Becks Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I took my 14 year old daughter to her first concert at the Castro Theater and we needed a place to sleep because I don't drive at night. I am not familiar with the city, but Hotels.com came through with great reviews. Not being familiar with the area, I wouldn't hesitate recommending this place/area for anyone looking at doing the same. We walked to and from the theater with no issues. Its a very safe area, people were awesome, staff was helpful and lots of food options. You also cant beat the free parking! The room was nothing fancy, but it was clean and cutely decorated with nice products. 10/10, would love to stay here again."
