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.

We loved that it was so close to everything. Transportation was a plus. Love the uniqueness of the hotel. It was an old buildings but kept up very well. Only issue we had was the parking. Though it was on the property I don't understand why we had to pay as it is not a resort.

Room was dirty and had hair all over. Sink was clogged. Parking was the worse. It was hard to find and limited space. My car was moved all the way to the end so the staff had to move all the cars to get my car out. That was about 15-20 min. Was waiting to check out and none of the staff greeted me to help me check out. Mind you, there were no guest waiting to be helped. Waited about 5 min until I said something. Too many homeless around the property.

There was an extremely loud machine grinding mouning sound that shook the room all night. The front desk didn't and told us they couldn't do anything about it. And the room was dirty. I don't think they ever cleaned under the bed

The staff at the Pickwick at so friendly and accommodating. The building itself is older, so it’s not a modern hotel but the room itself was nice and the bathroom was updated. The hallways could use a little love, but overall it’s a comfortable stay. It is downtown and conveniently located to many different things like restaurants and shopping.

The bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way we had to slam it shut or it would pop open after being shut. Also the lobby was so hot, my party was trying to hang out down there one night since the rooms are so small and we all had sweat dripping down our faces. It was too uncomfortable and our night ended early because it was miserable to try to hang out down there.

The Pickwick Hotel was a great stay in SF! Close to Union Square, transportation for Cable Cars, BART or the MUNI were only a block away. We visited the wharf and went to a baseball game with ease. The staff was VERY friendly and helped us to find the right transportation. The rooms were very clean and great. The SOMA Restaurant next door was also great. We will stay here again!!

After reading the prior guest reviews I expected the hotel to be old, but in good condition and clean. I was not prepared for this hotel and WILL NEVER stay here again. The AC "worked" but did not cool the room at all on an especially hot San Francisco weekend. We requested maintenance the morning after we checked in but it never got any better. The carpets were beyond filthy. I did not want to walk barefoot in our room. The paint in the hallways and our room looks like it was completed 30+ years ago. There were huge scuff marks all over the walls like no one cared and the paint was peeling all over. The toilet looked like a toilet you would see in a gas station not a "nice hotel". The hotel could be nice but needs a major overhaul. On a positive note, it was nice to be able to park in the basement under the hotel and the front desk and cleaning staff were very nice and helpful. Please also be advised that the hotel is near "The Tenderloin" and some routes take you thru less than desirable areas.
