Becks Motor Lodge

What a pity. This hotel is excellently placed in the middle of the Castro and would offer an ideal location for a family visiting the city because of the proximity with public transportation and the liveliness of the Castro neighborhood. It is however very poorly cared. We opened the room to face unbreathable air, stuffy, stinky and awfully humid. AC are kept off when guests are not in the room, and cannot be set below a certain temperature which means that one needs hours to get some relief and get the room habitable enough to stay in. The HVAC broke a few days later and the only option they offered was to leave the doors of the room open to recirculate air! Really? At a motor lodge? Bed sheets had stains and the beds were only approximately done. They showed us an alternative room that smelled of smoke and had the toilet flush not working. Front desk personnel was kind but totally oblivious regarding preparedness and care of each room. A missed opportunity for a place that otherwise has no competitors in the Castro. It would take such a little effort to make of this place a jewel, and instead it is ran as a hostel.

Rooms are stuffy, stinky and awfully humid with inefficient . AC that did not work when we were there. The hotel needs love and help desperately.

Great hotel! Friendly service, very accommodating. Comfortable beds, clean room. Large shower with rainfall shower head. Definitely recommend.

Great hidden gem. Loved the history and the retro style as well as the parking. Super convenient and well maintained. Only recommendation would be to upgrade the windows for a little more sound dampening but on the good side, they do provide earplugs. Would recommend and will stay again

Always a pleasure!

Perfect stay

We loved the location of this property. Close to everything we wanted to do. Our only complaint is the room was very warm and took a long time to cool off. The AC was not very strong, could not lower temp (locked out), and windows are secured to only open a few inches. Would consider staying here in the cooler months.

Included parking for a SF hotel is an absolute game changer!! Adorable property, friendly staff and prime location! I live in San Jose, but will definitely return for more staycations in the city!

Fabulous one-night stay at Beck’s; perfect for a launchpad into an evening of music at Golden Gate Park!

Friendly staff, clean rooms, comfy bed, good shower, great neighborhood.

Stayed here a few weeks ago and the room was small but clean and well appointed. The elevators weren’t working but I didn’t mind the stairs to the third floor. I was going to stay there again this week but cancelled due to their A/C and heating systems being out in a lot of rooms. But I loved the nearby restaurants and the area felt very walkable, though we mostly used Waymo. I would stay again when they get their issues resolved. Very clean and I love that parking is included.

Beck’s was highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The owners are great. The rooms and terrace are very nice. Tons to do and see nearby and lots of public transit options. I would 100% stay here next time m in SF.

The two chairs in room had bad cushions.
When sat in them..you were almost on the floor.

Affordable

The stay was great. No complaints.

The location has good safety features and the staff are friendly.

Such a great location, you park and can walk anywhere.

Decent room for the price, but not the cleanest or most updated room.

I checked out of this motel 8 days ago and they still have not released the hold on my credit card funds. I paid at checkout. I paid the credit card bank charge the next day. But a week later the funds hold authorization that freezes your card funds during your stay until the final charges are billed and paid remains. This bill was settled a week ago. And I might add that it was substantially higher than advertised thru Expedia.

Clean, mostly quiet, but extremely basic accommodation.
