The bed was super comfy with a down comforter & down pillows. There was lots of drawer space, and a huge old enamel bathtub - great for a hot soak after being on my feet all day! The front desk staff were very friendly and courteous as well.

Great location near the theater district and the moscone center. Great staff but aging building, super thin walls, and the bed/pillows were soft. In addition the bathroom had a tiny sink and crooked toilet that was hard to sit on without hitting your knee on the side wall. The king room itself was a good size with a huge walk in closet. Good price for San Francisco.

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.
