Location Great, Cleanliness Lacking

The hotel's location is fantastic for sightseeing, with easy access to attractions and restaurants. However, the cleanliness and comfort didn't quite match the price point. A bit disappointing in that regard.

The Argonaut was true to its theme and a great place for families or those with dogs. It’s at the end of Fisherman’s Warf which is nice because you can walk to everything, are close to the beach and are just far enough away from the louder area.
