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.

Service was outstanding, decor was fun & impeccable, extras were homey (like hot chocolate in the afternoon, etc.)
No accessible parking.

The Argonaut is in an excellent location. The concierge was extremely helpful with any special accommodations available for our handicap son. The doormen were also extremely helpful in assisting us with the parking situation. All staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. ...read more

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

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
