    Bringing in the New Year!

    My stay was magnificent with all of the extra amenities. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed the shower. My coffee machine broke; however, I ordered a delicious latte. I am surprised that a well-established place like Beacon Grand is not using Keurig. I was told there would be some complimentary items; however, the message I received was not shared with incoming staff. The items included water, wine, and charcuterie board. I only received the water. The Starlight was star lit!

    Great old but updated grand hotel. The Starlight room on the top floor is an stump accommodatio and location are great.

    The room doors are a bit heavy because they are from the original hotel. The pillows are very soft. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The overall accommodations and location are wonderful. The staff is very attentive. The. Starlight Room is the best view in the city.
