Charming Boutique Hotel
Pros:

The Beau is a very charming boutique hotel and I’m glad I got to experience it. Having travelled from Australia and being pretty tired I very much appreciated the complimentary Starbucks coffee and great range of herbal teas.
The location was fine for me, not too far to walk to get the hop on / hop off tour at 6th Ave.
The staff were all very helpful too

Cons:

I’m sure not having a lift adds to the hotels charm but it would be great to have one ☺️

Pros:

Proximity to Gas Lamp district

Cons:

Portable air conditioner was noisy and not expected when paying decent price for a hotel room. Had to turn off at night due to noise.

Stayed at The Beau Downtown for a short one night staff were great, friendly, and overall helpful.
Pros:

Stayed at The Beau Downtown for a short one night solo stay for a running event. Staff were great, friendly, and overall helpful. Appreciated the willingness to help with luggage with the stairs and highlight the amenities at the hotel. Really liked that each floor at its own coffee, tea, water and ice station (haven’t experienced this at other hotels). I had a room with a double/queen bed which was clean and updated. I needed to stay close to Amtrak station and Gaslamp which made this hotel a great location. Would recommend.

Cons:

My only feedback for my stay is the hallways have an open air concept which during my stay there was a heat wave so made it a little warm. Room had AC for relief. I wish hotel room at a mini fridge and a few more options for TV channels. Even a fridge just to keep a few beverages cold would be nice. Since it was warm weather I bought drinks I wanted to be chilled to keep myself hydrated and the small ice bucket couldn’t accommodate. Since TV only a had couple of local channels, I did appreciate it was a smart TV so I just switched to YouTube.

Bon emplacement et bon prix MAIS ...
Pros:

Le style de la bâtisse et des chambres a un certain charme. Murs de briques et salon à l'anglaise. Il est possible de prendre gratuitement un café sur la terrasse commune le matin.
L'hôtel est situé dans un quartier animé, il y a de nombreux restaurants à proximité.

Cons:

La fenêtre des chambres donne sur une étroite cour intérieure. Aucune lumière naturelle ne pénètre dans la chambre. Elle en devient triste et même oppressante. La photo sur le site de Booking n'est absolument pas représentative. Ce fut une déception.
Nous avions sélectionné sur Booking une chambre avec bain et il nous a été dit qu'il n'y en a pas !

Pros:

Location and ambience. Good breakfast. Good service

Cons:

Not a huge issue but it is a walk up property- no elevators . Only 2 or 3 floors so manageable.

Room was clean and maintained. It’s ok for one night but would probably choose something better. Bed and pillows were un
Pros:

Room was clean

Cons:

The parking was difficult to find and there were a lot of homeless around the property. Room was very small and there was no body wash or soap in the room. Also bed was noisy and hard.

Pros:

Чистый номер, кофе на этаже, вода в доступе. Отличное место расположение. Вполне удобная кровать

Cons:

Номер был только с искусственным освещением, о чем во время бронирования не было сказано. Достаточно плохо проветривался, а если включать кондиционер то шумно. Wifi плохой.
