“For me, the Argonaut's location in Fisherman's Wharf is a genuine advantage, putting you steps from Alcatraz tours and bay cruises while offering a quieter, less frantic atmosphere than Union Square. I appreciate the hotel's embrace of its history in the old cannery building. The bay-view rooms, in my opinion, are worth the splurge for their direct Alcatraz views.”
