We had 3 nights at this charming B&B. Friendly and helpful staff and a clean, comfortable bedroom. A continental breakfast is served, plus scrambled eggs and either sausage or bacon. Parking is available across the road in a parking garage at $40 per night and you can take the car out once a day. The cable car stop is literally at the end of the block and is great for getting to Fisherman’s Wharf. A short walk to China Town. The area felt safe around the hotel. We enjoyed our stay.

To find if you want to experience an old-fashioned

Surprisingly well appointed rooms. It’s a very old building, but I loved the Steines of all the furniture and the cute old-fashioned. Caged elevator was a hoot. Very clean and comfortable.

I stayed at the Cornell Hotel de France in San Francisco and overall had a nice experience. The room was comfortable and had a lot of charm — definitely a unique, boutique feel. However, it wasn’t quite what I expected in terms of amenities. It’s more old-school, so if you’re looking for modern extras or luxury touches, this might not be the place. That said, the location is decent and the atmosphere is cozy and quiet, which I appreciated. It’s a good spot if you value character over flash.
