Wow, what a fantastic hotel! We were only here one night, - spent the rest of our San Francisco visit at the Omni to be closer to Union Square. From the check-in, everything was top notch. The lady at check-in was friendly, cheerful and very helpful. Our room was ready at around 1pm when we arrived. Our bags reached our... more

Spent one night at The Argonaut and wish that we could have stayed longer. We even missed the free wine hour but what the heck, the staff was so pleasant and not in a superficial,' I don't mean it' kind of way. Valet was on top of their game and was very helpful with directions or anything we might need.... more

Fantastic hotel, fantastic setting and fantastic city. Loved the Argonaut - very homely and the quirky rooms were so comfortable. We had the best view and the staff were always polite and friendly without being intrusive. Definitely a city and most definitely a hotel we'll come back to again. No complaints at all. Highlight of our trip to US. more

What a stay, great service from start to finish. The staff is beyond compare. When my flight was very late and my limo cancelled because we were too late coming in they contacted the limo company and made sure they were there for me. (Our 25th wedding anniv) They comp'ed us a room service dinner so we could just relax... more

After 5 nights at the Argonaut Hotel I am happy to give this charming hotel a 5 star review. Simply put, the Argonaut has a great location with easy access to public transit, a genuinely friendly, courteous staff and well appointed, spotless rooms. The Fisherman's Wharf location is very touristy and probably not suited for most business travellers, but for... more

We read the reviews on tripadvisor before booking our hotel for a 5 night stay in San Francisco. First the good points. The room was very comfortable, it was a good size and it was immaculately presented. The bed was very comfy. The staff were very friendly and did their best to deal with queries about where to eat, where... more

Most of the reviews here are very accurate; however please beware that per management, there are a number of rooms that are not properly sealed between the rooms. Basically, it is a historical building that was renovated and where the interior walls meet the brick need to be sealed properly. I was one of the unlucky ones. What this means... more

Excellent location on Fishermans Wharf for everything to do with the water and piers and terrific staff. Rooms are all a good size and the hotel is close to tram links over the hill to the city. Nautically themed which we thought was cute and kitch at the same time. We wouldnt recommend the place if city-life, or gay-life was... more

We stayed 4 nights over Memorial weekend. SF was hopping! Ours was a mother/daughter trip, with 2 girls turning 13. We were in a double queen room which was spacious and very attractively decorated. We really enjoyed the hotel which I chose based on TA reviews. I have to comment on the noise first. Having read the reviews and while... more

My husband and I stayed at the property from May 25 through May 28, 2008 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were thrilled with the location, which is right by Fisherman's Wharf and next to the Hyde and Beach Cable Car line. The hotel has clean and spacious accommodations, great amenities, but mostly, noteworthy hospitality that was shown to us... more
