A bargain for SF, but some wear & tear and noise
The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was okay, but it's clearly an old hotel, and wear and tear (stained carpet) was noticeable. The walls are thin, so it was hard to fall asleep when a loud group was in the room next door (talking loudly and laughing until 1 AM and again at 5 AM). The shower needs repair since the handle didn't work well and the shower head had little pressure.

The fire alarm went off on our floor at 4am no one called no one said anything for the inconvenience. All of us who were staying on this floor assumed it was an Emergency went down and then the front desk (gentleman) told us it went off but everything was fine. Check out was also at 12pm and one of cleaning ladies came in when I was changing at 9am. She knocked our door once and then opened the door. I definitely didn’t appreciate that either.

There were two false fire alarms which deprived me of my sleep. Both times I had to take the stairs from the 4th floor to the ground floor. At my check out I asked for compensation and was told that the manager will contact me by phone or email.

Paper thin walls
The walls are paper thin. You can hear the next room like you were in it. My neighbor came home at 3am with company and it sucked !! There were at least 20 homeless people living around the hotel so the streets smelled like piss, but they were very nice homeless people so I didn't feel unsafe.

The building itself is very old and in desperate need of renovations. The walls are paper thin- I could hear everything the people in the room next to me were saying, and they weren't that loud. Metal surfaces are rusty, there are cracks in the walls, and the bedding had numerous stains. The lights flicker and the TV had buffering issues. On my second night there, the fire alarm was triggered at 4am and everyone in the building was forced out due to a false alarm. I know that is no one's fault, but Ive never seen that at any hotel before. If a bunch of us weren't sitting in the mezzanine, waiting for the fire department, I wouldn't have known there were vending machines. The only reason Im not giving it one star is because the staff was very helpful and friendly (although there was usually only one person running everything.) You get what you pay for, I guess.

Avoid this place
I chose this hotel solely due to its proximity to Moscone center. I understand its an old building but effort is needed, the hallways and room really show their age. The parking is a joke, there are limited spaces and is grossly over priced. Finally, the smoke alarm went off at 4:30am and we had to evacuate down 7 flights of darkly lit stairs with no response from hotel management. Fortunately, it was a flase alarm. At least the bed was comfortable and the bar was cozy.

Excellent customer service at great price
The Pickwick Hotel was central to a conference I was attending and was exactly what I needed during my trip. The people at the front desk and the housekeeper, Marie, were always so friendly as I came/went and they were even kind enough to let me do a late checkout (2pm) my last day there - which I cannot tell you how much I appreciated, as I was also grieving the recent loss of my twin sister and just needed that extra time before facing the day. Thank you Pickwick Staff!!! I'll definitely stay there again next year for my conference.
