Beautiful classic hotel in heart of SF. Only improvement needed is a small coffee shop, or real creamer in the room. Coffee shops a few minutes away, but can't beat coffee in the hotel.

Downtown San Francisco, crazy pricing but that is how it is. Room was clean, everything worked but WiFi was poor and needs an upgrade. All in all when at a conference at Moscone, its a good choice for a hotel - and a necessary cost.

Room was damp, no vent fan in bathroom. The air duct was disgusting. Windows woukdnt open. Super thin walls and ypu could hear everything next door. Shower made a crazy sound when you turned the hot water on. Moulding in the room.was cracked and pld. Smoke detector must have been from 1985 and was yellow. Carpets were dingy and the atmosphere just outside the entrance was rough. Area was less than desirable and cops everywhere. Would not stay here again with my family

First room given smell really bad of mold, I called down to reception and was moved immediately to another room. Loved how quickly it was addressed and taken care of. The only thing I didn’t like was that when I asked front desk if there was anything open around the area to eat I was told “oh I don’t know”. Maybe it’s true, maybe he didn’t know but I think that is something they should know. Just my 2 cents.

We stay at the Pickwick often when we go to Giants or Warrior games. It's a very convenient location. The hotel is clean, staff is helpful, and they have parking.
