Beacon Hotel & Corporate Quarters - Washington

satisfactory for the business traveller although breakfast should really be included at that price. Also disappointed that there was no free wireless!

This hotel was located quite close to the main Washington sites. Dupont Circle and Farragut North stations are quite close if you wish to visit other parts of the city using the subway. The hotel lift did smell a bit funny but maybe that's just my nose! The hotel room had a kitchen but not enough cutlery or dishes which was a shame. One thing I really […] didn't like about this hotel was the fact that you had to pay for the Wi-Fi. For a hotel with Corporate HQ in it's name, it wasn't very work friendly I thought! Lisateave

A fairly nice place that is just a few blocks from the White House and the Metro station. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest I've seen on check-in and the controls for the shower were mounted upside down. And make sure to check your room specifications as we had no tub, just a shower stall and if you have young kids this could become an issue. Valet parking […] is available but rather expensive. But all in all we would definately stay there again if we ever go back to DC. Lisateave

The room thermostat did not function. Had to spend the night shivering under 60 degree cooling.

We arrived before check-in (at 11am) to drop off our things and our car. My friends and I already knew we would need to wait for our room to get ready, and this was not a big deal. The people at the front desk told me that the room would be available by 3pm--which was expected since that's normal check-in. At this point, everything was dandy. We come […] back to the hotel around 5:30pm to get ready for our 7pm excursion into the city. And the room still was NOT ready. In fact it took them about 20 minutes for them to tell us that. For 20 minutes, the person at the front desk told me that he was trying to get in touch with the service people to make sure that the room was cleaned. We did not get into our hotel room until almost 6pm--Three whole hours AFTER we were supposed to check in. It just happened to work out that our plans weren't until 7pm. If we had plans at 4 or 5, we wouldn't even have the option to freshen up in our hotel room. Finally, we get into our hotel room at almost 6pm. While getting ready, I find that the trash from the prior occupant has been left in the room. What amazes me is that they had 3.5 additional hours to clean up the hotel, and still couldn't even do something basic like take out the trash. Oh, and I found the entire front desk staff to be unprofessional. For example, they forgot to take my credit card for incidentals/parking at check-in. And at check-out, they blamed me for not providing it, and took it then. Ridiculous. Do not stay here. There are other conveniently located places in DC, without the hassle of an unprofessional staff. Lisateave

the Beacon is not pretentious and we enjoy it for that reason. The staff is attentive and really courteous. the room is comfortable and spacious. the breakfast cafe is charming.

$12 for 24 hours of internet access that was slow when it worked at all.

TOO MUCH NOISE IN THE ROOM FROM CORRIDOR, OTHER ROOMS, STREET. OLD HOTEL.

I have to been to the Beacon twice and enjoyed my stay each time. The rooms are clean, the staff is attentive, and teh loation is central enough that I can walk to the Metro or catch low-cost taxi wherever I need to go,

Hotel room itself was fine. Bed not as comfortable as I would have liked. The site said the hotel had in-room spa services but when I called to set up a massage, I was told they no longer offer that for at least 3 months. Major disappointment. Tried to get a seat for Sunday Brunch with my party and despite half the restaurant empty at 11:30 AM, we were […] told they couldn't seat us. The hotel never made a point to let us know or recommend that we make reservations for the brunch in advance because they fill up fast. Hotel is highly convenient to the shopping on Connecticut Avenue and Metro just a couple of blocks away. Service overall was just OK. I had to tell Bell captains several times not to try and take my bags outside to the driveway because I was waiting for my transport upon check-out. The fridge in the room was more like a blast chiller because it froze all my sodas and bottled water and there was no dial to regulate it. The room's colors were a little drab. The room I was given was a handicap-accessible room even though I was not handicapped. My friend got locked into the bathroom for a couple of minutes but we were able to get her out. I didn't complain about it because I figured the hotel may have been booked solid but it was a problem. My guests were not crazy about the food on the room service menu and it is sparse with not a lot of options. The spa the hotel did recommend to our party caused on of my party to get her arm put in a sling. Do not visit Body Co spa. Overall, it was OK, but I would seek better options. Lisateave

This was the worst hotel stay in my life. I was on the top floor and there was a staff elevator next to our room. This elevator was very noisy and kept us up all night. Also, the hotel staff was moving large furniture in the storage area above our room at 5 am for over an hour. I called and complained and the staff lied and said it was a guest and they […] would send security. There are no guest rooms above the ninth floor. The staff was dismissive at best. There was construction on the street all morning from 6 am on. We didn't get any sleep. The hotel was in terrible condition. This place has really gone downhill. Lisateave

The Beacon has some of the friendliest staff I've ever come across on the hospitality industry! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

First time stay at this hotel and while I would use again, the room heating units need some refurbishing.

The hotel has a great location and great price that place it only 3-4 blocks from Dupont. The beds were very comfortable. The only downside was that I could hear people talking in the hallway because the walls were not well insulated.

For the price, the Beacon Hotel was fine, not great, not the worst, just fine. I was only going to be in the room for a short time and I had a party that was very close to the hotel so I figured I would try it. My biggest complaint was the hotel's valet/garage was completely full so we had to drive a couple blocks away to park in a separate lot. Because […] we were already running late, this was a huge inconvenience. Once we checked in and got to our room, our key card didn't work. I had to go to the front desk not once, but twice to have it re-programmed. Overall, the hotel was pretty clean and our room was nice sized for a city hotel. We ordered room service and that was quick and surprisingly pretty good. I would stay there again in a pinch but only if it was very convenient to where I was going. Lisateave

The staff was very friendly and the location was great. The only downfall was that the rooms were a little tired.

Nice hotel with good amenities. However the room had a through-the-wall type heater/AC unit. It was quite noisy, controls were difficult to operate and temperature fluctuated dramatically.

It was a great hotel for the price and area. Very clean and welcoming. Front desk staff was not as friendly or helpful as they should be.

My husband and I went to DC for the first time and LOVED the location of this hotel!! Our actual room was well appointed, the staff extremely friendly and the bed was fantastic! However, we would never stay in room #109 again. It was on the ground floor, the bathroom commode area wasn't big enough for a child and the ceilings in the bathroom were too […] low (I am nearly 6' tall). We had a bit of a snafu when we checked in, but the desk manager sent a bottle of wine for our trouble which was nice, but the real trouble came when we tried to sleep. The room was stuffy and people were up and down our hall (housekeeping closet and corporate meeting rooms across-my reason for lower rating on hotel service was the inconsideration of staff during the night) all night as well as fire doors slamming from people coming up and down the stairs ALL NIGHT LONG! We mentioned in a letter to the manager the day before we left and he was so apologetic and invited us back for another try at our convenience. This professionalism alone made us rethink staying there again and we will take them up on their offer next year. Give them a try!! I don't think you will be sorry if you don't have room 109!

We stayed at the Beacon the night before a White House tour. Fortunately my husband woke up on his own because we never got the wake up call I requested. Like most places in DC, service was lackadaisical. We did have a good meal in the restaurant and the waiter was helpful. However, the decor in the restaurant is awful. The elevator has to be activated […] by a hotel key card. I suppose this is for security but it was annoying. Lisateave

Overall, the location was great and the room was good. My only complaint is the weak air conditioning. I had to set my thermometer (which was broken) to 40 degrees to ensure some comfort and keep it on. The room was extremely hot and the air conditioner seemed to blow like a fan vice cool air. With a working air conditioner, I would definitely recommend...without […] one I wouldn't stay there again. Lisateave

Very much an upscale facility, both the physical plant and the operating staff. When a room is available at a discount rate, it is an exceptional value.

The hallways could have been cleaner, the room service menu was limited and the heat did not work.

We had several problems with this hotel, We had problem with the pluming that kept us from sleeping it took three visit from the (Engineer) to fix it while we were dying to sleep, then the Bathroom fan was on( very noisily) and there was no way to shut it off, you could hear it even with the door closed. The pillows were very high and they were all […] the same height. the bedding looked as if someone slept in it before. I asked for a tooth brush and never got it. I was under the impression from Hotel .com that breakfast was included if it was a replacement for Homewood suites but it wasn't. I think I complained enough. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

The hotel room was nice, but the bed felt cheap. I could hear the springs underneath me as I rolled around. Also, they charge $13 a day for internet access. Why can I get free internet at a Holiday Inn Express, but not at a nicer hotel?

Stayed for 2 nights for a Friend's wedding and saved a hundred dollars over other hotels less than half a block away. The room was spacious and the desk and door were extremely friendly. My only complaints are that the bathroom could have been better and the bed was nearing need for replacement. The bathroom, in particular, was somewhat poorly lit (only […] one CFL overhead mandated the use of the heat lamp for decent lighting), the drop ceiling was in need of replacement (gaps and general disrepair), and the ventilation was poor (no exhaust fan). But dion't let me nitpicks dissuade you - I would stay here again. It's a great deal at a great location (thou a little bit of a hike from the nearest Metro stop). Lisateave

Rooms are small and compact, but nice. Did not have issue with outside noise. Rooms are quiet. Staff very nice and professional.

1.The reservation stated " a bottle champagne with welcome to check-in". Didn't get the champagne until called the front desk in the midnight. 2. Didn't makeup shampoo and lotion in the second day. 3. Saw a Cockroach at Sky Bar in the first night, unfortunely a waiter didn't catch it. 4. Room is very small.

It was a nice hotel and I liked the room layout and decor and the neighborhood was great, three blocks to metro. There was a mouse in my room.Probably just a rare situation, I hope. Other than that, great hotel.

The Staff (Seline) is very rude. She rolls her eyes and breathes heavy while standing the corner end of the desk. She is not interested in solving any issues or offering any solutions, but rather just walk away or ask you to call the 800 line while she stares you down. When booking from this web site forget about checking in till after 3 since they […] don't communicate your reservations properly. The hotel do not like you booking from this site. The manager was great but the staff was confused and frustrating. The door men and valet were excellent. Lisateave

The Beacon isn't a fancy hotel, but it's comfortable, reasonably priced, and well located for business in the Dupont Circle area (or, as the street banners now proclaim, "The Golden Triangle).

Great location and pretty good neighborhood. It was just a little far from the center of washington. But the whole area is a hotel area. So tons of taxi, bikes, trains in the area.

Exellent local ,lobby small by american standart but room was the right size and bathroom the same ,staff very nice friendly ,nice and safe place to walk late at night and close to the metro station will go back

So it was my second time staying here. There's never any parking. The parking garage down the block charges half the price they charge for parking. Plus the two VOSE bottles of water where filled with tap water and already open. I drink it by mistake not realizing that I didn't break a seal when I opened the bottle.

The hotel is nice, clean and the location is good. Walking distance from The White House and the Subway is close as well. What I dislike about the hotel is that they don´t provide free internet and breakfast!

I had a reservation with the Beacon and when I showed up there after driving for almost seven hours, they told me that due to the many conferences happening in DC and their influx of customers, they relocated me to another hotel of the same caliber. I was very dissapointed not only because I stayed there a few times before and I considered myself a […] loyal customer, but because I didn't even receive a call to be notified by the change. I had chosen the Beacon based on the distance to where my workshop was and now I had to walk for 30 minutes from the new hotel to the location of the workshop. If I knew of the change, I would have chosen another hotel close by. So, be aware if you plan on staying here. Lisateave
