What makes the hotel special
Travel Gay lists Beck’s with “Walk to gay bars. In The Castro. Budget choice.” It is not a queer hotel, but one of the few places to stay right in the Castro, making it ideal for anyone who wants to bar-hop in the evening.
Rooms and amenities
The rooms are simple, with air conditioning, TV and earplugs. There is free parking (subject to availability) and a lift. Guests praise the location and staff; street noise, thin walls, worn beds and minor maintenance issues are criticised.
A good fit if you …
- want to sleep right in the Castro
- are travelling by car
- don’t care about design
Not ideal if you …
- are very sensitive to noise
- expect a boutique hotel
