The Beacon Hotel - a solid bet
I stayed at the Beacon several years ago and then for four nights recently. They have remodeled and done a fine job. We had a one-bedroom king suite on an upper floor.
Here are pluses, minuses, and general FYI:
Pluses:
Quiet rooms. 
Location (see other reviews for more on this)
Comfortable beds and pillows
Excellent televisions
Our room had three good-sized closets with plenty of hangers
Plenty of storage in drawers. Be careful if you have black items, since the drawers are also black
Free wi-fi
Small bathroom, but good water pressure
Looks like they have plenty of umbrellas to lend, though we didn't need one
Cons:
No bathroom downstairs - under construction
Only two elevators working, and rather slow - the third was under construction
No outlets available in bedroom (they were just too inaccessible), so anything that needed to be plugged in (phone charger and such) had to be used in the living room.
Keurig coffeemaker - not a favorite (but there's a Starbucks across the street and plenty of other coffee options nearby).
Minimally stocked kitchenette, as far as utensils. There is cutlery, a bottle opener, and cutting board, but no knife usable to cut fruit, salami, etc. There's not exactly a place to eat, but we were fine sitting on the sofa and using the coffee table.
Air conditioning a bit fiddly - maybe there was a way to stop it cycling off and on all night but we just lived with it.
-----
The housekeeping staff was very friendly; the front desk people were fine. Late check-out requested and they gave us an extra half-hour. 
They stored our luggage for several hours - looks like many people do that. There was a large room filled with luggage.
No fitness facility, but there's one down the street with a $20 day pass charge. We didn't use it.

I would return to the Beacon and would recommend it.
