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.
