Good location. Felt relatively safe for the big city. Parking was difficult. Room was nice but a little dusty other than that no complaints. Tv was extremely staticy. Couldn’t really watch or see what was on the tv. Shower had nice hot water. Hotel was very cute inside. I wouldn’t mind staying again.

I love the Cornell Hotel de France. It is like a small hotel in France. The daily breakfast is good, similar, but a step above American complementary breakfasts. During this stay the hot water would not get hot in the late afternoon. It was fine in the morning.

It was a fine stay for what I needed, though the photos they use should definitely be updated to show the reality of the rooms. Very cramped room, large gap under the door, and homier details that are to be expected from a boutique hotel (mounted tv with wires hanging, confusing light/fan switches, stiff bed, an elevator that gets stuck if someone in the 6th floor doesn’t shut the door all the way) but ultimately it reflected the budget price I had paid. Very sweet and helpful staff, decent breakfast provided downstairs, just needs some cosmetic/quality updates that would make guests feel more like they were staying at a quality hotel and not their friend’s “landlord special”ed apartment.
