The food, drinks, and ambiance were excellent, but the service…holy moly! Our server George went above and beyond for us during our dinner. He even brought over a rose for us to cap off the night. Many thanks to George and staff at the restaurant.

Unforgettable Stay with Exceptional Service – Can't Wait to Return!

We had the most unforgettable stay at this hotel and are absolutely thrilled with our experience. The staff went above and beyond with their warmth and kindness, making our time extra special - especially since it was for my 40th birthday.
We arrived in the evening, too tired to dine out or even at the restaurant, and it was getting late for room service. However, Josh and the Blue Mermaid staff went out of their way to prepare two delicious burgers, accompanied by the best aioli sauce we’ve ever had. We’re so grateful for that thoughtful gesture!
A huge thank you to Jacob and Angel at reception for organizing a beautiful gift in my room for my birthday. My friend from Switzerland arranged flowers and a Happy Birthday balloon, and I truly appreciated the effort the staff made to ensure everything was perfectly set up.
A special thank you to Corinne for your kindness and the thoughtful gifts you gave us before we left - your generosity made our departure all the more difficult.
Lastly, our heartfelt thanks to Aaron and Karina at the Blue Mermaid restaurant, as well as to all the other staff whose names we didn’t catch, for fulfilling all of our special requests. Your service was truly appreciated!
The only minor downside was that it was a bit chilly in the lobby and corridors, but that didn't take away from the overall experience. Thank you all for making our stay so memorable!
We can’t wait to be back soon to make even more wonderful memories!

As first time visitors to San Francisco we were looking for somewhere central and near Fisherman’s Wharf. After much research we booked this hotel for a week and do not regret it for one moment.
We arrived late at night to a friendly and efficient welcome and were given our room on the third floor. It was clean and well presented whilst being a very good size. The King bed was extremely comfortable leading to great sleep every night.
Air-con worked well and the overall ambiance was perfect for the whole week. The bathroom was well appointed with expected toiletries and fluffy towels. My only criticism would be that the showers are the “typical” American ones with hardly any pressure and a head fixed to the wall. Not great for an enjoyable shower experience but the water was hot and it was ok.
The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect.
Would return if coming back to the area.

We stayed at the Argonaut hotel on our honeymoon in 2023 and we could not have picked a better hotel for our first trip to San Francisco. The location is perfect and within walking distance to so many great things. We walked to see the sea lions at Pier 39 and to the ferry for Alcatraz. The cable car stop, the Buena Vista, and Ghirardelli Square are right next-door.
Every staff member that we encountered was friendly and helpful. Our Bayview King room had a picture perfect view of Alcatraz. We also loved that we could open the windows and hear the sounds from the bay and the street below. The Blue Mermaid restaurant is a gem and is so handy to have right on site.
We stayed at the Argonaut again for our first anniversary in May 2024 because we loved it so much. This is the only hotel we will ever stay at when we visit San Francisco.

The room was very spacious and inviting. The tub was big enough for 2 and the hotel even included some bath bombs to try out with the spa jets. It was an enjoying bath. We had a room that over looked Alcatraz and Golden Gate bridge. We even saw some seagulls that perched on the building across from us. We were minutes from exploring the pier and the chocolate factory. Overall a great experience.

An amazing short stay at the Argonaut

We made our reservation at the Argonaut on our way up from central California. We’ve been to the city so many times and have always walked by the Argonaut, so we thought we would give it a try. We’ve got a very reasonable rate online for a courtyard view.
When we arrived, we met Sharon at the front desk. She was so friendly and welcoming. My wife asked her “how is the courtyard view?” She said, “I already upgraded your room, I don’t think you will be disappointed”. We chatted with her, and we went to our room. WOW!!!! She gave us a corner suite. It was huge. One side looked directly over the wharf to Alcatraz and the other view was over the Aquatic Park and the GG bridge. Fantastic. The room was big, clean, and the bathroom was spacious. The bed was sooooooo comfortable. Slept so amazingly well. There was an in room Nespresso machine and there was a fridge for our waters.
We had an appetizer and some drinks downstairs at Mermaids.
We are not big fans of fishermen’s wharf, as we used to live here and it is very touristy. But the night we came, it was super quiet. So many places to walk from here
A great stay for sure. Will be back.
