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

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.

 by  anonymous  on  2008-05-18

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.

 by  anonymous  on  2008-04-28

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.

 by  anonymous  on  2008-04-24

Two nights of HELL! Could only get 4 hours of sleep due to guests in room above clomping around on badly insulated floor all night. Second nite was worse. Baby crying in room next door ALL nite. Sounded like it wasin my own room. Walls so thin I coule even hear toilet paper being pulled off the roll in the bathroom next door! For real! i'm not exaggerating! I gave up at 5;15 am and left the hotel before I jumped out the window! This is supposed to be a 4 star hotel but I have never had a worse hotel experience in 46 years of travelling! Stay away from here if you like to sleep.

 by  anonymous  on  2008-04-05

My wife and I spent one night at this hotel and it was one night too many. The "non-smoking" room smelled of cigarette smoke. The bathroom was not very clean and the view out the window was of a flat roof and another window about 20 ft away. The last straw was the noise. We could hear the TV's from the rooms on either side until after midnight and they weren't even on the same channel. I was attracted by the advertizing and a magazine review - the decor is very cute - if you're tempeted I suggest you walk through the lobby on your way to one of the many fine hotels in that section of San Fransisco.
