Good breakfast and lunch available at the blue mermaid restaurant and lovely outdoor seating area for when the weather is good.
Room dimensions meant it was quite long and not that wide with just one window at the end, so less natural light than we would like ideally

Staff are courteous and attentive, and the hotel is clean & located in a great location for walking to attractions.
My room's view wasn't good.

Great location to public transport and local attractions.
Property was fine. Maybe slightly pricey for the room but the location is what you’re paying for.

Argonaut went above and beyond for our recent birthday stay. The room, location, staff, amenities, restaurant, etc. were first class! Always on our list for return visits.

The Argonaut Hotel is in a wonderful location, right on Fisherman’s Wharf. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Bed and pillows were super comfortable, and despite being in a busy area, it was a quiet and peaceful experience.
The restaurant hotel, The Blue Mermaid, left a lot to be desired. While it’s convenient for early morning grub, it’s overpriced for the quality of food you receive. You do get a $15 daily credit during your stay, which is helpful, and the service is decent. But there are better food options nearby for less (the Buena Vista, for example).
My only other critique has to do with the general “perfume” of the hotel. I was surprised at the distinct smell emanating from the lobby and hallways on each floor. It wasn’t an unpleasant smell, but it was really strong on certain days. As someone who’s sensitive to perfumes, this was a drawback for me.
While I appreciate an environment that smells good, I prefer to not have distinct scents super prevalent in the hotel I’m staying. This is just personal preference, however, and may not be a negative to everyone.
