Great for a quick 1-2 night stay
Good location for sightseeing but I would not come again. From homeless across the street to constant street noise it was just okay. The parking situation could be improved for guests of hotel. No discount given at…

Not trustworthy!
I would give this hotel a zero rating if it were possible. I booked the Pickwick well in advance (early December) of my conference at the Moscone (late February, 2026). I was traveling with my student to attend the…

Good location, good value
At first glance the hotel is a bit tatty in places and you wonder how things will be. However there are a lot of positives. The location is great with the Powell Street BART station 2 minutes away and a fast, cheap and…

Check your bill - they will cheat you for a crappy place to stay!
This is a terrible hotel! The rooms are old, the bathrooms are weirdly laid out and not functional (the shower head is on the long side of the shower, not the short, how are you supposed to stand under it??), the windows…

Questions about The Pickwick Hotel

What time is check-in and check-out at The Pickwick Hotel?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does The Pickwick Hotel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at The Pickwick Hotel?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does The Pickwick Hotel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does The Pickwick Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book The Pickwick Hotel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
