“Wonderful staff, perfect location”

Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here our recent trip to San Francisco. We splurged a bit for this hotel due to its location and it was more than worth it. The staff was so friendly and accommodated our bags even when we arrived hours prior to check in. We were happily surprised to find a bottle of champagne chilling in our room to... More

“A lovely and friendly hotel”

We thought the Argonaut was a very nice hotel and our room was very cosy. It had a friendly and welcome feel to it. The hotel was in a great location and a short walk from everything. Was across the road from the Cable Car turn around. We had breakfast in the restaurant mainly everyday we were there and the... More

“Great location”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

Just returned from a 5 night stay with 8 people, family and friends, at the Argonaut. The staff was more than helpful and very friendly. The front desk attendants were always friendly and did everything they could to accommodate our needs. The valets were very nice and always greeted us when returning from an outing. Our group really enjoyed the... More

“Fantastic hotel, fantastic staff, fabulous stay!”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Just had a really enjoyable stay at the Argonaut hotel. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, the room was spacious, immaculately clean and equipped with everything we needed; coffee machine with Starbucks coffee, real mugs, dressing gowns, an umbrella (for the changeable San Fransisco weather) and even a yoga mat! Every evening between 5 and 6 is... More

“Excellent Friendly Hotel”

Our 4th visit to San Francisco but 1st time to this hotel. The Argonaut is in a good position in Fisherman's Wharf. It is a very impressive looking building (inside & out) and even though there were road works outside the hotel it did not affect our stay at all. We found all the staff to be very friendly, attentive... More

“Fantastic hotel will def recommend.”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW via mobile

What can I say, stayed two nights in room 262 interior courtyard, room very quiet and bed extremely comfy, this was early in May before joining cruise ship to Alaska. From check in to check out, it was seamless. Staff very helpful, friendly and attentive, road works still going on out front, don't let this stop you. Breakfast in Blue... More

Thank you again, Scottishfiona! I hope that you enjoyed your return visit here with us last night. I imagine that you were amazed to see how much the road has taken shape along the waterfront while you were up enjoying Alaska! Thanks for coming back to us, and I'm glad you loved the restaurant as well. My teammate just enjoyed... More

“You have read it before, but this is great place...”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Not the average large hotel, but a smaller boutique hotel (I prefer these over the larger chains). On the expensive side but if you can swing it it is worth it. Great staff, unique building, close to everything on wharf, walk to anywhere... I do not know if they have spa/pool (so I rated them average)

Thank you, Bamf90266! Please know that we never tire of 5-star reviews, so thank you for taking the time! It's great to hear that you recommend our exterior/view rooms, fantastic crew, and location. It is so nice to be able to walk when in San Francisco! It helps offset all those crab and chowder calories... not to mention the sourdough... More

“Lovely place to stay on Fishermans Wharf”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

mini stay for 4 days- perfect location on Fishermans Wharf. Adjacent to Maritime Museum, across from cable car turn around, 1 block from Ghiardelli Square . Had a room with 2 queen beds- lovely, brick walls, beams in room from original cannery. Would not pay extra for a room "with a view" as there are 4 floors in the building... More

Thanks, GuamGirl53! I am glad you enjoyed a lovely time here and felt the non-view rooms were still a great deal! The construction has been out of view for our 3rd and 4th floor view rooms which overlook either the park and Golden Gate Bride or Alcatraz and the San Francisco Bay. That said, yes, our doormen and bellmen have... More

“Excellent location and worth the money”

Recently stayed here for a week. It is not a cheap hotel, but is a fantastic place to stay. Friendly welcoming service. Pet friendly (with some amazingly well behaved dogs) and offering free wine tasting every day between 5 and 6 are great little touches. A special birthday was celebrated with a free bottle of champagne being sent up. This... More

“Nice stay great location.”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

This was a nice location to stay. We stayed here for 5 days in April. We had a basic room which was good enough for us because we did not spent a lot of time in the room. The room was clean and the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. A lot of reviews say you should stay in... More

Hi, RawDogg! We certainly didn't mean to give you a raw deal with that hold on your credit card; all of our properties do authorize an additional amount to cover incidental charges each night (in-room massage, minibar, movies, in-room dining, etc). We will have to make sure that it is explained more consistently by our new team members. In any... More
