A tasteful historical hotel nested near Union Squa
I usually stay at Marriott across the street, and I was happy to book this historical hotel. The room was perfect for one person business travels, with comfortable bed, tasteful deco, thoughtful design. The service and atmosphere at the Post restaurant and bar were superb, and the food and drink impressive. I will stay here again.

Vallet stole our phone
The stay itself was OK they were drums going most of our time in the room from the protests. We’ve all later car paid $75 for valet just for the valet to steal a cell phone from the car, we had a location services turned on this phone and it kept going from the parking garage to the hotel. They were telling us they had no idea what we were talking about.. we walked down to the parking garage, and in that time it made its way back to the hotel and then somehow ended up in the car after we searched the car for over 45 mins . This made us feel so unsafe and like we could not trust this expensive vallet and ended up taking the car early cause we didn’t trust our things being in there

6/10 Good

The reservation was for VIP. My 2 drink vouchers were not given at check-in. I had to ask for them. They were nice to drop them off to my room. The person that checked me in spoke very low I really had a hard time hearing him. It came with bottled water which is always a plus. The bed was comfortable. Though several protesters at Marriot were loud. The room was not bad, the clock is broken. The restroom was beautiful. The room was average, the price was high. Location was great. Close to union square.

4/10 Fair

Impossible situation
Good hotel, with excellent roof top bar and lobby bar. The stay was impacted by demonstrations from 7am to 10pm outside and despite being on the 9th floor, was incredibly noisy in our room. Rest was impossible given we had just completed an 11 hour flight. An impossible situation for the hotel and its guest's.

Lovely stay at Beacon Grand
Stay was nice - the protestors across the street were a drag. I had to move to an interior room to get away from the noise. It's very loud. Liked the location, near Union Square; bathrooms are pretty tiny. Staff were all very hospitable and accommodating. The bar/restaurant was better than expected. A welcome surprise.

Last minute booking and they were able to fit me in. Theyve done a grand job on refurbishing a beautiful old hotel, keeping all its grand finishes and character. This was a great stay for downtown SF

We loved the room, location, and hospitality of the staff. I utilized the gym and the facility was fantastic. The starlight bar was very cool! The check in and out process was seamless. We were also able to leave our bags after checkout as we weren’t quite ready to head to the airport.

Great bars & location
Loved this hotel especially the bars. One bar on top floor and one in lobby — both had incredible drinks. Top floor bar had amazing views and drinks, but the service was lagging. The shower leaked all over our bathroom because it had a very small glass “door”
