Hotel Features. A nautical theme runs throughout the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf, from wood-plank flooring to the steamer trunk front desk. The adjacent Blue Mermaid Chowder House & Bar serves fresh seafood and a variety of cocktails in a setting resembling the Gold Rush Era. Alfresco seating located in a brick alley is available alongside the hotel.

Great Place to stay

If you are only going to San Francisco, you do not need to rent a car. Their public tranportation system is great. If you do rent a car, keep in mind that you will have to pay $39.00 + Tax per night.

Good, But.....

The service was great. All of the employees were cheerful and helpful. The only thing I dont get about the Argonaut and most hotels is why they dont spend a little extra money to insulate the rooms. From beds sqeaking to hangers being hung we could hear it all
