I stayed at the Pickwick Hotel on business for four nights. It was a pleasant stay because it satisfied the most important things to me. The place is a short walk to the Moscone Center. I found it clean. The staff seemed sincerely friendly and very helpful. My bed was at least as comfortable as any I’ve ever slept in.
That said, it only rates slightly above average for me because of other reasons. The hotel is old and has character. This is not a bad thing, in and of itself, but it is the reason for some challenges. This sink is tiny and hard to access; it made so much as brushing teeth difficult. The electrical outlets are in hard to reach places. I had to pull the plug on the clock, a lamp and the coffeemaker to accommodate my electronics. The bulbs are CFLs and lights were dim. My room had an adjoining door. During the week, I could hear my quiet neighbor’s morning routine. During the weekend, my loud neighbors were watching TV and talking loudly at 5:00. They might as well have been in my room.
I will return to the Pickwick if the price is right, now that I know what I’m getting.
