Great value
We stayed at this property in October for a week. Had a king suite, which really was a suite, with sitting room/kitchenette, bedroom and bath. The room was at the rear of the building, which might have been a problem on lower floors (the air shaft was below us); however, we were on the 10th floor and had a decent view to the east, overlooking rooftops. Television in both rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The market across the street was handy for breakfast items and snacks. Only a couple short blocks to the 72nd Street subway.station, where you can pick up the 1,2 and 3 trains. We had previously stayed at a hotel further north, but, nice as it was (with accompanying prices), it cannot compare with the Beacon for value. Definitely recommended.
