Just returned from spending 4 nights at teh Argonaut in San Francisco. The hotel is located on Fisherman's Wharf. The location is excellent. Ghardelli square and Pier 39 are just a short walk away. The service and condition of the hotel was superb. They have free wine in the lobby from 5 to 6 each night, which was nice. There... more

We stayed 2 nights. The rooms were cozy. It felt like you were in a cruise ship because of the nautical themes. Complimentary wine tasting every 5pm (this past week they were show casing Francis Coppola cabs). It was pretty good. The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is so close to a lot of cool spots... more

I went to check out this hotel for a business meeting, but would definitely return as a family. This newer property is on the north end of Fisherman's Wharf and has a completely different feel that the busier part of the Wharf. It juts up to a park where the cable cars turn around (but never heard one smidge of... more

Love my stay at this hotel. It wasn't overly fancy and had a fun, casual feel to it. The staff was extremely accomodating and friendly. They remembered my name throughout the duration of my stay and were very helpful. The hotel also offered a free wine "happy hour" each night that was definitely a perk to staying there. Great location,... more

We stayed at the Argonaut twice in September while travelling around California. Upon arrive we were told that there was an error with the booking and there was not a room. However, they had found us a room in the Sheraton about 4 blocks away, they paid for our night’s accommodation plus refunded our money for the room and gave... more

Good location: opposite to Maritime National Historical Park and next to the Cable Cars. Nice spacious room, good bed, large bathroom. BIG disadvantage: COLD shower. Not only in the morning at 'rushhour', but also late at night. So there seems to be a problem with the hot water supply. We didn't have breakfast at the restaurant, but there is plenty... more

The Argonaut is a great place to stay for families touring San Francisco because it is a clean and hospitable hotel in a child-friendly part of town. The hotel has a nice Maritime Museum inside, and the Cannery with restaurants and Norman's ice cream are literally right outside your window. The cable car turn around, Hyde Street Pier (my kids... more

We stayed at this hotel in August 2009. It is a relatively small hotel on the sea front at Fisherman's Wharf. We dropped our car off at the valet parking outside the hotel and were immediatley made very welcome. The rooms are spacious, very clean and comfortable. The hotel reception staff were very helpful. Between 5pm and 6pm each eveing... more

Recently returned from 3 days at the Argonaut Hotel with my adult son. Excellent experience. Rooms were very large, comfortable and nicely appointed. Location is excellent for seeing all San Francisco has to offer. Bike rental is around the corner if you would like to bike over the Golden Gate bridge. Nice wine reception each evening from 5-6 pm. Booked... more

We absolutely loved staying the the Argonaut Hotel, it's right on fishermans wharf and walking distance to everywhere that side of town. The cable car is in the park right next door and all the tourist busses leave from the street the other side. The hotel staff were really friendly and allowed us to print our Alcatraz booking confirmation that... more
