Southold Vacation Packages

The host was wonderful and very responsive. She even offers extended check out which was great. The listing could be a bit more detailed on the apartment. It appears to be a place to rent rooms but the whole apartment was offered. There is a camera IN the apartment which was very uncomfortable as I felt like I could not get comfortable for the time I was there and being watched I could not enjoy the living room. Other than that I have no complaints.

The hotel felt modern, clean and spacious. Slightly noisy at night but that's Midtown. Couldn't access the hotel bar either night because of private events. Staff were polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful city views and lovely room and lobby area.

I love the Beacon and have nothing but praise for it and the staff. They are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are a nice size for a New York City hotel and the in-room kitchens are wonderful. Our only disappointment is that the heating system it was difficult to use and ineffective. We were not able to adequately heat the room in spite of turning the temperature gauge up. The comforter was relatively thin and we were very cold during the night.

Heads up on the non-refundable rate: they mean it. I booked 5 months out and tried to cancel 3 months out, and they said no - even though the hotel ended up sold out that weekend. I've never had another hotel refuse a cancellation that far ahead, so book the flexible rate if your plans might change. Once I arrived - it's a good location if you're out all day. It's close to the Hewes St. and Broadway subway stops, but it's still a ride into Manhattan. The lobby's cool and sometimes has free wine. The area looks a little grimy, but there's foot traffic at all hours, so it never felt sketchy. My main complaint - the walls are paper thin. I could hear my neighbors talking, their TV, and even their shower. The subway noise didn't bother me. Housekeeping is loud in the mornings too, with slamming doors, talking, and music in the hallway. The room itself had dead bugs by the window and a bedframe that wasn't clean. The bed was a bit too firm for me, but not awful. Overall it was a fine stay, but I wouldn't return, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for business travelers or anyone sensitive to noise.
