The room is clean, but room 285 the middle cushin in the couch needs repair. The sheets were changed, but one of the days it had tears in it. One of the pillow sheets were yellowed. The guys working the door talk to each other more then help with luggage and open doors. The rooms are large The front desk was quick The location is nice The price is medium

I enjoyed my stay at the Argonaut Hotel! The staff was friendly and they were very accommodating. Location is a bit touristy, but very walkable and easy to get to other parts of the city! A huge plus is the valet parking - parking in SF can be very tough, so that was a big reason why I picked this property. Room was nice and spacious. Overall, a lovely stay!

Very central to all tourist spots. Restaurants very expensive around the area including the restaurant inside the hotel. Easy to get Uber and walkable to Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, Ghirardelli and trolley. Kinda pricey but rooms are spacious. Fridge and coffee available in the room. Will try other hotels next time.
