Cornel hotel de France is cosy like home with elegant decor. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room is spotless with beautiful paintings on the wall as shown in those photos on the website. It’s not like a chain hotel with big lobby but more like a home that you don’t feel like staying in a hotel. Bed is very comfortable. The shower was great and they are generous to provide branded toiletries L’occitane that I don’t see in other hotels with this price. Location is great, only 5 minutes walk to Union Square. The closest BART station is Powell station where you will see a lot of people waiting to take cable car when you get out of the station. Only one reminder if you are first time to San Francisco like me, the street from the BART station to the hotel is quite steep so it could be a challenge if you carry a suitcase with you. All in all I highly recommend this hotel and would stay again if I have chance to come to San Francisco.
