Recent Argonaut Fishermans Wharf Kimpton Review: "I booked the Argonaut on a recommendation from a friend who has stayed at the hotel. It was one of the best pieces of advice I have taken as the hotel was perfect for our needs. The staff, especially the doormen, were brilliant with my 8 year old son. The engaged him everytime we came and went, giving advice on what to do and where to go, thus making  him feel special. The warning giving to him about the 'Bushman' was a classic, as we encountered this 'character' during our stay and it was duly reported back. There was a special questionaire for the kids, which they received a prize for once it was completed. A Wii station to keep them busy during the wine-tasting held each evening. For us the staff were very helpful, giving great advice and as it was our first trip to San Francisco, they gave 'local' recommendations on where to go, where to eat and the best way to see the sites. Every question was answered and extra effort was made to make sure we were given the best deals and info. This was above what was expected. The hotel is situated in a perfect location on the 'wharf front' in the old Cannery building, which is very close to all the main sites, usually no more than 5-10 minutes walk. Also it is next to a cable car, which made getting into the middle of town very easy and ticked off a must do in San Francisco. There is a free maritime museum attached to the foyer which is being expanded and made a great introductory start to our touring. The view from our room looked across the bay to Golden Gate bridge, which was a bonus. The mattresses in the room were wonderful, as were the pillows, making sleep at the end of a huge day easy to fall into. The selection in the mini bar was a nice change from the normal run of the mill items. It included an umbrella, bottle opener and unusual exotic confectionary, not just chips and chocolate. The toiletries were the wonderful Aveda brand. We smiled at the dressing gowns as well, zebra and tiger striped, with fluffy socks for"
