The Argonaut is a great place to stay, easy access to all the attractions, The Blue Mermaid has a great menu, we had multiple meals there and enjoyed everything. Staff is great, any questions just ask. Would easily book here again for a future trip. We have stayed in all the major chain hotels on the wharf over the years but the Argonaut is the nicest by far, had a great 3 night stay! Thanks
