Spent 5 nights at the Argonaut recently and the hotel is great from a location point of view and general comfort of the rooms. The main issue we had was with the front desk staff. We arrived and the room was not ready, with no real apologie (but comp breakfast voucher, which was nice) The front desk staff just seemed to be lacking in customer service, very short and not very welcoming. Having said this the doormen were really good and very helpful.
Apart from this, the Argonaut is really worth considering for your stay in San Francisco. Fishermans Wharf is a great area and I love the city, but watch out for the crazy people of which they have a fair share!
Must do's are the cable cars and Alcatraz and if you have a car a drive over the Golden Gate Bridge (although watch out for the toll lane, I await a fine for going through the fasttrack lane!!)
