Very modernized style indoors. Overall very clean as well and in a convenient area. About 30 min walking distance from fisherman’s wharf or less than 10 min Uber. Beautiful view from Bar at the upper level and delicious drinks. Customer service over all was amazing.

This is a very nice historic hotel. The rooms are a little cozy, but that is typical of an older hotel. Everything is in great shape and the staff is very welcoming. Recommend!

The Starlite Lounge (21st floor) offers a beautiful view, but the music is loud and a lot of the crowd seems to be partiers--no big deal, but know in advance. And have fun figuring out what the hole in the glass shower door is for--great idea. The staff is excellent and the hotel history is fascinating. Really nice area of the city.

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,!

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!

Door keys kept not working- had to go to desk nearly every time to get in elevator or room- kind of a joke really- I spent a lot of time in line just trying to fix the key cards then it would work then it wouldn’t- both keys same problem

The property is truly an entrance into an earlier era while providing excellent rooms that are extremely comfortable and beautifully renovated. A renovation to their lobby floor tiling would add the final piece of perfection. The staff are extremely helpful and generous in their attention. I highly recommend the property, and would definitely stay again. A visit to the Starlight lounge on the top floor is a must! Breathtaking views and a lively vibe for drinks and conversation and even a bit of dancing.

Room was very small. As a result, what we paid for the room didn't feel like enough value. I did like the water bottles in the room and the option for re-filling. Also, the concierge (Lief) was very helpful and fun to talk to. He recommended a sushi restaurant that was excellent.

We stayed for three nights at this beautiful hotel. From the moment we checked in until the moment we checked out we had a positive experience. The staff goes above and beyond: my only regret was not making a reservation weeks ahead of time for the restaurant: but we will be back!
