This was on the quiet end of Fisherman’s Wharf, but we booked so we could have a rollaway bed. The hotel would not accommodate. It was noisy here and expensive.

My recent stay at the Argonaut Hotel in San Francisco was a memorable experience worth highlighting. From check-in to check-out, the service and amenities exceeded expectations. The room was spotless, quiet, and well-appointed, and I was especially impressed that the hotel maintained a fresh, odor-free environment despite being pet-friendly. It made me wish I had brought my dog instead of boarding her! Customer service was a standout. After noticing unexpected charges on my bill at checkout, I contacted the front desk, and Angel Palacios, the Front Desk Supervisor, promptly resolved the issue. Not only was the error corrected and refunded, but the hotel also waived the daily guest amenity fees as a goodwill gesture. This exceptional service turned a potential issue into a positive experience. Kudos also to the Blue Mermaid restaurant staff, who kindly provided dining utensils when I forgot to bring my own. Their helpfulness and attention to detail truly enhanced my stay. For improvements, I’d suggest offering complimentary refreshments in the lobby or waiting area and adding bidets to the bathrooms—small touches that would elevate the guest experience. Overall, the Argonaut Hotel left a lasting impression with its cleanliness, pet-friendly charm, and top-notch hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco—it’s a true gem in the city!
