Mr Beasley was remanded in custody and appeared at Court yesterday and will appear at Oxford Crown Court on November 24.
The Tree Hotel is located in the heart of Iffley Village and it has a licensed bar and separate restaurant on-site.
An eyewitness guest said: "The events of Monday night are out of character for the establishment which is well known for its good atmosphere, great food and fabulous staff."
It is an offence to possess an imitation firearm in a public place unless the person can prove they have lawful authority or a reasonable excuse.
