Hotel was located in a great area, with easy access to Fisherman’s Wharf. Staff were very helpful. Parking was easy, though expensive if using the hotel valet service. Room was comfortable and clean. Only downside was an accidental fire alarm at 4 in the morning which meant we didn’t sleep much.

This property feels more like a tourism factory than a hotel. Completely impersonal, quite unfriendly check in. Rooms are fine and relatively quiet. But the whole property is devoted devoid of character. Stay here if you want the convenient location, but not if you want a nice hotel experience!

The Argonaut is a great place to stay, easy access to all the attractions, The Blue Mermaid has a great menu, we had multiple meals there and enjoyed everything. Staff is great, any questions just ask. Would easily book here again for a future trip. We have stayed in all the major chain hotels on the wharf over the years but the Argonaut is the nicest by far, had a great 3 night stay! Thanks
