We had such a great experience checking in thanks to Jojit! He was incredibly friendly and welcoming and went out of his way to help me get a room on the same floor as my sister, which I really appreciated. He made the entire check-in process so easy and was genuinely kind and helpful. It was such a great way to start our stay. Thank you, Jojit, for taking such good care of us!

I can't say enough good things about our stay at the Beacon Grand. It is perfectly located for sightseeing and had a good variety of places to eat within walking distance. The hotel is gorgeous and every staff member we encountered was so friendly and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay the best it could be. We stayed in the Grand One Bedroom Corner Suite and it exceeded our expectations. Our room was so spacious and well appointed with wonderful views from every room. We also went to the Starlite Lounge during our visit and the views there were phenomenal as well. We loved the atmosphere, our drinks were fantastic and our server was so kind and attentive. Our stay at the Beacon Grand could not have been any better and we will definitely stay here on our next visit to San Francisco.
