We stayed for 5 nights with our toddler and loved the hotel and overall experience, particularly location. Great room, front desk staff is hit/miss but rest of staff fantastic. Resaurant is OK for food but great staff. Traveling w/ a baby is hard b/c of logistics. So much gear, feeding/ sleeping schedules etc...but it was an easy hotel to stay in for those needs. Only suggestion is a microwave in each room. Also, this is a personal thing, the rooms are very dark b/c of window size. On a rainy day they're even darker. I'd stay again...but only if i got the same rate. Would not have paid list price to stay here. Other drawbacks: the parking...found a garage 2 blocks away cheaper, the tourist hoopla gets old after awhile, paid internet access and finally, no pool. We had a window overlooking the cable car turn-around but did not have problems w/ noise.

The best service of any hotel stay I've made in 5 years, in this country or overseas. The front desk was exceptional, smoothly handling 2 pesky changes I made with no mistakes. The rooms are VERY clean, The beds are new and comfortable, the A/C worked great, rooms are bright when the shades are up, dark when they're down; really quiet, but we were on a Monday/Tuesday, don't know about the weekend. Hotel is in the heart of Fisherman's wharf (not my favorite place to stay, particularly for business) but I'd seek out the chance to stay at the Argonaut again. P.S. we stayed in two different rooms on two different nights and both met the descriptions above. Well done! FW

The hotel was just everything that we could have wanted. View wonderful and very quiet. If we need to be in the city again for an overnight stay, we will certainly return to this hotel. We were very satisfied and happy.

After two stays at this hotel, we can say that it has many nice qualities. The location is excellent, the staff are friendly and accommodating, the rooms are clean, and the beds and pillows are very comfortable. The flaw that we found, and which makes it difficult to really appreciate a stay here, is that the building seems intrinsically noisy. One hears traffic noise, and people conversing on the street, very clearly. Guest activities in rooms above and adjoining are also distinctly noticeable. Even late at night, when the mentioned activity is minimal, the building itself provides a noise background with what can best be described as gonging sounds from unknown causes, and when that is silent, loud cracking noises from the massive wooden beams that support the building. If you are sensitive to your sonic environment, this is a hard place to get a good night's sleep.

Our family stayed at the Argonaut and truly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were very nice and the hotel is very clean. The staff were incredible and really went out of their way to make you feel at home. If or when my wife & I go back to San Francisco, the Argonaut will be on our short list.

The hotel is overall really nice looking, great location. But soon enough we found out the walls were paper-thin. Don't even consider getting any sleep in this hotel - any little noise from the neighbors you will hear as if it was in your room. TV, people walking, people talking, dogs scratching (it is pet-friendly), toilets, showers. People's conversations are not even muffled by the walls, you can understand every word! You will not sleep, I promise.

We were extremely pleased with this hotel. Even though the property was full the first night of our stay, I asked for a room with 2 queens versus my original 1 king and they managed to work things around to honor my request, and the desk clerk was very accomodating. The room wasn't huge since it it a totally remodeled old building, but the decor is so amazing and perfectly atuned to the area that it didn't matter. My daughter was thrilled with the L'Occitane tolietries and the mini bar was well stocked and not extremely over-priced. The location was perfect! A couple of blocks from Ghiradelli Square and a short walk to Pier 39, the Alcatraz ferry, and all of the other Fisherman's Wharf tourist attractions. It is also across the street from the street car turn-around with a fun and easy ride to China Town. The view of the Golden Gate bridge wasn't amazing, but you could see it. The hotel has a specialty wine tasting for its customers every evening and the attached littl mall didn't have a lot but it was a lovely, quaint place to walk.

Location, cleanliness and excellent staff. I liked everything. Excellent location, great view, friendly staff, clean rooms, safe neighborhood, within walking distance to Pier 39.

The hotel was in a great location, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Check in was quick. The beds were very comfortable; had down comforter and feather pillows. Hotel restaurant , The Blue Mermaid had a great breakfast. Pier 39, Alcatraz, and the Ghirardelli factory are within walking distance, no need for a car. There are lots of good placed to eat close by as well: Rain Forest Cafe, Aliotos is a must, fresh sea food markets, and great clam chowder bread bowls. We took the San Francisco city shuttle to and from the airport using the coupon they offer on their website. My husband and I also used the bus to the Golden Gate Bridge and Golden Gate Park. Great romantic get away, place to stay on business, or vacation with the family. I will recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the San Francisco area.

The hotel staff and concierge were excellent, informative and attentive. Went there for 30 year anniversary and they made it a point to take care of us. Location is excellent, right on the bay with views of Golden Gate Bridge. Next to loading area for Cable Cars. A small hotel (old refurbished warehouse next to Cannery Row). Try getting a room on 3 or 4th floor so you can be away from street noise. We had 4th floor and it was fine. Wine & cheese party each afternoon after 4pm was a hit. Good California wines featured and time to meet staff and other visitors. Great hotel without the stuffiness of other 4 - 5 star hotels.
