For a get-away from our normal routine in the Silicon Valley, my husband and I decided to be tourists for a weekend and chose Fishermans Wharf as our destination. I was very wary about a boutique hotel in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf - expecting cheesy, small and somewhat uncomfortable. I was very pleasantly surprised when we got to our room - good amount of space and cleanly decorated. Loved the bathroom with a Jacuzzi, okay maybe because we got upgraded to a King Suite for free. Both my husband and I are quite picky about beds. The king size bed in our room was incredibly comfortable, just the right amount of firmness. We had Scharfenberg chocolate on our pillows. I am also very happy to find out that they recycle a lot of the daily waste, use only environmentally friendly products to clean, and offer organic coffee. Oh, did I mention the free happy hour wine social?

I recently spent a night at the Argonaut with my wife on one of our rare nights out away from the kids. I chose the Argonaut for several reasons: it seemed very comfortable, it was different, and the location was extremely convenient to the activities I had planned for the evening – dinner at Greens and a show at Ft. Mason. I had a few misgivings about the nautical theme – I was worried it might be too cheesy – but it turns out my worries were misplaced. Don’t get me wrong – the Argonaut has a definite nautical theme – but it is implemented in a reasonably classy way. When I made the reservations I requested a King Room with a Bay view, but when we arrived they had “upgraded” us to a King Suite without the Bay view. Much larger room, but no view – depending on your preferences this may or may not have been acceptable. We decided to take the upgrade, but I would recommend calling ahead to confirm your room of choice if you want to make sure to get the room you want. The rooms themselves are very nice: on the large side, many with exposed brick walls or ceiling timbers, with very comfortable beds. They can be a bit noisy – you are in Fisherman’s Wharf, after all. But on the plus side, you are in Fisherman’s Wharf, after all, and within walking distance of all that that entails. I’ll leave it to my wife to describe the eco-friendly practices of the hotel (there are several) and the pillow mints. Suffice it to say that the Argonaut Hotel, while not at all cheap, is a very comfortable and unique hotel worth spending a few nights in.
