Recently stayed at the argonaut in San Francisco. It was a beautiful property. It was very clean in the room and in the common areas. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The concierge was AMAZING! She helped us plan 3 days action packed so we didn’t miss a thing! We ate at the restaurant 2 times and the food was good. Wait staff was friendly. The location of the property was right on the action of fisherman’s wharf. Will definitely stay here again.

6/10 Good

An expensive stay for the standard of hotel really. Located in a very busy touristy area. Good location for boat trips and Alcatraz I guess. Rooms on the sea view get the street noise and amplified average standard street musicians playing well pass 9pm. Breakfast okay but slow service. Rooms okay if a little gloomy and lighting poor. Probably wouldn't stay here again and look for a hotel in a far less touristy location of San Francisco which is quiter
