Shannon, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The Argonaut has seen better days.
We first visited the Argonaut about 20 years ago and liked the hotel. Unfortunately it hasn’t changed much at all since then and looks tired and in need of modernisation. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food good. However it’s hard to ignore the dated accommodation and lack of the finer details that many other Hotels have.
COLIN, 1-night trip

Wonderful hotel, convenient location
Everything was excellent except the down pillows were not comfortable
cliff, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff
A really friendly welcome from Isaac on reception on our arrival got the holiday off to a great start. The room was large and very comfortable. All the staff were friendly particularly the guys at the front door. We ate in the Blue Mermaid restaurant which had a wide choice of food and drinks and had great atmosphere. Location was great close to Cable cars, Blazing Saddles bike rental and only ten minute walk from Alcatraz tour boat. All in all an excellent hotel for a short tourist stay in San Francisco.

Great spot close to all the shops and tours gor Fisherman's Wharf. We had a "courtyard view" room - which was a view of the neighboring rooms, but great spot, nice little restaurant/bar attached (we just had drinks, so can't comment on the food).
