    A good hotel overall with a good price-quality. Breakfast could have been better or cheaper. The room was not very sound

    Breakfast was overpriced. Soundproofing was not optimal, there was quite a lot of noise from the corridor and the room above and also from the street outside at night.

    Location was perfect. Beds were comfortable, and the room was big enough for four people.

    My husband woke from loud noise on the cannery side but I never heard a thing. great room, bed, beautiful beams and brick wall.

    Location! your right in Fisherman's Wharf at the end neat Ghirardelli's! Built in 1907 this is the historic Haslett Warehouse and used to be a canning factory I believe . It is in Fisherman's Wharf right near Ghirardelli's! The only place to stay !!

    There’s really nothing I didn’t like. I would just like to mention that certain staff members were not as friendly as others. I found that some staff didn’t smile and, while they technically did their job, they did not provide a personal human aspect to their interactions. I don’t like to bring this up but it does linger in my impressions so I feel I have to; I actually got the impression that certain staff paid more attention to guests who were dressed a certain way and looked more affluential. Other staff members, however, had genuine welcoming smiles and seemed genuinely happy to help in any way they could. This makes such a positive lasting impression on me. This is what makes me remember a hotel and what makes me talk about it spontaneously to others and recommend it to them.

    I liked everything about this hotel. The location is prime and it is perfectly clean and comfortable. The room and bathroom were spacious and provided everything I needed. I enjoyed the marine theme and decor and I absolutely love the architecture and structure with the brick and the supporting beams. The staff were very good, and I found the concierges to be particularly useful, helpful and efficient. I really appreciated them!

    The reception lounge was lovely, but cold, so one did not want to sit there to read the paper. There was only one chair in the room - a desk chair. Staff at the restaurant were not particularly friendly or attentive.

    We liked staff at check-in, size of room, view of bay, comfort of the beds. It was nice to have a restaurant on site for breakfast. The reuse of the old building was great. We liked the availability of having newspapers. We had an issue with a lamp and service was exceptionally fast and professional, better than other hotels we've stayed at.

    We hurt our back humping bottled water down the hill to the hotel room. Can’t afford the eight dollars per quart water in the room, they should provide drinking water at hotel of this caliber. So simple. Florida is a little thin, over the weekend a kid was running back-and-forth in the room above us, interrupting our peace and quiet. Blue mermaid restaurant is gorgeous, but breakfast just so so. It’s a chowder house, we wanted to try chowder around 10:30 AM before check out, but they don’t have it till lunch. Crab omelette, a bit fishy and few pieces of shell in it. Coffee is weak and espresso six dollars a shot! The air conditioner/heater is modern but blows right on the bed and room was never the right temperature for some reason. Overnight we turned it off and it was fine.

    Spotlessly, clean, wonderful hotel, inviting lobby, fascinating, national Park, Maritime Museum, right there. Right on fisherman‘s wharf.. Corrine at the front desk is a superstar and went above and beyond in every way. The word no is not part of the vocabulary at the front desk, never heard it.

    The staff (Gustavo) was an absolute delight and exactly the type of person you want to greet you upon entry. It’s location is outstanding—grab a coffee and walk the short distance to the beach to admire the GGB in the morning.

    A little disappointed and surprised at the closing time of the bar. Closed early most nights. We thought that this was strange for such a high profile hotel.

    Lovely hotel, nicely decorated, large rooms, great staff and a superb location for exploring SF.

    Early check in payment requirement

    Had stayed at the Argonaut many years ago and wanted to stay again. Had an all night flight from Tokyo and was exhausted when we arrived in San Francisco. We had to pay $79 to check in early at the hotel but needed to sleep so we paid it, but did not expect that.

    Only coffee pods included as complimentary, anything else e.g. water and snacks in room were chargeable. For the price paid, this feels a little "tight".
