Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall, a really poor experience and I do not recommend staying at The Pickwick.
The room itself was surprisingly noisy and folks in the neighboring room, talking in a normal volume. sounded as if they were in the same room with you. The room also had very poor ventilation/climate control. The thermostat didn’t seem to actually control anything and, to get any ventilation, we had to open the windows and the door to get fresh air movement.
Having a vehicle in San Francisco is always a liability, but parking at The Pickwick was especially problematic. The property summary says "self-parking available", but that's not true. Yes, you can drive your car into the adjacent parking garage, but you then have to leave your key with the attendant so your vehicle can be jockeyed around and squeezed in a parking spot in the dirty, cramped garage. When you want to get your car, you give the attendant your key tag and they retrieve it for you. To me, that's not "self-parking"...and it'll cost you $59 a day for the inconvenience.
Walking around at night, you get to enjoy watching the “Tenderloin zombies” stumbling around in their chemical-induced stupors. At 6’ 2”, 220 pounds, I found them amusing, but they made my wife (4’ 11”, 100 pounds) uncomfortable.
