sleep for The time that we were there, three days. A really crappy decision by Alma. Especially since I was there for my birthday and she guaranteed us a room away from the noise. I had a friend staying there at the same time to celebrate it with us and she had a room away from the noise so it was possible. Do not stay here if you want a guaranteed good nights rest. Because even complaining and moving your rooms will do nothing.

Hotel was nice and “grand” in the entrance area. There is a strike going on across the street. It woke us up every morning and It was hard to go to sleep. I would recommend not staying here until the strike is over. You are surrounded my bars and restaurants that are walkable distance which i loved. Don’t rent a vehicle if you’re staying at this location. Parking was 72/day at the hotel and $50/day in the parking garage. Great tourist area. Fisherman’s wharf about 10-12 min away.

Property was ok. The lounge at the top of the hotel was the best thing about it. The protestors outside the hotel made it impossible to sleep in. Room was really small.

Beautiful incorrectly outdated property. I stayed there due to proximity of dental surgery office across the street. 600$ 2 nights. First room we were offered was on 14th floor facing Sutter street. The room was difficult to be in because the windows wouldn’t close tightly leaving half inch gap that was welcoming outdoor noise, pollution and cold. I told I would have to find other hotel when front desk offered me room on 15th floor facing Powell street. That room was way quieter but it has same defective window. I had to stay in this hotel as it was late to change anything. It feels like this property had very poorly windows upgrade done. I think it should be illegal to operate on the market with such defects in developed country.

The staff was great and so was the food. The valet was great! BUT This is not a sound proof property! The people on strike across the street are so loud and you can hear it all in your room(6th floor). It was our anniversary and we had planned to have breakfast in bed and spend the morning lounging but the sound was unbearable and was unable to relax at all and not to be dramatic. The room was tiny the blackout blinds were all wonky so no black out and the plugs next to the bed didnt work. Just really overall bummed out by the stay

Beautiful heritage hotel with a terrific lobby and bar. Restaurant was very good, but closed early, as did the bar. Excellent bartenders who know how to make a proper drink! Nice live music Friday and Saturday nights. Classic rooms are extremely small with tight bathrooms. Limited amenities. Limited channels on television. Good location, but as most urban cities, are going through some renewal after the pandemic.

Lovely stay at Beacon Grand
Stay was nice - the protestors across the street were a drag. I had to move to an interior room to get away from the noise. It's very loud. Liked the location, near Union Square; bathrooms are pretty tiny. Staff were all very hospitable and accommodating. The bar/restaurant was better than expected. A welcome surprise.
