Good match for:

A lovely stay at Beacon Grand!! The room was so spacious with an amazing view and walk in closet. The bathroom toiletries were so nice and smelled great. Service was excellent and we were always greeted at the door. They have an excellent gym too!! It’s a classic old hotel and it’s stunning. So grand indeed!

The rooms were modern, comfortable, and everything worked well, i...
