The Argonaut Fisherman's Wharf is this funky nautical themed Hotel in a Fabulous location. The moment you arrive at the door, friendly staff are there to greet you with enthusiasm you cannot help but fall in love with the place. The hotel was under some renovations during our stay, however the disruption was minimal during the day. The rooms are... More

A huge hotel with huge rooms, though it never felt like one of those impersonal, highly professional only places - the people are warm and friendly, starting from the guy who welcomed us at the doorstep. The design is very nice, while modern and with all conveniences one might need, they've retained some of the old structures, like wooden beams... More

We just got back from San Francisco and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Argonaut Hotel. It's in a nice area of Fisherman's Wharf and an easy walk to shops, restaurants, the cable cars, the piers, etc. We really liked the afternoon hot chocolate and the free wine tasting every day at 5 pm. The staff were very friendly and... More

The hotel is very nice, clean, and close to a lot that you'll want to do (easy to catch a cab, walk to shops or ride the trolley into Union Square). The walls are a bit thin, so we heard our neighbors most of the night (I'd suggest bringing a white noise machine if you want to cancel that out).... More

One of the nicest hotels we've stayed in..... EVER! From the minute you walk in you realize you are not at a "normal hotel"! This place just was different. We are local (east bay), and still felt like we were tourists in our own city in this hotel. With a nautical theme in full effect through out, it is a... More

The Argonaut has a nautical theme. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, the bed comfy. We could hear the couple next door talking so I am thinking it could be a problem if you had late nighters next door. Every night at 5:00, they offer a wine tasting and on Saturday there was appetizers. We really... More

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
