I'd stay there again.
We tried to get a hotel close to the water but the prices were out of sight. The Majestic had gotten good ratings and we got a good price. If you are looking for modern and sleek this is not the place but we loved it for its old world charm. We spent time in the lovely bar and met some other friendly folks. The food and decor in the restaurant downstair was fabulous. The room we had was small and quaint but clean and reminded us of hotels in Europe where we have stayed. The place is old and that is a turn off for some but not us. The staff was friendly and helpful and the valet service was excellent. What we loved about the location is we felt safe and saw parts of San Francisco we never saw before. We especially loved St. Mary's Cathedral which is worth seeing no matter your religious afficiation. It is a modern wonder and is within close walking distance. We would stay there again.
