The perfect place to stay when visiting San Francisco. It’s advertised as an airport hotel on Expedia- not recommended. It’s over 10 miles from the airport and the traffic in and around San Fran is ridiculous. To be safe you would need to allow 2 hrs travel time.

Very central to all tourist spots. Restaurants very expensive around the area including the restaurant inside the hotel. Easy to get Uber and walkable to Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, Ghirardelli and trolley. Kinda pricey but rooms are spacious. Fridge and coffee available in the room. Will try other hotels next time.

I enjoyed my stay at the Argonaut Hotel! The staff was friendly and they were very accommodating. Location is a bit touristy, but very walkable and easy to get to other parts of the city! A huge plus is the valet parking - parking in SF can be very tough, so that was a big reason why I picked this property. Room was nice and spacious. Overall, a lovely stay!

We lived the Argonaut. Perfect place to explore the City. Pristine clean, comfy beds, good shower, and very convenient. My daughter however, had a bad experience because the room next to her was extremely noisy. With kids and parents. She barely slept for each of two nights. I felt very sorry for her since our experience was so different. Buyer beware I guess. I would have complained but she is not that person.
