Cute hotel

Enjoyed my one night stay! I was attending a concert at Oakland Arena and chose this hotel because of the price, proximity to dining, and close to BART (which I ended up not using to get to the venue but if I did, this would have been close by). The hotel felt really secure, either requiring a hotel key to get into the building or having to be buzzed in by the front desk. It’s definitely an older building, but would definitely consider staying again.

The hotel is very old and the rooms can feel a little bit claustrophobic. However, the workers were very friendly and responsive.

I love historic hotels and I’ve been curious about Pickwick for a long time. The front desk staff were top notch. Professional & friendly. I always felt safe, even though it’s supposedly a sketchy neighborhood. The bed in my room was insanely comfortable. But. I was disappointed that a Superior King Room w/ City View had only dirty windows onto an alley. I was jarred awake at 1 am by neighbors having loud carnal relations next door. Listen, more power to them. But I could hear every word they said. Not yelling. Talking. The walls are thin apparently. And what a grand beautiful place this could be with a coat of paint and a carpet steamer! It’s a shame really. I feel like SF is making a come back & I’m sincerely rooting for Pickwick to be part of that. But someone needs to give the place some love.

The staff was super nice and helpful, the area around is very walkable with lots of dining and shopping options, the only thing that wasn’t excellent was the bathrooms, they’re a bit outdated but still fully functional. Overall a great experience!
