Coventry Motor Inn A
good, basic motel, offering large pleasant rooms with bay windows,
located on the Marina’s “Motel Row.” It isn’t beautiful, but it’s
functional and reliable. All rooms are no-smoking, and parking is
complimentary. A minimum stay may apply on some weekends. Beck’s Motor Lodge This
standard 1960s motel is handy for the Castro, the Lower Haight, and the
Mission. It’s one of those no-frills, what-you-see-is-what-you-get
places, simple and very serviceable, and quiet, given its prime
location. Free parking is a plus, and cable TV, too. 2222 Market St 415 621 8212 No air conditioning

rooms. Floral wallpaper and traditional furniture give it a homey feel.

fireplaces, and antiques. Free parking and a no-smoking floor. Marina Inn The
charm of a San Francisco Victorian awaits you here. The marble lobby is
the focal point of this four-story hotel built in 1924, and the sitting
room is the setting for Continental breakfasts. After a day’s
sightseeing, return to the inn for afternoon sherry. San Remo North
Beach’s biggest bargain is full of charms. Each room is decorated with
antiques, and the corridors feature brass railings and hanging plants
