Can't beat the location of the Argonaut. Walking distance to so many great restaurants and sights..and classic cable car boards right next door! Hotel restaurant is excellent for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Super comfortable rooms, great bedding, and the huge lobby with fireplace is perfect spot for morning coffee or late cocktails! Our 3rd time here, and we will definitely return.

This hotel is older and the rooms reflect it. The bathroom had to be cleaned after we checked in bcuz it was not done properly beforehand. Water did not drain. Hair all over was gross.The beds, pillows and chairs are quite used and it shows. We had an interior court room and the noise was still pretty loud. I would find a better, newer place for same price.
