The Argonaut is a great place to stay, easy access to all the attractions, The Blue Mermaid has a great menu, we had multiple meals there and enjoyed everything. Staff is great, any questions just ask. Would easily book here again for a future trip. We have stayed in all the major chain hotels on the wharf over the years but the Argonaut is the nicest by far, had a great 3 night stay! Thanks

Mixed bag. Great location, especially for Fisherman’s Wharf. Walking distance to trolleys, Alcatraz ferry, and more. Nice hotel but not much in terms of extras or amenities. Some staff nice, some not. They told us we’d have to pay $75 extra to check in before 4:00 pm! Totally ridiculous when the room is sitting ready!!! Most front desk staff were not particularly friendly. They have a restaurant, and we went to get drinks and no one came to serve us. We told the hostess who said someone would come soon. After 15 minutes we left. Totally rude. There is no reason to stay here except for the location. Side note - sadly lots of restaurants have closed in the last few years in the area. It’s so different than it used to be.
