Top El Rio Hotel Reviews

Becks Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near the Castro. Free parking was great. Property well maintained."

Twin Peaks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Tiny little room and thin walls, but tolerably clean and private; good bedding and fresh towels. Wi-fi okay. One shower was broken while I was there, but there were others. No aircon or heater, and window barely opens; the room provided a combination fan and space heater. Recommend you bring a safe extension cord for any chargers; my only outlet was over the in-room sink. Conveniently close to a Safeway, transit connections, and many places to eat. Not bad for my budget; would consider using again."

Parker Guest House San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place. Highly recommend. Thanks!"

10/10 Excellent
