Great location. Beautiful bay view. Clean and comfortable room. Amazing staff. Special thanks to Sharon, who was friendly and helpful.

The Argonaut is in a great location and allowed us to easily reach friends in the Marina, restaurants in North Beach, and many other parts of the city. The staff were incredibly friendly and we found our room comfortable. The filtered water stations on each floor were great and the fitness center was small but adequate. The reason I am deducting a star is as follows: - Our room really needed a deep cleaning. There were marks all over doors/walls and there was mildew all over the grout in the bathroom and some brown drips coming from the ceiling. When I got in touch for help for a quick wipe down, they were very attentive. -I know everyone is doing a resort fee now and the hotel was up front about it, but there’s not enough amenities at this hotel to justify it. -There’s no coffee in the room. Given the aforementioned resort fee, I should not have to request a coffee maker (or slippers!). And the coffee that was brought was pretty sad. If you position yourself as a boutique hotel, you should just put nespressos in the room and call it a day. Other than those items, we had a comfortable stay and the staff were really attentive.

Ideal place to stay to explore city, we stayed for convenience of going on a cruise, nice staff beautiful restored old building and large bedrooms

Booked via Virgin Holidays on a Bed & Breakfast basis. The hotel is well located within Fisherman’s Wharf, is very quirky given its design and nautical theme, its very clean, well appointed and the staff were all very friendly. The room is quite small but was fine for us with a large comfy bed. Breakfast is a choice of continental or a variety of cooked options. Our deal offered the continental only which we found to be more than enough, was disappointing to learn that the specialty coffees were chargeable as filter coffee or tea were the only hot drink included. We chose to eat in the hotel on one night, the food was good however the service was a little slow. The espresso martini was great! Be aware that the hotel bar shuts relatively early which we found strange however there is a bar nearby called The Buena Vista which is open until late.

Really nice hotel designed in s historic red brick building! Loved the interior decorations! Everything was clean and up to date. The staff was very professional and friendly. One employee went out of his way to make us feel at home. His name was Enrique, very nice guy! We would definitely stay here again the next time we return!
