My stay at the Argonaut Hotel was quite enjoyable. The location is fantastic for accessing Fisherman’s Wharf and other attractions, though some areas felt touristy. The decor is charming and reflects the hotel’s nautical theme, but the room could have used some enhancements. Overall, it’s a lovely place to return to after a day of exploring San Francisco.
