Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

My primary issue was the cleanliness of the room. My window was dirty and there was something sticky on parts of the floor. I also took issue with towels/detergent used to clean them. When I arrived to the hotel, I went straight on the shower to wash off airport germs before exploring the city. Immediately after drying with the towels, I started itching uncontrollably ( I contacted front desk regarding this issue). As a result of this discomfort i could not enjoy my first night in town and had to shower at a friend’s home. I also am displeased about the refreshments. I believe additional water should be provided when housekeeping cleans the room.

Our stay at the Beacon Grand was exceptional. When we checked in Veronica was friendly, professional, and very helpful. We were also impressed to see management, Leif Abram, greeting guests in the lobby! The room was clean and provided a impressive view. We felt safe. The location is ideal for sightseeing, dining, and shopping at Union Square. We did not need a car and walked to China Town, North Beach, and to the SF Museum of Modern Art. We could not recommend the Beacon Grand more highly! WE WILL RETURN!
