The Cornell Hotel de France

It's the quirks that make this small French-style family-owned hotel more charming than many others in its price range. Pass the office, where a few faces will glance in your direction and smile, stop to pet the resident golden retriever, and embark on a ride in the old-fashioned elevator (we're talking turn of the 20th century here) to get to your basic room. Each floor is dedicated to a French painter and decorated with reproductions. Rooms are all plain and comfortable, with desks and chairs, and are individually and simply decorated. Smoking is not allowed. The full American breakfast included in the rate is served in the cool cavernlike provincial basement restaurant, Jeanne d'Arc. Union Square is just a few blocks away.

Facilities:
Restaurant; computer w/Internet in lobby
