Good location - 3 star experience
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.

They do store baggages before check-in and after check-out. Wifi is too weak. Even cellular data also not working. There is an amenity fee of $20/day. Deposits fee need to pay individually and takes time to get it back. There was a convention recently, so no homeless nearby. But after finishing the convention, there were many homeless nearby. Breakfast was good and interior also nice.
