Can't beat the location of the Argonaut. Walking distance to so many great restaurants and sights..and classic cable car boards right next door! Hotel restaurant is excellent for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Super comfortable rooms, great bedding, and the huge lobby with fireplace is perfect spot for morning coffee or late cocktails! Our 3rd time here, and we will definitely return.

We had a great stay at this hotel. It was close to all of the fisherman‘s wharf attractions, and lots of great restaurants were nearby. The hotel itself is very clean and modern. Early check-in was available for us which was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again!

The aircon shuts off at night when you are sleeping. I ended up waking up so many times just to turn the aircon back on. I had terrible sleep during my stay. Will not stay there again.
4-night trip

4/10

The staff was unhelpful; they played on their phones the entire time and were not interested in assisting the guests. Don't bother valet parking, they just park it in the garage behind the hotel, save yourself the money and park yourself. This hotel is in a good location but next time I'll save myself the money and park stay somewhere else.

The hotel's location is fantastic for sightseeing, with easy access to attractions and restaurants. However, the cleanliness and comfort didn't quite match the price point. A bit disappointing in that regard.
