Beacon Hotel & Corporate Quarters

Hurricane Matthew

Unfortunately we had to cancel our reservation due to heavy rain, traffic, wind,etc on the route. The manager did agree to refund part of our money. We were disappointed that we weren't able to make the trip.

Disappointing

It's in a good location just north of the heart of Washington DC.

I was in town for 6 nights for a SHRM conference and this hotel was very disappointing. Why is it that more expensive hotels charge extra for wifi while it's free at lower-end hotels? An extra $15/day for wifi. Ridiculous! They were a little stingy with the towels--I only had 2 bath towels in my room. Most hotels provide 3 as standard. The bathroom was small and laid out oddly. The toilet was against the same wall as the bathroom door, facing the sink, and was very close, so getting up was a little awkward. The shower didn't have a door so a lot of water ended up on the floor. I reserved a king bed but the bed I got was no bigger than a queen. I had to ask to be moved to a room with a king bed. The staff was neither friendly nor accommodating. The published breakfast hours were up to 10:30 but when I tried to enter the restaurant a little after 10:00 am the staff said they were closed until lunch. The examples of their borderline-rudeness are too numerous to list, but very few on staff were friendly. Oddly enough the exception seemed to be the housekeeping staff.

This site says it has free parking which is not true it was ok but wouldn't stay there again breakfast is 16 dollars for cereal and muffins internet is also expensive

The excellent restaurant with good cuisine and fair prizes

The parking lot was full all weekend. The signs in front of the hotel weren't clear to us (foreigners): we thought there were no parking restrictions but we got a ticket

Location

Room has a smell, and did not feel clean.

Localization

Staff do not always react for your requests.

I was able to check in early.

There was no hair conditioner or body lotion. Staff repeatedly told me that they would look into a problem and didn't follow up.

Convenient location
