The stay was fine by me, but not so much for the wife.
Pros:

The Hotel was just a short walk from Fishman's Wharf and a 10 Min taxi ride to the cruise port, the room was quite big and a very comfy.

Cons:

The hotel was quite expensive for one night and for what you get. The wife had a funny feeling of being watched and the corridors looked like something from the shining but it did not bother me, even having a bit of fun of playing close the drawer with the hotel ghost, as the drawer kept opening when you looked away. When booking out the staff did say it was one of the most haunted places there, would I stay there again, YES, but the wife might say otherwise.

Would recommend the Argonaut for SF visitors who want to be able to walk to the sites.
Pros:

The location of the Argonaut was fantastic. We attended a graduation celebration at McCormick's and it was an easy two block walk. Great for exploring the Embarcadero.

Cons:

A little pricey. It turned out to be worth it for the convenience of the location and genuinely helpful staff.
