Beacon Hotel

Misrepresented as a hotel. It was a room in a short term stay building. Smelled like smoke and was very hard to access. We actually left after dinner and went and stayed with our daughter. Didn’t feel comfortable there.

This is not a Hotel. There is no one on site, no lobby, no services. It is a collection of individually locked rooms in 3 story walk-up building. Loud window A/C unit, small double bed. Location was great.

The keypad lock to the “hotel” was broken. No code was needed anyone can walk in and out easily. There were weird stains on the comforter. We will not be back.

When I booked this property, I didn't realize that it was a rent-by the day room. Were placed on the 3rd floor; no elevators! If we knew this earlier, we would have cancelled. No one to talk to on premises, to ask for a second washcloth, etc. Hallway was dirty. Parking was across the street in city lot. The room was clean and quite usable, but we were disappointed in the facility. Location was excellent-right on Main St.

Be aware! This is really a short term rental masking itself as a hotel. If it was advertised as a short-term rental it would be fine, but the entrance along with the cigarette smoke is pretty disappointing. It is however in the heart of downtown Beacon. Weigh your options and read all the reviews.

Access from street was bad. Address was not clear from the entry and the same address in adjacent storefront. Then the access to the room through several poorly marked doors was confusing. Once I got to the room all was OK for price range.

If you REALLY want to stay in walking distance of Beacon restaurants/shops/bars and not fall back to the chain hotels in Fishkill, you can probably manage a night at the Beacon. Room itself is serviceable, not fancy, and reasonably appointed. [although the AC did squeal like a pig all night]. The entrance, hall, and stairs are total skid row, and as many reviews have noted it is not a hotel -- no services at all. And the price, at least on a mid-summer weekend - is simply unconscionable for the value received.

In addition to the many comments that this is really a short term rental not a hotel, the condition and quality of the hotel and room is poor. Good location however.

If you have any mobility issues whatsoever, this cannot be the place for you. A very old building they are trying to make charming. They have a lot of work to do. Good for 20-25 year olds that need a place to crash.

Room was nice. Right on Main Street. A little warning. This is a converted apartment house, the Lobby is up one floor from the street and then the units start on the next floor. So our unit was on the third floor, which meant it was a four floor walk up. My wife has a bad knee and it was more than she could handle. There was no working in unit control for the air conditioning. There was coffee, but no cream or sugar. Clark's, the restaurant downstairs, doesn't open until lunch. There is, within 2 blocks, a great diner. If the walk up is not an issue, then I would recommend this place.

Nice area clean apartment

The room itself was lovely: clean, nicely decorated, comfortable bed. Nice amenities: coffee and bottled water. The bathroom was very nice, with high quality fixtures. My only negative is that I didn't realize I'd be hauling my suitcase up three flights of stairs.

The Beacon Hotel was not a hotel. There was no check in, lobby or common area. It is an old apartment building which is being converted to hotel units. There was no contact person in the building. My husband and I are both in our seventies, and we had to climb a full flight of old wooden stairs each time we went in and out of our room. To report a problem, we called a number and left a message. Then we waited for someone to call back. The room was comfortable and clean.

Clean and looked very nice

I knew that the it was not a normal hotel. I was ok with that. The hallway was dirty and smelly. The room itself was clean and had a refurbished bathroom. The fridge was great and they even left me some bottles of water. The building is in a construction zone. I stayed there two nights. The first night I was awaken to drilling at 5:30am. The second morning they waited til 8 to drill.

Weird entrance with a terrible stench, between humidity and cigarette, completely out of sync with the price charged for the property. Broken lights, only partially fixed for the second night. A panty liner wrapper left into the bathroom. No phone number to call to contact anyone at all (had to Google it). Frankly a disaster, I can only recommend to stay away from it despite the excellent location. Bathroom had accessibility bars everywhere - yet it would be entirely impossible to go up the stairs, enter the room and cross the room corridor with a wheelchair.

The keypad lock to the “hotel” was broken. No code was needed anyone can walk in and out easily. There were weird stains on the comforter. We will not be back.

pros: great location, clean-enough room Cons: building is gross and smelly, 0 human interaction/service, bed is not comfortable

The room was not cleaned. The bed sheets were not changed. I found dirt and hair while checking the bed. Then I took off the pillow cases the pillows were stained yellow

Terrible all around. Problems included ((1) no staff at all on hand/had to key in a code to access property and one's specific room (different codes) and not at all intuitive how coded locks worked/very aggravating; (2) AC and regular heating unit didn't work at all; (3) TV could not get regular live network channels (quite the issue during baseball play-offs); (4) there was a VERY LOUD street fair type baazar going on immediately outside windows when I checked in; and (5) not toilet paper dispenser (fortunately toilet paper was there just not on a roller). I would never ever consider staying there again...

It was an overall good stay. The condition of our room was not terrible, but there was a lot of weird quirks. The bathroom sink couldn't run for more than 5 seconds. A majority of the shelves were broken. And the Wifi was really bad so the Roku TV was pretty much useless. Also, there isn't anyone to talk to or any phone number if you have concerns. So good thing nothing bad happened. Message to management: clean/ fix the rooms. fix the wifi. fix the sink. and at least include a help number in the check-in email in case the visitors need it. Thanks!

Adored Room 5. The bay window area is so wonderful and the bed was luxuriously comfortable.

The room was centrally located and pretty quiet at night. The microwave and fridge were great amenities to have especially since there's so many great restaurants in the area. The shower water pressure and bathroom stock was great. It was just a little uncomfortable from a climate control and toilet perspective The toilet was low flush / non-functional, and we had to watch a YouTube video to figure out how to fix / declog. The AC also was non-functional during the 70 degree day.

This is the second time I’ve stayed here, love how it’s centrally located, super comfy bed and great bathtub!

Great location, enjoyed the little fireplace.

Great location. The room was wonderful.

The best thing about this place is that they accommodate a single night stay (other hotels have a two night minimum) and they are right on Main Street across from wonder bar which is great. It reminded me of when I was much younger and lived in a tiny studio apartment in the east village Less great things: The building you have to navigate through to find your room smells of cigarette smoke and restaurant kitchen odors My room was adjacent to the outdoor dining of a restaurant and it was super noisy There was no corkscrew available in the room so I had to run out and buy one The AC wouldn’t come on when I tried it

Enjoyed staying here everything was clean staff emailed pretty quickly n acct dated me on my extended nights

This more on an air b and b then hotel. The location is amazing since it is right on Main St. It was perfect for a place to crash during out brief getaway to Beacon and the price was right. No one on site, questions had to be emailed but the staff who responds is very nice.

Convenient to downtown Beacon. Room was clean with tv, table and stools, chair, coffee maker, toaster oven, iron and board, hair dryer and electric fireplace. The entrance and navigating to one’s room is initially difficult. Entrance and hallways are not appealing and feel unsafe. Once you are in the room, it feels safe. Booking agent and management were responsive to texts.

There is no staff on property and we were given codes. When we tried to get into our room there was another party there that luckily was able to reach out to rectify the situation, but led us feeling horrible for kicking out this other group. Then when we went to sleep the window AC was too small and the room was too hot to sleep in.

Check in was easy

It can barely feel like a "hotel" as it is a room only, with no staff and no common area!

THERE IS NO STAFF OR ANYONE TO TALK TO THEY DO NOT PUBLISH A PHONE NUMBER WE HAD ISSUES THAT WERE NOT RESPONDED TOO

I booked through hotels.com for an anniversary. A few days after payment, I got several emails from the "hotel" stating "outstanding payment," so I couldn't get check-in information. Over three days, I called the number the email provided six times. No one ever answered. I left two voicemails. No one ever responded. I left two emails. Of course, no one responded. I wasn't sure what was happening, but I knew I paid. Hotels.com confirmed it, as well as my bank statement. When my husband and I got to Beacon Hotel (which it wasn't called on the building), there was no way to get in. I tried calling the "hotel" again. No answer. Luckily, a cleaning lady for the building was leaving as we were trying to get in. She was able to contact someone who owned the building (maybe by calling a personal number and not the number listed on the website). My husband and I got into our room with her help (and her AMAZING help alone). If we hadn't run into her at the exact moment she was leaving, we wouldn't have been able to get into the "hotel," and our anniversary would have been ruined. It's disappointing for this "hotel" not to have any way to contact them! I will NEVER stay here again!

Great location, and the owner was responsive to my requests.

We loved the location! We came for a family wedding and was walking distance to the venue. Had a great time room was clean and has everything we could need! Would definitely stay here again!

Good stay. Great location. Not too far. Across the street is the Movie theater. Down the road is the river up the road are great coffee spots!

Great and in the middle of everything! Will definitely return. The room was so nice!

My partner and I had a lovely time. The accommodations were as advertised. The surrounding area was wonderful and would recommend this hotel.

This is an interesting location. The only down side is parking and carrying bags up three flights of stairs. But it is walking distance to everywhere and I really enjoyed the short stay there.
