We had very high expectations of the Argonaut - it had been recommended by a friend and we'd also recently stayed at the Solamar San Diego (another Kimpton hotel). I have to say that the Argonaut was disappointing. The staff were polite and helpful but some did not seem that sincere and on a couple of occasions they made sarcastic... more

Our recent stay at the Argonaut was enjoyable. The hotel's location was excellent as it was next to the turn around for the cable car line and 2 blocks from the main wharf area. In addition the hotel's service was exceptional. The drawback was the room itself was nothing special. The bathroom was undersized and the furniture and decor was... more

I've always been a huge fan of the Kimpton properties, they're a little more unique in design and service and the Argonaut is no exeption! The decor is nautical but tastefully done. The front dest staff is very accomodating. The concierge gave fantastic recommendations for dinner - she knows her food! The location is a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf,... more

The Argonaut hotel has a very unique atmosphere, everything has to do something with marine. I've never been to a hotel with such strong characteristics. The staff was very nice, the rooms were absolutely clean and quiet. The only thing we didn't really like: the view to the other wall of the hotel. The other's windows are too close, we... more

We only got to spend one night there - the last of a 4 day trip but it really was the icing on the cake. Everything went beautifully - from the minute we pulled up to the valet till the minute he closed our doors to send us on our way. We couldn't have asked for friendlier staff and the... more

We staid in the queen queen room for 1 week. At the time of arrival, we found some white hair on the carpet in our room. The hair was still there at the time we checked out. They did not change our sheets once during our 1 week of stay. They even did not clean the coffee drops on the... more

We stayed at the Argonaut Hotel on Fisherman’s Wharf from June 9 – 13th and were genuinely impressed with all aspects of this accommodation. The staff was excellent and upgraded us to a Bay View room without surcharge. We really enjoyed the wine tasting hour (5 – 6PM) in which the service was top notch and the appetizers from the... more

This review is one year late, but I guess I was trying to give the whole episode I endured a chance to somewhat recede from my memory, but it has not. If you stay here and you valet park your car, please be very careful. On the second day of my vacation last year in June 2008, we went to... more

Our first visit to San Francisco. Excellent hotel with friendly extremely helpful staff. My busband was ill during our stay and the staff could not have been more helpful. Extremely clean and pleasant bedroom and bathroom. Very central - a most enjoyable hotel. more
