"Value For Your Money"
Overall, very satisfied. The hotel staff is very helpful and patient. The room was clean and very comfortable. The location is perfect for anyone who has any business around the DuPont Circle. I would like to thank my Hotels.com rep who found me this place after giving him the address of the place of business I needed to go to the next day. He was very […] kind and personable.

"Serviceable, if unimpresive"
The rooms at the Beacon are on the small side -- but still serviceable and tidy. But the bathroom was a real disappointment. The fixtures are older, with no space on the vanity for more than a toothbrush, old, small, rough towels, and not many of them. My hand towels were never replaced after the first day (the used ones were taken away). Tioletries […] were similarly cut-rate quality. The elevators are old, small and slow -- making for either meeting new friends, or frustrating slowness....depending on your perspective. The staff were very kind. All in all, a decent place to lay your head -- but don't expect any perks (and pack a towel is you like decent linens). Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location Hotel"
Nice Hotel, good location, especially for those who would like extended stay with the comfort of kitchinette and cooking facilitiesGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel for people working close by"
This hotel is great only problem is the parking, we were only there for 5 hours. If they can add coffee that would really helpGenuine Expedia guest review
I was very happy with the hotel and the staff. The location was perfect for all sorts of activities. The room was big and roomy. I will return and recommend it to everyone!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nightmare on N Street - Don't stay here!"
This hotel doesn't care about customers. I reserved a room with one bed and was given a double bed room (14) next to the engine room, so noisy that it has no place in any hotel. When I asked for another room I was told 'No'. This hotel is in an unsafe area near the YMCA where alot of homeless and drug problems persist. Dupont Circle is about 4 blocks […] away and you should stay closer to Dupont Circle (the Dupont Circle Hotel, the Hilton, and others all have good discounts if you look online).If I can save several travelers their money & time, then this review has done its job.

"Good Location, Bad Hotel"
We booked this hotel for a business trip and found the hotel staff unhelpful from the moment we walked in and they just watched us struggle to get through the doors with our film equipment without helping. After a rude man helped me check in they finally helped us bring our bags to the room. Later when we asked for some water they charged us $4 a bottle […] for what we later learned was reused water bottles filled with tap water. They charge $35 for overnight parking and their room service is grossly overpriced. And of course when our food arrived we were given free water when they charged us the night before. Overall, we won't use this hotel again and I wouldn't suggest it to anyone else. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel!"
I really enjoyed my time here at the Beacon Hotel! Teh entire staff, from management to the concierge has been nothing but phenomenal. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that plans to stay in the DC area. It is very convenient for inner city travel, lots of amenities are in walking distance if not already offered in the hotel. You won't be disa […] ppointed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Beacon is over the hill"
I would never stay at this hotel again. I find the rooms very small and the bathrooms are tiny. The bathrooms have a small pedestal sink. The rest of the room is, in my opinion, the size of a European hotel room.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Overnight stay, great stay!"
Over night stay for my boyfriend's birthday celebration. The hotel was very nice, everything clean, everyone welcoming. There's a picture of out bed, which I thought was really cute! My only trouble was that they charged me an extra $4 for a bottle of water. No big deal because it's only $4 but just the trouble of going through the process of trying […] to get the money refunded and the lack of communication with the assistant manager Steve, I did not appreciate. But overall we definitely enjoyed our stay, and I would recommend this hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Horrible Hotel, Good Location"
The hotel shut the A/C off for the winter season however in late November it was warm and the hotel was burning up. The room was 80+ degrees and now way of turning the AC. Front desk had no solution other that to open the window, which was only allowed to be opened about 2 inches. The rooms were not up to 3.5 star standard by anyone, very dated, dusty […] and not throughly cleaned. Excellent location and area however simply poor hotel. Based upon customer service alone I could not recommend this hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Loud construction across the street"
Unfortunately, the construction across the street is loud and made this stay a very unpleasant one. The work started between 6:30 - 6:45 each morning and was really loud. When I told the front desk, they just shrugged and said the city gave them a permit to start early. A warning when I checked in and/or made the reservation would have been nice. Or […] trying to put guests in rooms as far away from the construction probably would have helped, too. I won't stay here again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Everything was great!...Room was just a bit small."
Everything was great. The decor, the location, the service, and the amenities. The room was just small (in my opinion) for a suite. But still very nice, and met my expectations. I would stay there again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Pleasantly Surprising"
pleasantly surprised when upgraded to a suite because it was my birthday but I was shocked when I found a cold bottle of champagne in the suite. Looking over the street sipping my champagne was priceless. Regarding the hotel employees, everyone was very nice and comforting. The restaurant was very good and did I mention you are only a block and a half […] away from downtown DC night life? I picked this hotel for its location but I found much more than I expected. Great pick for the price. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Too expensive for what you get."
Badly overpriced. Air conditioner very noisy. Decor mediocre and a bit shabby.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel and staff were amazing."
This hotel is in a great location, easy walk to food, sightseeing, and metro stations. The staff at check in were very nice and helpful, they gave us info on how to get around and places we should see. The rooms were spotless and spacious, and very new looking. When we come back to dc we will stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"excellent value for location"
Staff people were very courteous and the place was clean. Great location and very reasonably priced. They had posters all over announcing their "sky bar" so I got all exited about getting a glass of wine with a view, but it was closed - they should take their posters down when they close the sky bar.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Fair (not great) choice for business..."
Pleasant enough, converted (from pre-war office or apt building) with small rooms and very small bathrooms. No place to put tolietries; only one available plug at desk -- forcing me to unplug computer in roder to use coffee maker; pay for use internate access (now fre at most large hotels); starnge elelvator service connecting two older buildings; fair […] restaurant service -- though I was served the wrong thing at the bar. The next time, I'll probably choose the nearby Marriott -- where my rewards points will gain me access to many of the missing items at the beacon. A business hotel that rusn out of newpapers before 8:00 AM is not a business hotel! For the value, a very high price Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"It was ok"
If you are looking for somewhere clean with no frills this is for u. The elevator doesn't work so you have to carry your bags up 3+ flights of stairs. Awesome flatscreen TV with no cable. I only staued for one night than moved to the Hilton.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good value"
Friendly staff, spacious rooms, reasonable rates. And if you are hungry at night, you can call for pizza delivery located near the hotel (which does not have 24-hour room service). No complaints. Would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Decent hotel at a decent price"
I often travel to the area for meetings and this hotel is near by both the meeting location and metro. It was clean enough and the room was good sized. Bathroom a little small, but it was just me, so not a big deal. Shower faucet needed some repair and I was surprised it had not been fixed. The cleaning staff must have noticed...all in all a satisfactory […] stay at a good price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel"
There are 2 reasons I didn't give the hotel 5 stars. The first being that when I booked the hotel, I booked a King Suite. When we got there the staff was great and the hotel was beautiful BUT when we opened the door to the room there was 2 double beds and no King! So i went to tell them the mistake and of course there were no King Suites left and we […] had to take a queen with no price cut at all. It wasn't a huge deal but its the point of it. The second reason the hotel didn't get 5 stars from me was that there was no continental breakfast and the lowest breakfast option for some scrambled eggs was 15 dollars! I'm not poor or starving but really? I just think a hotel of that caliber can do a nice breakfast. Other than that it was great and the room had some nice amenities (VOSS water and great bathroom toiletries). The staff was great and the type of guests as well, except for the party going on across the hall that filled the hallway with marijuana smoke but security took care of that too haha. It was actually entertaining (so stupid right?). Also it was very Gay friendly but not flamboyant. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY ON THIS PLACE!!!!"
I travel alot and I have NEVER felt so disrespected from hotel personel ever before, they where extreamly rude. On top of that, the bell-hop and the valet parker where the same person.. visually it was nice.. not the prettiest but it was aesthetically pleasing, but when you lay down on the bed it was like you were laying on a bunch of rocks. you could […] find better mattresses at a thrift store. if you're looking for a comfortable night sleep you're not going to find it here. I wouldn't normally write such a horrible review however this place was the worst I have ever been. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
