Stayed here this month (Feb 12) for 3 nights. We loved every minute of our experience at this property. We arrived in time for the wine hour (complimentary - and none of those sissy little eye-dropper wine glasses - these are the real deal!). Spent 2 days doing as much of SFO as we could fit in, including a superb... More

Given the prices of SF hotels, this one is not off the mark. It's really a fantastic location. You can get on a cable car, or the Embarcadero trolley within a couple of blocks. Right next to Ghirardelli Square too! Loved the wine tasting in the evenings, even though the offered wines were not very good. But when you are... More

The moment we arrived you were met by a very happy doorman followed by smiling front desk staff.The Argonaut is a fairly large hotel but you felt like you were in this small quaint place warm and inviting ,very personal. The rooms are nautical themed very clean... More

We stayed at the Argonaut Hotel for one night in San Francisco before a flight the next day and we got a great rate through travelzoo. We wish we had more time to spend there because it was a great hotel. Our room was spacious and we enjoyed both the hot chocolate in the afternoon and the wine reception in... More

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
