I really enjoyed my stay at the Beacon, it was so easy to get around New York from this hotel, the park is a short walk and the 72st subway is about 2 minutes away.
The kitchen is a fabulous asset when holidaying and there are numerous food markets just across the road with the biggest selection of fresh food I have ever seen.
The area feels very safe and I wandered the streets at night with my 12 year old daughter with no fear of danger, we enjoyed eating at 'Big Nicks' which is nearby and has the best and most reasonably priced food around, being a residential area it was so interesting to see how people actually live in Manhattan and there are some great shops and cinemas on the next block.
The shower tiles could have done with a spray of soap scum remover and the couch was in need of a spot clean on one cushion, but I turned the cushion over and made sure I didn't drop the soap and quickly got over it as it is such a fabulous place to stay.
