“Great hotel for Romance”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We went here on our anniversary and were delighted with the room the accomidations and especially the people that work here they all are very happy and acomidating. our room had a beautiful view of the the San Francisco bay and we could hear the soft claging of the boats and the far away fog horns during the night. Our bathroom was spacious, with a great looking shampoo conditioner and bath gel dispenser. Thank goodness they got rid of those little bottles. All in all we had a terrifc time. We truely experienced what Kimpton hotels seem to be preaching about, happy staff, attention to detail, and a dedication to the environment. Thank you all again

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

person found this review helpful

The Argonaut has a nautical theme. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, the bed comfy. We could hear the couple next door talking so I am thinking it could be a problem if you had late nighters next door. Every night at 5:00, they offer a wine tasting and on Saturday there was appetizers. We really enjoyed the opportunity to meet a lot of the travelers in the hotel over a glass of wine. The location is perfect; close to many restaurants and sites.

“great location but nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

For the Bay area, its quite perfect and there are many bars around the hotel you can enjoy and north beach is 5 mins up the road for great italian food..

The hotel itself is a tad odd, with its marine feel not quite working and i think there would be other places to stay which would better, as this place was just a sleep in a good spot...

One shame was pier 39, what has happended to it? Tacky and cheap its become, fridge magnets, grab toys machines and tacky irish ( yes irish ) souvenirs for sale and lots of other totally irelevant shops/gifts...

what a shame they have sold the charm of this, once before, MUST VISIT attraction..
