Limited kitchen ware despite the room have a very large kitchen, could add a salad bowl, chopping board & a frypan so guest can make a meal.

Spacious and well furnished

Beds are very very small and so was the room in general

Good location, quick walk to the White House and all the museums. Free water was great and AC worked well

The air conditioning didn’t work in the room and when leaving we checked under the beds etc to make sure we hadn’t left anything and found a shoe, keyring and basket ball from a previous visitor.

Good distance to sites, museums, monuments. Room a good size

Hot water for shower was irregular, hold deposit for car parking and very expensive car parking.

Monte the manager was very helpful sorting out hot water issues, superb location outweighs all other shortcomings

A bit far from downtown so keep that in mind

Good place to stay in Washington, a little bit outside of the downtown, so it’s more quiet but requires a bit of a walk into the city. The hotel was clean and quiet.

My bed was next to the bathroom and during whole nights some strange noise could be heard from there: a constant and massive humming was the base with something similar to a distant unrythmical clapping. I did not use air-condition during nights, I could not find out what it was. On arrival the lady at the reception was not really kind.

Good location, extremely kind guy at the reception. Great offer the self laundry.

The bar closing at 10pm! Souless - nobody using the facilities - but then, it's pricey. Rooftop bar didn't have a bar and wasn't open very often, and access was a pain

Room was good, staff friendly, clean

Stayed in July 2025

No instructions on breakfast/dining in the hotel or surrounding area. No fridge in room, especially when it was really hot outside. A bit too far from metro for carrying suitcase.

Very close to Whitehouse and other places of interest. Concierge was helpful and friendly. Room spacious and clean. Coffee in room was nice.

The shower head was small and didn't spray well

My room had a kitchenette, which made it easier for me to freeze breastmilk on my trip, making it easier to transport back home.

Could have done with more amenities like drinking water and better Wi-Fi

Good location, spacious and clean rooms.

The Beacon Hotel offers a decent-sized room and a great location in DC — a solid choice if you score a good discount, as we did through Booking.com. However, a hefty $400+ incidental hold on arrival felt excessive, especially considering the overall experience. Service was functional — smiles were hit and miss. The hotel feels dated, with few modern touches. Basic amenities were oddly missing: no fridge in the room (though one was eventually delivered after request), and no facilities for boiling water — not even a kettle. That said, an iron and board were available, so practicality wasn’t entirely overlooked. Room servicing also needed multiple reminders, which was disappointing. For a property in this price bracket, you’d expect more attention to guest comfort and fewer follow-ups needed to meet basic expectations of a 4 star hotel. The room key demagnetised about 4 times. All in all, the Beacon has location and room size going for it, but falls short on warmth, upkeep, and convenience. Would recommend only if you’re prioritizing space and can grab a strong deal — and don’t mind chasing for the details. It is a 3 star hotel with limited 4 star aspirations. Ps.: the internet connection was shockingly bad. Slow with constant drop outs, so if you’re planning on doing some online work involving regular zoom meetings or a bit of Netflix and chill, you’ve better make your own arrangements.

Location was excellent.

Comfortable bed. Nice place to visit the National Mall.

Room should really have a fridge or minibar, especially during the hot summer months.

Nice comfortable hotel, about 20 minutes walk to the White House. Good size rooms and good facilities.
