Outstanding service! Angel is amazing - so thoughtful and considerate - anticipates all of our needs, gave great recommendations, etc, Even if you pay a little more for Argonaut compared to some other hotels near the Fisherman’s Wharf, you will not be disappointed! Got for it and you’ll thank me for the recommendation. We will definitely come back!

A great location! We enjoyed the historic feel and proximity to Ghirardelli Square and Fisherman’s Wharf! Did not feel much enthusiasm in terms of hospitality and the room was small with a strange shower. The lobby and restaurant were very nice! Would recommend if only for the location; but definitely not a luxury hotel! History buffs will enjoy the adjoining Museum and there is a nice Wine Tasting Room in the same building!
