Guest Score 1 out of 10
Very Poor
The location and housekeeping staff were very friendly and made the effort to acknowledge guests and wish them a good day. They were a highlight in providing good customer service compared to the front of house staff.
Front of house staff made you feel you were an inconvenience for them. They were more interested in what was on their mobile phones than acknowledging or greeting guests. The view from the room of a “courtyard” was a roof with a few pots with succulents in them which wasn’t appealing and you just looked at the rooms across the courtyard which considering the price paid for the rooms at this hotel it was disappointing. They charge an early checkin fee when told other similar rooms are available just not yours.

Very nice hotel walking distance front fisherman’s wharf, Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, Hyde Powell Cable car, Marine Museum and beach. Beats the hustle and bustle of downtown, with easy access to that via cable car or driving on your own. We loved it. Caught a Giants game as well.
Zero complaints.

Always had wanted to stay at this hotel in the midst of touristy Fisherman's wharf. You cannot beat the location - walk to the Presidio, Ghiradelli Sq and of course the entire wharf area. Hotel is clean, luxurious and if you don't mind the cab or cable car ride to downtown, a more relaxing and scenic stay compared to the hotels around Union Square. Did not disappoint!
Restaurant was pricey

The Argonaut is in a lovely old building which very much reflects the areas past industries of fishing and canning and the museum is an added bonus. It is also very close to buzzing areas like Pier 39, Alcatraz tours and the old Tram system. Our rooms were great with an ideal view and although not together horizontally they were one above the other. The rooms were very comfortable.
I don't think there was anything I didn't like but it would be helpful to have an up and down indicator for the lifts on the landings. Also the shower which operates by pulling a stopper on the tap is not ideal.

Lovely hotel and lovely big twin room that you can move around in. Beds very comfortable and very quiet - even with the saxophone player blaring out from across the road.
My biggest issue was the lack of a kettle to make tea. Having to use the pod coffee machine for boiling water means that the tea just has a lingering taste of coffee. It would be great if hotels could provide a small kettle.
