The Pickwick Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Pickwick offers great value to families visiting San Francisco. The hotel is close enough to walk to Oracle Park. The area surrounding the hotel is fine. You can walk to Target and Trader Joe’s. The hotel is older but has charm. Don’t expect everything to be perfect and you’ll be happy. Also the breakfast add-on was fantastic and totally worth the money. The cafe next to the hotel provided a wonderful menu. It was an absolute treat that exceeded our expectations."

InterContinental Mark Hopkins by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"A very nice return stay at this historic hotel in the heart of San Francisco. The hotel room was clean and comfortable, and all aspects of the stay ran smoothly. The hotel does charge a Resort Fee and while these are questionable anywhere, one aspect of the fee is a $10 reduction in food bills per room per day which incentivised us to take breakfast in the hotel, which we found excellent - high quality ingredients, attentive and friendly staff and plenty of choice. The Top of the Rock bar and restaurant also feature stunning views and we enjoyed a drink in the evening there. Once again, friendly service, which was attentive, but not overly. One caution is that this hotel is at Nob Hill and as the name suggests, it’s on a hill! Keep this in mind for on foot journeys as the walk home will be uphill!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Gold Coast?

The best time to go to the Gold Coast is during the spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May) months, when the weather is pleasantly warm and sunny, but not excessively hot, and there are fewer crowds.

Spring on the Gold Coast offers comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 27°C, with lower humidity. This period is ideal for couples looking to enjoy the beaches and outdoor activities like surfing lessons or exploring the hinterland without the peak summer heat or school holiday crowds. You'll find it easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants and attractions.

Autumn provides similar delightful weather conditions, with temperatures usually between 18°C and 25°C. This time of year is excellent for families with younger children, as the ocean is still warm enough for swimming, and the cooler evenings are superb for dining out or enjoying the many theme parks without long queues.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Gold Coast hotel for you.
