The room smelled unpleasant upon arrival, so we aired it out. The heating never worked, and it was 10 degrees Celsius at night. The room had five windows, none of which were sealed. There were no extra blankets, and we found someone's clothes in the closet. The trash wasn't taken out daily, but housekeeping was done daily. No one spoke Spanish at reception. However, they did their best and provided good service at the counter. Breakfast is not included, as indicated. The facilities are quite old, although they appear to receive some maintenance. The Wi-Fi is 4G, very slow, but it works. Despite all this, the staff was always friendly and helpful, and the room security was impeccable, even with the car parked. Recommended for milder weather!

Room was clean, comfy bed, great bathroom and shower, also. The little fridge worked great and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff, including Brian the manager who was on-site, were all very professional, kind and hospitable. They definitely make each customer feel valued from check-in to check-out. On top of all that, getting to stay in a well- maintained 100 year old hotel is all definitely worth it.

The room didn’t have heat. They ended up comping the parking. I would have rather woken up in a room that wasn’t 54 degrees. Had to pitch a fit in the lobby to get the parking comped, they definitely weren’t inclined to do anything about it. Wanted me to come back after my checkout to talk to some manager who would be in after noon. Refused to move my check out back an hour til 1. Then just checked me out at 10:30 when I left to go do an errand, even though I told them I was coming back and would check out at noon. Pretty bush league

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 enjoyed the deep soaking bathtub. Very comfortable and clean. Beds were soft and had an abundance of pillows. The breakfast was fantastic. Good selection, and everything was delicious. Restaurant staff were courteous and attentive. Hotel staff were kind and polite. It felt safe in the hotel. A key card is required to use the elevators. We stayed in an accessible room. The only changes we would recommend would be to also have a microwave in the room in addition to the fridge (which was nice and cold), and that the bathroom could use both some wall hooks and maybe a little table for toiletries. If you’re sensitive to sound, be aware that you do hear city noises, including sirens, and some noise from other rooms. It didn’t bother us. Great location to access Moscone, Yerba Buena, and UCSF. Thanks again, Pickwick Hotel! We will be back!
