When you "cruise into" this "appropriately nautical" "boutique hotel" "in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf", expect "Kimpton classic" "whimsical decor" and a "funky vibe" complemented by a "personable and extremely polite staff"; the "eclectic" rooms are "smallish" but offer "L'Occitane bath products", while the daily "wine happy hours", "free parking for hybrid cars", "fantastic bay views" and "wonderful" location "a block from Ghirardelli Square" add to the allure.

Location. Amenities. Internet.
Bizarre decor.

We found this hotel to be wonderful in enough ways that we will return. If you do, you get the worst rooms, and there is lots of variation. Ours was next to a daily garbage collection routine. The decor is bizarre and unsettling. The location, value and staff are great. ...read more

Overall my wife and I enjoyed the hotel. It was nicely decorated, had very friendly service, and clean. The decor matches the Fisherman's Wharf area. Our only complaint was that the walls were thin. We could hear our neighbors television like it was turned on in our own room. We could also hear every door. If you're a light sleeper, you may want to consider another hotel. ...read more

Restaurant too expensive.

I would highly recommend this hotel to family and friends. It is well located, nicely decorated, clean, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room was very quiet and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. ...read more

Bartender made our adult beverage from scratch-delicious! Friendliness of staff.
Room slightly small; unruly children in lobby taking up all the space
at the fireplace, leaving trash & parents essentially absent.

We enjoyed our stay except for the heavy rains. The room was a little small but the staff were very friendly. It's not the hotel's job to police customer's children, but a wet afternoon was spoiled by their antics. It was my hsbd's first trip to SF & he enjoyed it very much. I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again on our next trip. Hope unruly children stay in school & not accompany parents. Ha! ...read more

Location; free wine for 1 hour in lobby each evening.
Room was extremely small.

Our room was smaller than those found in most European hotel. We couldn't pass each other, one had to step aside. My suitcase didn't fit between the end of the bed and the desk - I had to lift it over the set it on the floor next to the bed. ...read more

Great location, cleanliness, and a friendly staff.
Parking cost too much.

The Argonaut sits in a great location, right on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, with a wonderful maritime theme. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. There are a host of amenities, including spa treatments, brought right to your room if you like. ...read more
