"When Beck's first opened its doors in 1958, its room rates were five dollars a night. A few decades, management teams, and upgrades later, and the hotel still celebrates its mid-century style with bright colors and quirky signage rising over Market Street. Beck's offers free parking — a rarity in compact San Francisco. Modern-day travelers continue to flock to this independent hotel for its friendly and hard-to-beat Castro location." - Travel + Leisure Editors
