The Pickwick Hotel

Rooms were clean. Rooms were non smoking but smelled like smoke. Hallways require major update of flooring, carpet is really old and dirty, and bulging in many areas. Front desk service was great and cleaning staff friendly.

Hotel rooms were extremely small, smelled very old, no breakfast or area around it to eat. Going outside the door the first thing you smell is weed and urine. Very very disappointed. Canceled rest of syay and left.

Lovely people working at this hotel. Old but clean and everytging you need. Right next to union square at great value

Needs a serious upgrade. Location is decent, but it’s time to put money into the place. Staff sort of checked out also. Pay a little more and get a better experience

Hotel is clean Not in a particularly pleasant part of town Rooms very small Thin walls -you can hear other rooms shower /flush bathrooms Lots of exterior noise

Generous 4 star stay. Hotel is nice enough inside, but very dated, carpet in hallways was rolling up, bathroom decor was peeling away and dated. Bed was comfy and amenities in room (fridge/AC/tv ect) were good. Area around the hotel is obviously out of their control, but the need for them to lock the entry door says it all. Much like all of San Fran there is a large homeless population around the area and at night several loiter at the building opposite. They caused us no issues but is worth considering. Good location next to trams and subway station however. Would I stay again? Yes. Would I choose somewhere else first? Yes.

My room didnt have towels or toliet paper in it. I couldnt use the TV. The shower head broke off, and when I tried the shower it flooded the bathroom. Never again.

Outdated, but clean. Noisy, and difficult to park

The Pickwick is extremely run down and outdated. The common areas and rooms have seen better days, and everything feels like it’s in desperate need of repair or replacement. My room was technically clean, but full of “character” in all the wrong ways: a cracked sink, a showerhead shedding broken plastic, and fixtures with the charm of a yard sale. To really drive it home, the room still had an iHome with a 30-pin iPhone connector, which was discontinued in 2012. If you’re traveling with a first-gen iPod, you’re in luck. I stayed here for a work conference that inflated the nightly rate to $373, an almost criminal price for what’s essentially a museum exhibit on early 2000s hotel decor. The average is under $200, which still feels steep unless you have a nostalgic itch for cracked tiles and dusty carpet. The hotel itself felt fairly safe, but the block around it was rough. Let’s just say “street activity” was happening in broad daylight, and I don’t mean food trucks. Would not stay here again.

Rooms are a little dated.
