We were in SF during our 40th anniversary. They treated us like royalty. Gave us gift cards for glasses of wine at a bar on their property and volunteered to do anything to make our trip memorable. We never had time for the wine and when I returned the gift cards they sent us home with a free stuffed seal, which our granddaughters will love. If we ever make it back to SF we will be staying atThe Argonaut.

Hotel was situated in a busy area. Felt safe and able to walk around. Staff was nice too. The room was outdated and the woodwork in the rooms had so much dust on it it felt very uncomfortable for us to put our suitcase and belongings anywhere. The dust was so packed on and old on the moldings of the columns inside the rooms. There was mold on the wood columns too. Wouldn’t go back because of that. Shower curtains need to go

The hotel was nice and historic. We did eat the first night at the Blue Mermaid. The food and service was great. Parking at the hotel is impossible valet is the only option. Traveling with a child in a wheelchair that is medically fragile we had a lot of stuff and the valet was patient but we felt rushed. They were grabbing items out of our car. It was chaos. We also could not access our car without getting valley. No fault of the staff or building but it just wasn’t right for our needs. The hotel was very nautical and cute. The room was spacious. The mini bar situation was too much for us and less alcohol in the room would have been more ideal. We had room service breakfast which was great and fast. Cool hotel but not for complex medical accommodations .
