This is the third time I’ve stayed here at the Argonaut. It is always a cool vibe and I feel very safe as a single woman staying here like this time or when I have brought my kids with me in the past. It’s the perfect location and very welcoming. I will stay here my next time in town as well.

$75 overnight parking fee
I found the $75 overnight parking fee completely outrageous. They also charged me $35 for a 'guest amenity fee', for which I don't understand the purpose or reason. So, I paid $110 over my booking price. I find it outrageous! Also, when I was checking in, the person behind the desk told me that I would get a $50 credit to use at the restaurant, which we did eat at that evening, but we never got the credit.

If you’re traveling to San Francisco for tourism with kids don’t look further. This is the perfect hotel in terms of location. Everything is in walking distance, cable car, pier 39, Lombardi street etc. nice view of the Golden bridge from the rooms on the 4 th floor. Room is spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. The restaurant on site is expensive but so is everything else in the area. The breakfast was definitely worth. We would not stay anywhere else for a family vacation in SF.

Great location
Great location in the wharf and super convenient if you have tours planned as they mostly go from the wharf area. Excellent room and communal area. Quick check in and out. Appreciated the $15 daily credit to spend in the restaurant. We used the restaurant for breakfast a few of times and it was very nice.

Our flight got delayed so we missed our first night. Unfortunately we could not be refunded. Location was perfect, on Fisherman's Wharf next to Ghirardelli square. Breakfaat at the hotel was good. I had avocado toast. There are lots of restaurants and touristy things nearby. Our room was spacious. Bed was comfortable.
