Excellent location and very spacious!

This hotel is on the upper west side. They are converted apartments and a perfect set up for our family(wife, myself and two kids under ten years old). Five blocks from Central park and across the street from Fairway market which is extraordinary(the famous Zabars market is 4 blocks north as well). Several blocks to the subway(don't be afraid to use the subways-easy to navigate once you understand the grid). Great diner for breakfast two blocks north-The Broadway Diner... plus innumerable others. We simply enjoyed walking all over and would strongly recommend Central Park(for kids especially), Museum of Natural History(Dinosaurs), Empire State Building, and the two day double decker bus tours that allow you to get off and on. I was raised in New York and still love to go on these buses. We also rented a car and went to Brooklyn for a day. New York is also the safest I have found it in many years-we took the subway right up thru the Bronx to Yankee Stadium. Will return to Beacon(only problem is that some people live there full time and cooking smells can be at times a little.......also, rooms not fully up to date) Still--really great arrangement overall. Second visit to the Beacon. The employees were all excellent.
