Yelp.com Review - by Quartknee K.

1.0 of 5 stars. Quaintly historic hotels are one thing but this place is beyond the pale. 1) Sure they used the exterior in a Star Trek episode when they go back in time and pretend to care about Mark Twain.

3.0 of 5 stars. Ok. After having read the 12 reviews, here's my review of some of you who reviewed The Pickwick: 1. If you pay $240 for any hotel room in San Francisco, you're a fool. It's called THE INTERNET. Look…

4.0 of 5 stars. Pickwick is a very convenient hotel within close walking distance to Union Square. Flat-rate parking in the basement with in-and-out privileges (I think it was $29 a day or so). Small gym on the 2nd…

Horrible guest services

I was in San Francisco for the weekend and wanted to know where there was good dining after 1 AM. The gentleman working the front desk was not helpful at all. He first starts off with oh I'm really busy so I...

Great location, but not optimal for business traveler.

Great location, within walking distance of the Moscone Center, BART, Muni, and the mall at Powell. The smoke-free rooms are pleasant, though the contrast between the slightly peeling paint in the fan-less...
