Excellent choice
We had a seven night stay at the Hotel Beacon in a King suite on the 21st floor. As a couple of seniors who didn't want to be near the hustle & bustle of Times Square, we couldn't have made a better choice.
We had plenty of room, a kitchenette to prepare breakfast & other snacks & an extremely comfortable bed. The neighbourhood was great, so convenient to everything, local restaurants, the subway & Central Park. Having the Fairway market opposite was a bonus and the choice of foods was excellent.
My only criticism would be that the air conditioner was too loud & we had trouble adjusting it to suit us.
A few weeks later we had to return to Manhattan for one night & couldn't get a booking at the Beacon. We stayed in the midtown area in a similarly priced hotel. The comparison with the Beacon was like chalk & cheese. The Beacon was far superior in all respects.
If we every return to NYC we would only stay the the Beacon. We strongly recommend the Beacon.
