"I wish I did a little more research before booking. This lodge used to be a hostel and still seems more like a hostel than lodge. It would be perfect if I wasn’t traveling with a toddler who wants to get into everything. Location is about a five minute drive from the beach. We saw a ton of deer. It’s a little ways to the shipwreck and lighthouse. Great for trail access. Overall, if you’re traveling with small children or folks who overheat easily, maybe not the best place.

The Pickwick Hotel

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel is very old. I was at Moscone CC West Hall and was convenient to walk to and from - lots of homeless on next block 6th but this one is on 5th not as bad. hotel was safe had to have a key to get in and also to get up the elevator. Water pressure in shower very low. If you need a hotel and that is the area you are in it is good. Bed was comfortable and had wifi - good enough for coming in for work at MOscone"
