The perfect place to stay when visiting San Francisco. It’s advertised as an airport hotel on Expedia- not recommended. It’s over 10 miles from the airport and the traffic in and around San Fran is ridiculous. To be safe you would need to allow 2 hrs travel time.

Very central to all tourist spots. Restaurants very expensive around the area including the restaurant inside the hotel.

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!

We lived the Argonaut. Perfect place to explore the City. Pristine clean, comfy beds, good shower, and very convenient. My daughter however, had a bad experience because the room next to her was extremely noisy. With kids and parents. She barely slept for each of two nights. I felt very sorry for her since our experience was so different. Buyer beware I guess. I would have complained but she is not that person.
