Inaccessible entrance made check-in frustrating.

An unexpected culinary delight

The Beacon Hotel was a delightful surprise with its enthusiastic staff and a mouthwatering breakfast at Carter's restaurant next door. We enjoyed every meal and felt truly pampered.

However, the hotel entrance was rather unassuming, causing us to question if we were in the right place. It could use some sprucing up to match the room charm.

The room was secure, providing a sense of safety during our stay.

The entrance was a little hard to locate, and the lobby was ramshackle.

The location was fantastic, just steps away from a variety of shops and restaurants, which made exploring easy. The room was spacious and well-lit, but the absence of a lobby or any staff made it feel a bit unconventional. Also, access was tricky due to the stairs, especially for older guests.

The Queen Room was bright, but the entrance was confusing and unfriendly.

The Queen Room was spacious and filled with light. It was clean and had all the basics you'd need. One thing to note is that there was no elevator, which was a bit of a hassle with the luggage— climbed three flights! But it was nice and quiet too, which I appreciated for my sleep.

The King Room was clean and newly decorated, featuring a cozy kitchen setup with a coffee pot and essential cooking appliances. The location was perfect for exploring local shops and restaurants, making our stay in Beacon enjoyable. John, the owner, was very accommodating and provided his card for any assistance we might need.

No elevator access.

Accessing the hotel is a hassle. the entrance is through a rental property with no clear sign indicating it's a hotel. Climbing two flights of stairs to reach the room was a challenge, especially when lugging bags, and the lack of a true lobby made the stay feel more like a hostel vibe than a hotel experience.

Great central location on Main Street, spacious room with lots of light, and clean facilities. Enjoyed the complimentary snacks too!

great access to culture, eateries, and serene parks nearby

my stay was enhanced by the vibrant local art scene at the baumann gallery just a quick stroll away, and i loved spending time at the peaceful dumbarton oaks park, which was perfect for a relaxing afternoon walk.
