Cornell Hotel, a corner of paradise
This boutique hotel in central San Francisco is charming and quaint and, above all, quiet. The staff is personal and friendly and guests are treated like family members. It is modestly priced and affordable, as well. I had a tranquil room on the 6th floor (the Modigliani floor) at the back that was comfortable and peaceful. I will go back in a heartbeat. What's more, their lower-level bistro, Jeanne d'Arc, is excellent; it doubles as the breakfast room every morning.
