Quaint old hotel with elegance of yesteryear. Pretty French country touches with little paintings/murals in the rooms. Very comfortable room. Good location. We loved it and would stay again. They treated us nicely and upgraded us to a junior suite. An improvement they could do is make the breakfast a little more French/elegant. But overall it had good quality basics to start the day. We enjoyed this hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Your hotel scared the heck out of us. Even once we were given a different room we considered leaving. It was only one night and an early flight so we suffered through. Breakfast was underwhelming but I did appreciate the cup of coffee. The staff member attending the breakfast station was attentive.
The hotel is very well located nearby the famous tram lines of San Francisco. The decor is a bit dated just like the whole hospitality experience but I didn't mind that. The elevator is really cute.
The only thing that really bothered me was the lingering smell of vommit in the building. At least the room didn't have that.
Overall we were pleased with our stay. However breakfast had a limited selection and not enough supplied for the amount of guests. Not enough staff to cope with the volume of guests. And one of our biggest gripes was the use of Single Use plastic cups and cutlery and paper bowls.

Great location, warn property
The staff was very service oriented, friendly and helpful. The property itself was a bit more warn and rugged than shown in the pictures and many of the reviews.
The breakfast was very basic and the second morning was delayed by an hour and a half due to the fridge being out of order.
Location was great very close to Union Square and all the high end shops.
I've stayed at Cornell numerous times, it's always been a pleasure. It's rich French history displayed everywhere was charming.
My only complaint was I saw nothing in the booking process that Cornell didn't accept cash as a form of payment for the room.
Internet was out of service or sporadic for entire stay. Breakfast was abominable. Advertzed restaurant was permanently closed. Staff were indifferent.
