I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Cornell. I was staying solo in the city and wanted a convenient and reasonably priced hotel that I could walk to my son's apartment. Cornell was perfect. The full breakfast was an added perk. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

The Cornell Hotel de France is a must stay for frequent visitors to SF. It is like being in an old hotel in France. The wall prints of famous French painters along with hand painted details on the walls was amazing. The complementary breakfast was in a beautiful room in the basement where the high end French restaurant used to be. I loved the old elevator with the metal grate.
