It's a cute place, older amenities. Problem was no heat in the room. Has old radiator type system but was turned off. Room was ice cold. This is January. Complained and they turned the heat on, but was shut off again during the night. Asked for a space heater which never came.

Quant and Cozy Downtown Experience

Cute, quaint, European style hotel in downtown SF. It’s about 1.5 blocks from Chinatown. This hotel does not have AC, so fans are definitely needed in warmer weather. Our room was very small (cozy Queen) with a tiny bathroom, which was a challenge for two adults. Breakfast was included and was great. Would stay again but just in a larger room!

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.
