“Nice stay great location.”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

This was a nice location to stay. We stayed here for 5 days in April. We had a basic room which was good enough for us because we did not spent a lot of time in the room. The room was clean and the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. A lot of reviews say you should stay in... More

“We left our heart in San Francisco”

This hotel has to be one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in, its plush, clean, excellent value for money and in the best location of SF. The staff were so helpful, and friendly, they allow dogs to stay (not that we had one but this in itself is amazing) we were right next door to Blazing Saddles... More

“Avoid room 222 unless you like living in a goldfish bowl, but gererally quite good”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Checking in after a ten hour flight from London I knew there was something strange about room 222 but I could not quite put my finger on it. Classified as a luxury king room it is large and spacious with a large sofa, double size footstool and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom fittings, whilst perfectly functional, were not however...

Hello, IanX, I think we had the chance to speak when you departed the hotel, and I have updated the Kimpton InTouch team about your "no newspaper" preference as you requested. I also reached the Palomar team, who added your member info and promised to set something aside on a high floor for you. I trust it all worked out... More

“Lovely stay”

Wow....had read many reviews, ignored the bad ones & was not disappointed. Fantastic hotel Fantastic location My husband & son thanked me for doing the research & finding such a great spot & such good value for money. We paid extra for a bay view....wasn't a full bay view but could see the bridge & some water & was happy... More

Hi, MelCuzner, I am thrilled to see that you read all the reviews and felt the good ones rang true, with everything 'memorable for all the right reasons' (a cute way to put it!) It is still crab season at the Wharf and the chef has a new salad that is amazing with fresh picked crab on top. It's the... More

“Highly Recommended!!”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Stayed at the argonaut recently for four nights in a bay view room (looking straight at alcatraz from our window) after traveling from Australia. This hotel was fantastic if you are a tourist this is where you want to be, right on fishermans wharf and an easy walk to pier 39 and Alcatraz Landing. The rooms were very clean and... More

Thank you for highly recommending us, 781MelT! I appreciate you mentioning the loyalty club. Kimpton InTouch is free to join, no hidden fees or whatnot. Worth the two minutes telling us about your favorite pillow type etc for sure! I know this was a once-in-a-lifetime voyage, but hopefully we'll see you back here again one day :). More

“Perfect Stay”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

We stayed in the Argonaut during the month of March 2013. While Fisherman's Wharf may not be everyones ideal location, I myself loved walking out of the hotel every morning and seeing the sun shining on the Bay.The location couldn't be better, while the hotel is located on the Wharf it is away from the main bustle. The hotel itself... More

Well, I guess we'll settle for "Perfect" -- what a great word to read! Thank you! We'll let the team know that their friendless was the icing on the cake. More

“Go for the view room!”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

Nice hotel in a PERFECT location in the Fisherman's Wharf area of SF. The road construction out front (while temporary) is extensive -- the whole street in front of the hotel is ripped up and closed basically. Overall, I thought it was a bit pricey, but it turned out to be worth it, I guess. FYI, it's +$46 for valet... More

Hi, Ken! We were thrilled to read that we are your perfect location for visiting San Francisco. As you noted, the road to the hotel is open, though decorated with some interesting equipment. Of course life inside the hotel is business as usual (or leisure as usual as the case may be!) and those water views are still worth every... More

“Great Hotel - Great Location - Friendly Staff - Pet Friendly”

Stayed at this hotel over New Year after Xmas in Vegas. If you want a great hotel in a lovely Fisherman's Wharf location within very easy reach of the trams this is it. The room was very quiet and clean with a light nautical theme and a decent size, (although after Vegas everything would seem small) and very comfortable beds.... More

Hi, Adrienne, I'm so delighted that the your fond memories of the holiday season here at the Argonaut live on. Evening wine by the fireplace is always a hit, and the chowder is always on the menu, too, so we hope to see you again soon! The rooms may not be "Vegas big," but, you're right -- by city standards,... More

The staff were very friendly. The lobby and happy hours made it fun and special. Didn't feel like we were staying in run of he mill hotel. The rooms are clean, nice but nothing special.

Thanks rpmmis! I'm glad you loved the upscale, unique look and feel of the hotel. The cable car is a fun ride after that early morning at the Buena Vista Cafe with an Irish Coffee... food for thought, as they say...Cheers! More
