If you REALLY want to stay in walking distance of Beacon restaurants/shops/bars and not fall back to the chain hotels in Fishkill, you can probably manage a night at the Beacon. Room itself is serviceable, not fancy, and reasonably appointed. [although the AC did squeal like a pig all night]. The entrance, hall, and stairs are total skid row, and as many reviews have noted it is not a hotel -- no services at all. And the price, at least on a mid-summer weekend - is simply unconscionable for the value received.
