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

Frommer's "If you'd like to tell your friends you stayed in the same hotel as David Bowie, Keanu Reeves, Moby, Franz Ferdinand, and Interpol, this is the place to go." Full review
Concierge "If you're looking for a romantic hideaway, the Phoenix is not for you. If you want to party like a rock star, you've found the place."
Fodor's "A magnet for the hip at heart and ultracool... the Phoenix isn't the best choice for those seeking peace and quiet." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This funky two-story motel, in the heart of the Tenderloin District, conjures up images of old Route 66."
Time Out "Add funky styling to affordable rates and parking for tour buses in a 'gritty' neighbourhood, then sit back and watch the hipsters roll in." Full review
Gayot "Situated on the edge of the Tenderloin, the Phoenix was once a 1950s cinderblock motel known for its Magic Fingers beds."
BlackBook "Retro ‘50s no-fuss tropical bungalows. Think Palm Springs on a foggy day."
Travel + Leisure "This historic motor lodge is infamous for housing dozens of rock star musicians over the last five decades." Full review

"Channel your inner rock star at this edgy boutique hotel in the down-and-out Tenderloin, not far from Union Square." Full review
