For the Bay area, its quite perfect and there are many bars around the hotel you can enjoy and north beach is 5 mins up the road for great italian food.. The hotel itself is a tad odd, with its marine feel not quite working and i think there would be other places to stay which would better, as this... More

This place is a truly great hotel. It is subtle, yet the whole feel of the hotel is very cosy and welcoming. We stayed for a week. After the second night, at our request we were relocated without fuss to a room with a better view over the bay. Every afternoon the hotel puts on free drinks of wine and... More

Stayed here for four nights. Great location at Fisherman's Wharf, friendly staff and smashing room.only gripe is the poor complimentary drinks facilities, and why you have a coffee percolator in the bathroom is still a mystery to me!!! More

My husband and I used this hotel as a perfect getaway for a romantic weekend. The room was perfectly appointed and decorated in a nautical theme that was tasteful and inviting. Our room overlooked a large courtyard area that featured live music. It was a lovely, peaceful addition to our weekend and we threw the window open wide. Connections to... More

The Argonaut is a great place, and its the spot I recommend most often for visiting relatives or friends coming into San Francisco unless they are the sort of folks that can't handle anything less than Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental type service. Even as a local to SF, we occasionally book a night here to be tourists in our... More

This hotel has a great location, but when we arrived, we were put next door to the renovation rooms. They were wall papering and making noise until 6:30pm so we weren't able to take a nap or relax in our room upon arrival. When I called the front desk they didn't even offer to move us, they just said..."Oh sorry,... More

We loved our spacious room with 2 flat screen TVs. The hot chocolate tasting was fantastic for our 14 year old son. The nightly wine tasting was wonderful to gather with our friends in the lobby before dinner. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our only issue was the absence of a doorman or valet when we returned at night... More

We have just come home from US and stayed here for 4 nights. Beautiful place, but don't make a phone call! They know how to charge. Needed to ring my bank and was on phone for approx. 7 mins. When it came to paying for bill on leaving, they wanted to charge me $138 dollars. When I questioned it, the... More
