staff support, the most embarrassing and uncomfortable stay i have ever had in any hotel and will definitely not stay here ever again. my partner and were having intimacy around 9-9:30 nothing wild. not sure if the beds are due for a renovation, beds to close to the walls or simply picky neighbors. we were SURPRISED & SCARED with a big KNOCK on the wall like 3 times guessing the bed was making too much noise. we stopped but few mine later around 20-25 min the manager with no questions asked said " you need to keep it down or we will need to ask you to leave!" i was shocked and asked what had happened he said all your neighbors all complaining. i was shocked because were not laud or making a scene. My problem and mad at the property is that they didn't asked me any questions and directly accused of something without any investigation plus i mentioned if it was the next-door neighbor since they knocked on the wall very hard. he said no everyone i was very upset and was honestly forced by the situation to stay there was not going to look for a hotel at 10pm at night. but most definitely will never recommend or be back at that property if there was 0 start i wil give them that made the customer feel in a very hostile environment due to one complaint and no investigation that is very poor service!!! not sure of the managers name but he's a skinny African American guy at the front desk that's all i can remember that he was the one that checked us in our room.

The Pickwick is a good motel option for the price. It is a clean, well presented building and the rooms are good with clean, functional bathrooms. The location is a positive and a negative. It is very close to Union Square so trams are very easy and convenient. This also puts it 1.5 blocks from “The Tenderloin” which appears to be a ghetto with numerous drug addicts all over the sidewalk. Do not walk north east of Market and 5th street.

Old musty smell. Extremely small parking garage, could not fit our van inside so we had to park else where and ended up getting broken into. Desk personel were very nice, but overall did not make up for the poor conditions of the room at all.
