HOTEL REVIEWS

USA, Feb 2008
I was looking for a less expensive alternative than the Marriott or Hilton. The Beacon was an excellent choice -- the rooms were comfortable and clean, and the hotel was in a great location, and overall it was an excellent value for the money. I had to pay for internet, but at the price I paid for the hotel, I didn't mind.

This was the first time that I stayed at Hotel Beacon and would definitely stay again.

We went to the hotel based on the amenities that your site said they had. Specifically, an outdoor pool. Also, a full health spa that did not exist. I live in the city that I booked the hotel in so I could relax at a pool for the weekend. When we realized that there was no pool we told them that we did not want to stay and would be checking out. They charged us for a night and would not give us a full refund. We even printed out the advertisement for the manager to see and he still didn't relent. So your website needs to update the amenities that a hotel has because it really ruined the weekend.

I was amazed to find a hotel so well located, and with so comfortable and spacious rooms, for a very reasonable price. I would definitively recommend this establishment to others, and return myself at the next occasion. My only problems were the noise of the air conditioning and a not particularly warm welcome (but I have to add that it was very late in the night, and I was not in the best mood myself, due to a flight delay of several hours).
