The staff was great, location is optimal, rooms are clean and maintained. You need to have mini fridges in your hotel. It’s the biggest disappointment on any trip I take when I am unable to save a meal or store a cold drink.

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.
