We stayed one night, and had to move to a different hotel for the rest of our stay.
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

Hallways smelled of smoke. Stools and shelves on the walls were broken. Cockroaches in kitchen cabinets and crawling out of the shower walls.

Mostly great, but horribly managed and booking.com was incredibly rude and unhelpful as well.
Cons:

Shower was broken and never fixed. It took the staff more than a full day to respond in any way.

A nice place to stay at rhe heart of a fun get-away town.
Pros:

It was a great location and a nice room with a comfortable bed and good view from the windows.

Cons:

The wifi wasn't working while we were there, but we were given a discount at the end to make up for that. There was no coffee maker or kettle in the room. Instead, strangely, there was a air fryer.

The steps were long and steep, making it a little hard to lug one's suitcase up. But once we got there, it was pleasant.

Will return. Very charming
Pros:

Location. Beautifully designed room. Don’t be put off by the entrance. Our 3rd floor suite room looked out of a bay window to the street. A wonderful kitchen - great bathroom. Very quiet. Peaceful stat!

Cons:

Instructions on entry. Turn left when you go up the first flight of stairs. We couldn’t find our room at first because there is no front desk. Still- don’t be put off. After confusion was over we fell in love with our spacious room that has full kitchen. Manager created a charming collection of goods - a mini store. Very nice for children or if u want a quick dinner.

Ok stay- No contact or help when issues arise!
Pros:

Location was perfect for the wedding.

Cons:

The shower broke first morning and NO ONE got back to us to fix it. Had to rely on family's rooms at other hotels for showers. Not pleased at all.

Made the best of it as that's what we try to do.
Cons:

One room was up four flights of stairs! The second was up one flight of stairs! The posted material on booking.com showed pictures of the rooms but did not suggest the rooms were several flights up & there is no elevator. That's important information that shouldn't come as a surprise on arrival. I'm 81 & my wife is 79. We had no choice on arrival to go elsewhere. The "Beacon Hotel" is not really a hotel but a short-term apartment building. The owner. john, did his best to be helpful. However, he's the one responsible for the misleading listing on Booking.com.

Pros:

Location, cleanliness, the hotel room was nice and cozy overall

Cons:

I couldn't get hot water on the 2nd day, the ac wasn't working and I had texted the management about it but didn't get a response. There was no staff present on the property. Overall the room was nice, but the service could have been better.

Avoid at all costs!
Pros:

We never actually stayed there, they never provided the code for us to get into the room. More importantly there were homeless people sleeping in the hallway so we of course weren’t gonna stay there anyway I would never recommend this place to anyone!

Cons:

I didn’t feel safe in that place. During the night, someone knocked on my door pretending to be security, then when I answered, he said he was the owner. Nothing bad happened, but I didn’t feel safe.
The location is really good.

Not an actual hotel, no value, nice rooms.
Pros:

The room itself, while small, was very accommodating. I enjoyed the nook overlooking the main street that I found myself reading on. I enjoyed the beautiful bathroom, and the fake fireplace was another nice touch. Finally, the location right on main street was a great plus.

Cons:

It could have been better communicated this was NOT an actual hotel. That first and foremost threw me off a great deal. It's basically a hostel. Not having any parking was stressful, there was NO staffing to accommodate any needs. From there, as I walked into the main entrance of the location, it was DISGUSTING. There were open jugs of spackle, filthy floors, broken doors, and creepy lighting. The hallways were incredibly tight to where my bags on my shoulders were scrapping across the walls as I walked in and out. Overall, it ended up serving its' purpose, however, I wish I'd have known this was not a true hotel, as I was paying top tier hotel pricing for it...

Pros:

Terrible all around. Problems included ((1) no staff at all on hand/had to key in a code to access property and one's specific room (different codes) and not at all intuitive how coded locks worked/very aggravating; (2) AC and regular heating unit didn't work at all; (3) TV could not get regular live network channels (quite the issue during baseball play-offs); (4) there was a VERY LOUD street fair type baazar going on immediately outside windows when I checked in; and (5) not toilet paper dispenser (fortunately toilet paper was there just not on a roller). I would never ever consider staying there again...
