Beacon 1750 is a "you get what you pay for" boutique hotel. Even modest hotels near the city center cost at least $300/night, so for $200/night this property met my expectations. First, it's about 2 miles (15 minutes on the trolley) west of the metro/tourist zone in a residential neighborhood. Second, it's rough around the edges but functional. The negatives: the bathroom was tiny, the towels thin, there were no outlets near the beds and the room was clean enough but not immaculate. The positives: the hotel feels very safe, the beds were comfortable and it was very easy transporting to and from "the city".
