There was a huge power outage causing us to arrive to a dark hotel. Unable to check in. Had to climb over 7 flights of stairs to a room we had to wait to be let in. Unable to see or get work done due to no WiFi or ability to charge. Was told we would have in and out privileges from parking garage and was denied to leave. Had to pay extra money on Ubers we didn’t budget for. Whole night was a bust. I tried to talk to hotels.com and the manager at the Pickwick hotel and they didn’t give a refund or any accommodation. Super disappointed that I paid to get no work done and further injure my husbands knees on the walk up all the stairs. Horrible experience. Made us feel uncared for and we will not be back.

We’ve stayed here twice now. The price is great for San Francisco. It is an older hotel. It’s a good location, close to public transportation and feels safe. The staff was helpful when our heater wasn’t working and fixed it right away. We’ll continue to stay here for the price and location.

The room we had was not updated in any way. The heater made a loud banging noise every time it kicked in. The bed was alright, but only one chair in the room. The staff was friendly though and the hotel was safe.

Small 2 bedroom room. We thought we would get queen beds but found only standard -- maybe our fault. Staff was excellent, restaurant food was very good, room was clean. We would recommend, at the price.

Overall, a really poor experience and I do not recommend staying at The Pickwick. The room itself was surprisingly noisy and folks in the neighboring room, talking in a normal volume. sounded as if they were in the same room with you. The room also had very poor ventilation/climate control. The thermostat didn’t seem to actually control anything and, to get any ventilation, we had to open the windows and the door to get fresh air movement. Having a vehicle in San Francisco is always a liability, but parking at The Pickwick was especially problematic. The property summary says "self-parking available", but that's not true. Yes, you can drive your car into the adjacent parking garage, but you then have to leave your key with the attendant so your vehicle can be jockeyed around and squeezed in a parking spot in the dirty, cramped garage. When you want to get your car, you give the attendant your key tag and they retrieve it for you. To me, that's not "self-parking"...and it'll cost you $59 a day for the inconvenience. Walking around at night, you get to enjoy watching the “Tenderloin zombies” stumbling around in their chemical-induced stupors. At 6’ 2”, 220 pounds, I found them amusing, but they made my wife (4’ 11”, 100 pounds) uncomfortable.
