A Fantastic Stay with Outstanding Service My recent stay at the Beacon Grand, a Union Square Hotel was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by every aspect of this beautiful San Francisco property. Front desk Alma was fantastic!! The room was fantastic – comfortable, well-appointed, and everything we could have asked for. The overall atmosphere of the hotel perfectly captures the elegance and charm that makes San Francisco special. What truly elevated our experience was the exceptional service from the staff. Angolo Perez, one of the doormen, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His warm professionalism and attentiveness set the tone for our entire stay. The valet team was equally impressive, always helpful and courteous. My only critique would be the parking fee – at over $70, it felt quite steep, especially for hotel guests. While I understand San Francisco parking comes at a premium, this seemed excessive for those of us staying at the property. That said, the exceptional service and wonderful accommodations made our stay memorable. Angolo, Alma and the entire team at the Beacon Grand truly know how to make guests feel special. I would happily return and recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Francisco!

Irene

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was lovely. We only tried one restaurant- expensive and the menu was very limited, we didn't try breakfast, the pricing was prohibitive. The hotel had an empty feeling, there was little interaction with the staff, no feeling of warmth, except from some of the door greeters. The check in person was frazzled. The checkout person made an error with our bill. Our room had paper thin walls, we had a woman on one side having the time of her life, moaning and squealing, and two rambunkshus young boys on the other playing chasings early in the morning for a significant portion of our 6 night stay.
