8.0A Cozy Weekend Retreat with Exceptional Service — But Rooms Need a Refresh
Piaciuto di piùMy partner and I spent a long weekend at XV Beacon, and overall, the hotel has a lot of wonderful touches that make the stay feel special. We loved the complimentary bath salts, premium in-room coffee, bottled water, and even the fireplace — all small luxuries that added to the experience. The service throughout our stay was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Our first night’s pillows were not great, but thankfully the hotel offers an impressive pillow menu with 8+ options, which made a huge difference. I also forgot my sound machine, and to my surprise, they had one available complimentary. It really feels like they’ve thought of everything a traveler might need. We like to unwind in our room after long days of walking, and this is where the stay fell a little short. The in-room couch was extremely worn and uncomfortable — clearly very heavily used — and the room overall could benefit from some updates. Mooo…, the on-site restaurant, was fantastic. We especially loved their $1 oysters at lunchtime — fresh, delicious, and a great deal. Overall, XV Beacon has exceptional service and thoughtful amenities, but the rooms could use a refresh to match the rest of the experience.
