We picked this hotel solely because of its proximity to an athletic event we were competing in nearby. For our needs, the price was more than we wanted to pay so we thought we'd at least enjoy ourselves. Front door service was warm and friendly, but beyond that, service was pretty average (or less). We gave up on room service... more

We decided to book the Argonaut for our stay in SF after staying in the excellent Muse in NY another Kimpton Hotel. On arrival we upgraded our room ($20 per night v reasonable). We were richly rewarded with a large, spotless room on the third floor overlooking the Cannery. The two queen beds were extremely comfortable and the ensuite had... more

We booked into the Argonaught for the first leg of our Honeymoon epic tour, after reading good reviews on Trip Advisor. We arrived after a long flight, the check in clerk noted it was our honeymoon and changed our room for us. We had to wait 30 mins (spent it in the restaurant!) but it was worth the wait. We... more

We were quite pleased with the location, although the trafiice (both cars and pedestrian) is pretty clogged in this area. We had a room overlooking the spot where you pick up the cable car, which was great so we could plan to go before the line gets tremendous (hint: earlier - before 8.30am seemed the best time). The room was... more

By far the best place that I've stayed while visiting San Francisco! The hotel's staff provided superior service and the restuarant, The Blue Mermaid, has one of the best waiters at dinner time that I've ever encountered. The room was also very clean and had a very comfortable bed. However, when I return to the Argonaut I'll spend a little... more

We went to San Francisco for the first time for my brothers wedding in Sept. '08. A few hotels were offered by the brides family as good places to stay. Not being skyscraper people we did some investigating of the wharf area on the internet. we narrowed it down to the Argonaut and the Hyatt. The Hyatt was booked for... more

This is an excellent hotel. The service is first-rate with all staff having a "can-do" attitude: from the bellhops to the front desk staff. The location is convenient for many touring activities (although some parts of Fisherman's Wharf are a bit tacky). The room was very comfortable. I highly recommend. more

Being our first time in San Francisco, I checked out hotels on Expedia, then checked reviews on Trip advisor. Argonaut was exactely what the majority of people said it was. Great location, staff helpfull and attentive. The wine tasting from 5 pm to 6 pm is a great touch. Will be staying here again. more

Stayed at the Argonaut end of August, family with 2 kids. Since I used Trip Advisor to help make our choice, I thought I should write about our stay. Hotel is in a great location if you choose to stay in the Wharf area. Down the block there's a Ben & Jerry's, Starbucks, In and Out Burger, Mc Donalds, Rain... more
