Majestic SF Staycation
Pros:

We booked a suite to celebrate a birthday. Great hotel and nice comfort level. Staff was accommodating of check-in time.

Cons:

Breakfast included was a bit disappointing for the caliber of this hotel. Suíte furniture is quite outdated, ice machine did not work on our floor.

$35/night fee fraudulently labelled as a tax
Pros:

I don't appreciate a $35 nightly fee fraudulently labelled as "Nob Hill Destination Fee". This is not a tax. This is not added by the City of San Francisco. This is a amenity fee to use WiFi, nothing more. It's blatantly dishonest.

Stay anywhere else
Pros:

Avoid this is a dump. Nice location. This is not even a two star hotel. No service. Nothing in the room. My sink didn’t even work.

Cons:

I felt like the fact that the bathrooms didn't have cotton balls or q-tips or very basic things Made the hotel look cheap. Or like downstairs there's only regular coffee - no decaf or hot water with tea. Things like this just erode the high standing of this establishment

I thought this would feel more high end than it ended up being.
Pros:

Decent view. They said Corner room, and it technically had two windows facing different directions. Good bed. Good water pressure in shower.

Cons:

NO COFFEE IN ROOM!

Chunks in sink that looked like goop that couldn't be removed. Sink faucet turned backwards. Sink faucet had very low water pressure. No fan in bathroom. Toilets didn't flush from rim, requiring numerous flushes and addition of water to get everything, including TP, out. Remote control was dodgy and there were no premium channels.

Fabulous location in a storied hotel, nicely appointed. I look forward to returning.
Pros:

The room was lovely and we were right where we needed to be to walk to dinner and the Masonic for a show. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

The car parking was valet only and was quite expensive (over $75) which I hadn’t been forewarned of — so a heads up would be welcome. There apparently are parking lots which patrons can park in for less near by. The tip was included in the valet parking fee, so I appreciated that. Overall we did use the valet service as we did not have to drive and pay for parking anywhere else.

Pros:

Great location to Masonic center. Pretty inside lobby & room view very nice.

Cons:

Apparently a beverage changeover, as I was told, meant locked mini fridge and no in room coffee. Had to get ice to keep my medicine cold . Get dressed to go find coffee. Felt fortunate to have 2 glasses in bathroom I guess

The best hotel team in America
Pros:

Roy and Troy really made this the best getaway I could have imagined! They were kind and extremely helpful! I didn’t feel like I was staying at a hotel, it felt like going to a family members house! Those two brought peace and positivity and I look forward to seeing them again!

Cons:

I wish I stayed longer

Pros:

Yemek servisi, oda temizliği, çalışanların kübarlığı çok güzeldi. Özellikle terastaki 360 manzara harika. Otelin dekorasyonunu da çok beğendik. Konumu çok iyiydi her yere çok yakındı.

Cons:

Bizim tercih ettiğimiz tüm hizmetler gerçekleşti o yüzden ne daha iyi olabilir diye cevap veremeyeceğim.
