Truly caring service when we needed it most
Pros:

We recently stayed at Beacon Grand Hotel and had a really memorable experience.

First, I want to highlight Jojit from the front desk — he was incredibly welcoming, kind, and genuinely caring. After a very difficult day, arriving at the hotel felt like coming home. He lifted our mood right away and made sure everything with our room and stay was smooth and comfortable. His level of hospitality really stood out.

The entire team was very supportive, and the service overall was excellent.

The next day, we had an unexpected emergency and couldn’t return in time to pack our belongings or check out properly. We called the front desk, and the housekeeping team carefully packed absolutely everything for us — even the smallest items I was worried might be forgotten. Everything was handled with so much attention and care, and we truly appreciated that.

A big thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond.

The only small note: we used valet parking and requested EV charging. It seems the car wasn’t fully charged as expected, which slightly affected our plans later. Just a small suggestion to double-check charging requests in the future 😊

Overall, we are very grateful and would definitely stay again.

Great location, nice and new rooms, great staff.
Pros:

The lobby is really amazing, and the new decor of the rooms is really nice. Location is really incredible. The food from the restaurant downstairs is also great (but not cheap). The staff was really wonderful

Cons:

The bathroom has a sliding door, that when closed It was almost as if it was open. It wasn't comfortable.
There was room for improvement in the cleanliness (most of the room was perfectly clean, but if you look beneath the sink, there was old dust).

A Perfect Stay Thanks to Jojit
Pros:

I truly want to express my admiration for the receptionist — an absolutely wonderful man Jojit who helped us during a very stressful situation that occurred earlier in the day. His kindness, warm smile, and genuine support meant so much to us. He was incredibly polite and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable. A truly exceptional person.

The hotel itself is absolutely unique, with stunning architecture and beautifully designed interiors. I would also like to give special praise to the restaurant located right in the lobby — the food is absolutely delicious, and the service is outstanding.

I highly recommend this hotel to everyone. It was a truly memorable experience.
