Rough Guide "Surprisingly quiet, given its tourist-stampeded location."
Michelin Guide "An unrivaled location... As if that's not enough to whet your appetite, the coveted hotel looks straight across to the sparkling San Francisco Bay and the Park's fleet of historic ships."
Travel + Leisure "Housed in the 1907 Haslett Warehouse, the Argonaut is the only hotel located in the Maritime National Historical Park." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This historic 1907 San Francisco building is now home to a maritime-themed boutique hotel."
Fodor's "The spacious rooms, many with a sofa bed in the sitting area, have recently been redesigned but still spotlight exposed-brick walls and wood-beam ceilings." Full review
Star Service "This still ranks among the best small hotels here, and it remains a champion along the north end of Fisherman's Wharf." Full review
Gayot "Set in Fisherman's Wharf, this Kimpton Group hotel goes for broke with its maritime theme."
Zagat4.3
"Drop anchor at this "nautical-themed" "secret" (part of the Kimpton chain), which offers a "breath of fresh air" thanks to "nice-sized" quarters with Frette linens and in-room spa treatments."
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Though the amenities are of an upper-end hotel... some rooms are tiny and get limited sunlight." Full review
Time Out "Built into a historic fruit-packing warehouse, this beautiful luxury hotel is the best in the area by far." Full review

Rough Guide "Its rooms are a tech-lover’s dream – each is equipped with a 42-inch LCD TV with a plug-in panel, Bose sound system, ergonomic office chair, and wireless internet."
Fodor's "The hotel features a state-of-the-art fitness room and technologically savvy meeting rooms." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The public areas are glamorous, and the bedrooms refined and elegant. Business travelers will find the staff extremely helpful."
Time Out "Rebranded in 2006, the former Pan Pacific hotel is far enough from Union Square that guests can avoid the crush, but close enough that the shops are mere steps away." Full review
Star Service "At the corner of Mason Street, one block west of Union Square, and six blocks shy of the Bank America Center and the Financial District, this...is in an excellent location for business and pleasure." Full review
Gayot "Despite its size (21 stories and 329 rooms in all), the JW Marriott San Francisco has a decidedly intimate atmosphere amid the bustle of Union Square."
Zagat4.5
""Far above par", this Downtown "luxury" chain outpost "delights", from the bright "soaring" lobby to the "comfortable" quarters."
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square is a colorful and urbane hotel just steps from San Francisco’s bustling Union Square, the Financial District and the Embarcadero." Full review
Jetsetter "A casual, tranquil vibe above the hubbub of downtown (an impressive feat in a 337-room hotel), and a staff quick to anticipate your every need." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The hotel tends to attract a strong following of business travelers, but the great bathrooms and amenities, as well as proximity to Union Square, would appeal to travelers of all stripes." Full review
