Had a wonderful stay while traveling for work. Beautiful location and wonderful staff. Do yourself a favor and make a late night reservation for Starlight and enjoy some snacks and cocktails.

Wonderful Service from Angelo the Dooman

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

I want to give a special thank you to Angelo, the doorman at the Beacon Hotel in San Francisco. When I was leaving, he carried my two bags across the street to my Uber without me even asking. I told him I didn’t have any cash to tip him, but that didn’t change his attitude at all. He was still kind, helpful, and professional. That kind of service really stands out. Angelo made a simple moment feel thoughtful, and I truly appreciated it.
