We spent one night in SF and the Beacon Grand was exceptional. Wonderful service all around, beautiful suite, Starlite bar was fantastic and great views of the city, and so many great stores and restaurants within walking distance.

We loved this hotel! It's next to Union Square, across from Sears Fine foods. It's beautiful, historic, and it's even haunted (😄)! The staff were all helpful and personable, the bar area was comfortable with really good cocktails. We ate dinner at the hotel and the food was delicious. We didn't go up to the Starlight Lounge but it's famous for its views. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the room had two queen beds. You could hear the cable cars clang, which I enjoyed. There is underground parking for $67/day, other hotels are $100/day. We felt we got a reasonable rate for our stay from Expedia. We were very happy and satisfied and would stay there again,!

Wifi was spotting throughout the facilities, especially in my room. The floors in the bedroom needed to be cleaned a bit better, but overall a lovely experience.

Beautiful hotel. Very classy and superb location. Post Room has the best cucumber salad I've ever had! And the rooftop view from the Starlight Room is so special (we had amazing Old Fashioneds there). No issues with safety or unhoused people in the area. Bed was insanely comfortable. Just two complaints: the Expedia 'includes all taxes' price doesn't really; expect to pay about $34 USD 'destination fee' per day extra. Secondly, the open shower means you will have a soaking wet floor every day, so request extra towels!
