Great place to stay in San Francisco! We were a 5 minute walk to lots of shopping and restaurants were everywhere. There was a stop for the cable car right outside the hotel as well. Room was clean. The rooftop bar was also fun and convenient for a cocktail at the end of the night. Would stay here again

The hotel is nice, well located and the bar on the 21st floor is lovely. Unfortunately the staff were dismissive and rude for the most part. I left my wife to check in while I parked the car, they notably treated her differently to other guests checking in because she was there solo, didn’t ask her the same questions as other guests and left out standard information that I later had to go and ask. They also messed up our bill for the bar and incidentals, which I’m still waiting on a resolution for. Overall the place is nice. Just expect poor service.

Love staying at this place anytime I'm in San Fran. It's conveniently located and has a historic feel in the lobby and the bar. One of my favorite parts is the water bottle filling station in every hallway. It's eco-friendly and you don't have to worry about where to find potable water. The beds and sheets are so comfy. Awesome bar on the top floor that stays open late too.

Generally really good place to stay. The area has its problems but that won’t be a surprise to anyone familiar with SF, and it’s convenient for visiting many of the sights and taking cable car. Comfortable bed, good shower. The extra charge at the end ($35 per night) came as a surprise- perhaps it’s standard and I didn’t read the small print!!

The Beacon is a wonderful hotel, we will definitely stay there again on our next trip to SF. The bed in our room was amazing. The location was perfect, super close to the Hop-on-Hop off bus, cable cars, shopping and great eateries. As with any major city, homelessness is a huge issue in downtown SF, be vigilant when walking around at night.

The walls were paper thin. Between sirens and neighbors coming in late at night (really early morning) it was very difficult to get a good night’s sleep. It was also a bummer the bar up top isn’t open during the week. The area is declining and I would not recommend wandering alone after dark. Last, I paid for a high floor and don’t consider floor 10 high.
