If you're interested in exploring the historic downtown, the atmospheric, colonial-style Majestic will give you a perfect location. It's also ideal for viewing the Independence Day (September 16) celebrations, for which many people reserve a room one year in advance. Rooms have heavy wooden furniture and bright linens. There is also a restaurant on the top floor with a wonderful view of the Zócalo. Pros: Restaurant serves all kinds of well-prepared international food, and it's hard to beat their classic tacos. Cons: Although the front units have balconies and a delightful view, they can be noisy with car traffic until about 11 PM.
