Had excellent stay at Hotel Cornell de France in San Francisco. The location is perfect with two cable car lines right at the corner of Powell & Bush, just six blocks up from the Powell BART subway station (great airport connection), and also only 5 blocks from rental cars on O'Farrell. We flew into the airport, grabbed the BART / walked to the Hotel and stayed a few days to tour San Francisco. A one-day NAPA Valley wine tour even picked us up directly at the hotel. Then rented a car to tour Yosemite, stayed again at the hotel with car parked in garage just across the street ($22.50 a day thru hotel, with in/out privileges), and dropped the rental off at the airport before the flight home. The hotel is clean, and service very friendly. Breakfast included was nice, but our stay also included a free four-course dinner in the restaurant that was fantastic (regularly $42 per person, so a value of $84 for the two of us) . . . note: get the soufflé for dessert! The only draw-back for some may be street noise . . . but we left the windows open and slept fine. Had both a large and small room, (for two stays), and found both to be very good. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone / everyone. We definitely would stay here again and again, and wouldn't even consider anywhere else.
