Fodor's Review:

The Upper West Side's best buy for the price is three blocks from Central Park and Lincoln Center, and footsteps from Zabar's gourmet bazaar. All of the generously sized sea-green rooms and suites include marble bathrooms, kitchenettes with coffeemakers, pots and pans, stoves, and microwaves. Closets are huge, and some of the bathrooms have Hollywood dressing room-style mirrors. High floors have views of Central Park, the Hudson River, or the Midtown skyline; the staff here is especially friendly and helpful. The Hotel Beacon makes a nice choice for exploring a different corner of New York in a safe, exciting residential neighborhood. Pros: kitchenettes in all rooms; heart of UWS location; affordable. Cons: rooms emphasize comfort over style.
