Fair Hotel, above average - it was what we expected. Rooms are fine, services ok. Dining and bar above average (however for a three night stay, otherwise you would look for more choice). Not cheap, but what is cheap in life (esp. in SFO). Concierge restaurant suggestions which we followed could have been better (I am still wondering there must... more

We just returned last night from our San Francisco vacation and I couldn't wait to write a review on this hotel. If this is an example of the Kimpton organization, then they should be very proud. The hotel was terrific, the staff some of the friendliest we have ever encountered, the rooms were sparkling clean, the room service was impeccable,... more

Hotels are expensive in San Francisco, but this had a 4 nights for the price of 3 office with Expedia for when we needed to stay so it made quite a difference in terms of value for money. I would not have gone for a themed hotel anywhere, but it didn't make any difference for us. It has a nautical... more

We have just spent two weeks travelling along the California coast, staying in five different locations. First stop, 3 nights at The Argonaut Hotel, San Fransisco, where we had 3 rooms as there was 7 of us (including 3 teenagers). All the rooms were huge with two double beds leaving more than enough space for a third if nessecary, the... more

Stayed at the Argonaut for a business meeting and had a wonderful time. The service during the meeting was excellent and the lunches were very good. Because of it's central location I was able to get in some sightseeing. The cable car is accross the street, which takes you downtown to the shopping district. You can also ride the cable... more

We booked this hotel based on its rating in several places as being a good hotel for famlies with children. The hotel is certainly servicable and without question has a good location but overall was underwhelming and disappointing. The front desk has a toy chest that children are allowed to choose a toy from once a day. However the toys... more

We have just come back from our journey in California. The Argonaut was the last hotel we stayed in, the last but certainly not the least. We were 3 in our party: my husband, me and my 22 yrs old daughter, so we had reserved the King suite. When we saw it we were almost open mouthed because it was... more

We had a terrific Argonaut experience. The staff and amenities were top notch, the location was perfectly suited to reach all of our sightseeing destinations, and the food at the Blue Mermaid Restaurant was delicious. We are still talking about the unique nautical decor and would like to use some ideas in our new waterfront home! more

This might be my favorite hotel, ever! It is nicely decorated in a nautical theme (okay, maybe a bit over-the-top.) It clearly is a boutique hotel, nothing cookie cutter about it. The rooms are large with comfortable beds, well-stocked mini-bars, robes, interesting lighting, and big bathrooms. The lobby was wonderful with big comfy leather chairs and couches, beautiful hardwood floors,... more
