A lovely place. The nautical theme was great- though definitively not Ralph Lauren-like. Think Betsey Johnson, very colorful and funky (the animal prints bath robes & socks are crazy!). The room was very clean, beds were firm but comfortable. The tube TV was okay but I guess I expected a LCD/plasma TV considering what I paid for my stay. Toiletries... more

The location of this hotel is great. The bus, street cars, & F-Line are right there. All the different tour companies are easy to reach. There are so many dining options including In and Out Burger within minutes of the front door. Even the rental car companies are located just a few blocks away. We enjoyed our 7 days in... more

We had very high expectations of the Argonaut - it had been recommended by a friend and we'd also recently stayed at the Solamar San Diego (another Kimpton hotel). I have to say that the Argonaut was disappointing. The staff were polite and helpful but some did not seem that sincere and on a couple of occasions they made sarcastic... more

Our recent stay at the Argonaut was enjoyable. The hotel's location was excellent as it was next to the turn around for the cable car line and 2 blocks from the main wharf area. In addition the hotel's service was exceptional. The drawback was the room itself was nothing special. The bathroom was undersized and the furniture and decor was... more

I've always been a huge fan of the Kimpton properties, they're a little more unique in design and service and the Argonaut is no exeption! The decor is nautical but tastefully done. The front dest staff is very accomodating. The concierge gave fantastic recommendations for dinner - she knows her food! The location is a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf,... more

The Argonaut hotel has a very unique atmosphere, everything has to do something with marine. I've never been to a hotel with such strong characteristics. The staff was very nice, the rooms were absolutely clean and quiet. The only thing we didn't really like: the view to the other wall of the hotel. The other's windows are too close, we... more

We only got to spend one night there - the last of a 4 day trip but it really was the icing on the cake. Everything went beautifully - from the minute we pulled up to the valet till the minute he closed our doors to send us on our way. We couldn't have asked for friendlier staff and the... more

We stayed here last week and thought it was wonderful. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. And they seem to love having kids here. But it's not a 'kids hotel' at all. The 5pm wine hour was more suited to the grown-ups while the kids got to have cider and play Wii. The area (Fisherman's Wharf) is pretty touristy... more

We staid in the queen queen room for 1 week. At the time of arrival, we found some white hair on the carpet in our room. The hair was still there at the time we checked out. They did not change our sheets once during our 1 week of stay. They even did not clean the coffee drops on the... more
