I was there for brief stay but directions for UBER pickup on both occasions were confusing. In once instance I had to walk behind the hotel....but didn't see where I was to stand...eventually driver stopped; I often have early morning flights and like to get breakfast but room service doesn't start till 7 and it took 30 minutes to arrive. Had to eat quickly. Need to accommodate early risers.

We were in SF during our 40th anniversary. They treated us like royalty. Gave us gift cards for glasses of wine at a bar on their property and volunteered to do anything to make our trip memorable. We never had time for the wine and when I returned the gift cards they sent us home with a free stuffed seal, which our granddaughters will love. If we ever make it back to SF we will be staying atThe Argonaut.
