My stay at Beacon Grand was a delightful experience overall. The rooms offered a cozy atmosphere and the historical aesthetics really added charm. The service surpassed my expectations, making me feel more than welcome throughout my trip. However, I did encounter minor issues with the room's layout and some maintenance concerns that could be improved. The location was brilliant, close to local attractions and great dining options, but the dining experience could be better as I found it a bit pricey for what it offered.

I found the dining options at Scalas Bistro to be quite good but also on the expensive side; there are better and cheaper alternatives nearby.

The hotel had modern amenities, blending well with its historical context. However, a few things could use a little fix-up to enhance comfort.
