For all but the most experienced and frequent travelers, being away from home can be a big disruption to a normal routine. Diet and exercise habits are more difficult to keep on the road, and things that would be a minor inconvenience at home — like an unexpected car repair or missing item — can turn into a big hassle when traveling.

Well, as always, we’re here to smooth out the rough spots and help you dodge even minor inconveniences.

Chances are when you visit the Upper West Side, you’ll probably want to extend your time in one of New York City’s most beloved neighborhoods by tacking on an extra day or two. We wouldn’t blame you, and in fact, we want to help!

The comforts of home

As we’ve mentioned before, all of our rooms feature kitchenettes, so you have all the basics to make great meals, store leftovers, and sleep in without any worry of missing breakfast ... or any other meal for that matter. 

Plus, we also have laundry services — all self-service, with coin- and credit-card-operated washing machines and dryers on the fifth floor of the hotel. Only guests have access and you can use the laundry room at any time, day or night, 24/7. Pack with the peace of mind that, if you want to stay an extra night (or five), you’ll have everything you need to feel right at home at Hotel Beacon.

Room to workout

Now that you know your diet and laundry will stay on track when you visit NYC, you should also know we have what you need to keep active and fit during your visit. Our fitness center is equipped with treadmills, ellipticals, a stationary recumbent bike, and a weight machine, so, at least for you, going out of town doesn’t mean getting out of shape.
