“Surprises--mostly pleasant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

My sister-in-law and I stayed at Beck's primarily because it was near the CPMC Davies campus, where my brother was hospitalized, and because it was relatively inexpensive for San Francisco. She described Beck's as "straight out of the '50s," which could have been bad news. My first surprise was the man dressed only in a thong strolling ahead of us on the outside balcony ("Don't worry," whispered my sister-in-law, "he's not interested in us--and not just because we're old"). Another surprise was how clean and spacious our room was. And the room remained clean throughout our prolonged stay, thanks to the conscientious housekeeping staff. We kept having to extend our stay, since the hospitalization was unexpected and the course of events unpredictable, but the folks at the front desk were very flexible (they could have been hard-nosed and booted us out). There are lots of nice little restaurants near the hotel (the Indian place right across the street isn't bad), and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. I would recommend ear plugs for sleeping, though.

Room Tip: We were on the third floor, so the bathroom had a little skylight, which was nice.

“More than expected”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 30, 2012

Just got back from 3 weeks business trip in San Francisco. While I was there, I stayed in this hotel. It was more than I expected. Very friendly and helpful staff, room was clean and spacious (got cleaned every day, towels/sheets replaced). I had one single problem with appliances and they fixed it in few hours. So, I am recommending this place to everyone - specially for first-timers in SF.

Room Tip: Any floor beside ground-level is the same.

“Budget choice in the Castro”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

Have stayed here many times. Free parking. Great neighborhood (Castro/Upper Market). F Street Car line stop is right there (unfortnately you hear the noise from the historic street cars in most rooms). Friendly staff. Odd gas wall heaters. You can walk everywhere. Not is the traditional touristy areas. A classic motel. Recommended for the budget minded single person.

“Becks?”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

A friend suggested Becks when I asked for a hotel in the Castro area. A few other friends said "No!" but after looking at the reviews and location we decided to make a reservation. I flew in but my travel companion drove up from San Diego. Having free parking was amazing, we actually never drove the car any of the four days we were there. Public transportation is literally outside your door. This isn't a five star resort, it's a motor lodge, if you're looking for pampered luxury this probably isn't the place for you. If you're looking for a decent place to stay that won't cost you your first born child that is also incredibly convenient to the Castro then Becks is a good choice. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The rooms were clean and comfy. Card access to the upper levels made us feel safe though many people told us it took all the fun out of the place. One humorous note: If you're staying there and using Grndr you will get a ton of messages that simple say "Becks?" If hanky panky is what you're looking for it's available but also easy to avoid and nobody was pushy or creepy. All around I would definitely stay there again next time I am in SF.
