We stayed at the Beacon hotel for 4 nights begining the 23rd July. The hotel is in a good location being walkable to Central Park and even down to 5th Avenue if you like a longer walk. The guys that wait the door were all politeand helpful. Check in procedure was a breeze. However, The Beacon seems to have its own ideas about the size of double beds. I spend most of my working life in and out of hotels and usuallyI don't try to get palmed off with excuses like 'it's the standard size' or 'they are all like that'. A small bed is a small bed for two adults. The real gripe with this visit was the Assistant Manager. I had occasion to go to the front desc a few times and each time while I was waiting de seemed to delight in telling people 'NO'. Whether guets were complaining of construction work or size of room, everything was met witha flat refusal. On the two occasions I asked, I was turned down flat.
We even asked if we could pay for a part stay on the day we were departing (i just wanted my partner and myself to be able to shower before we left early evening) but the answer was a firm 'NO'. A shame as it is a nice place to stay.
