Overall, the hotel seemed kind of run down and poorly maintained I started off in room 324, but moved to 325 after a couple of days because the bathroom was consistently filling up with cigarette smoke Room 325 didn’t have ventilation issues, but did have a number of other issues such as a cracked stove top, missing cabinetry facing, a cabinet door that wouldn’t close all the way under the sink, and a couple other cosmetic issues

Outside of the room, the hallway feels dated and the second elevator was inoperative for over two weeks during my stay Even the elevator inspection was dated with a document posted stating that the previous certificate was still valid until an inspector could be dispatched This wouldn’t be so alarming except that the document dates from 2019 I know there was a pandemic and all in between then an now, but we’re not exactly in the middle of a lockdown as of May, 2022

Tobias Herrmann

Would give 45 if I could for the current very reasonable price Rooms very clean

Staff very nice A basic hotel/motel to stay for a day or two close to the airport Nothing to complain about basic amenities Location is about 30 min away from the city via car/uber, more than an hour taking public transport Couple of restaurants close by I know they might be bound by COVID regulations but there were a couple of things that did not really work and that we did not expect to encounter in spring 2022 Restaurant and airport shuttle not operating The most minimalistic breakfast and vending machines not working

Susan Trujillo

Nice suite, clean and comfortable Appreciated that the complimentary breakfast included hot food optionsSome have mentioned the noise from the train, In building 2, I never heard a peep but a family member in building 3 did hear and found it annoying

Bed was comfy and the location was convenient and staff were pleasant and courteous

We loved this delightful hotel Every staff member I encountered was friendly and efficient and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable The rooms were clean and nice

Each evening there was a complimentary wine tasting in the beautiful and festive lobby with local musicians providing entertainment The pet friendly restaurant was appreciated and superb We will definitely visit this hotel, again

Sal B (Sal)

Clean room, friendly staff, very accommodating! We arrived early and had a late flight on checkout Both times they were nice enough to offer and store our luggageIt’s worth mentioning what other people have said: expect fees, walls are thin and there wasn’t free breakfast

But they do give you 5$ off the hotel restaurant; we enjoyed our breakfast there

The staff was really helpful and kind, Cris is an amazing person 🤗 The hotel is really cute and clean! We even had free coffee and tea every morning for what I’m really grateful for and they offered to save our luggage for us since we arrived too early for the check inThe only thing I could say it’s that would’ve been nice to have shower cap since the shower head is fix and didn’t want to wet my hair 😂 but I didn’t ask the staff for it either so maybe they could’ve provided one 🙂

Marine

This 7 floor small hotel located near civic Center, right cross the opera house It is very clean, and really quiet Excellent location with working distance to restaurants, market street

Friendly service Good Bedding quality and bed Like the wash room the best show spacious and plenty of room Small microwave, some basic utensils Price is fair Will visit again!

Timothy Saxman

We had a wonderful time in San Francisco and knowing we had Inn At the Opera to come back to made it all the better It is a great little hotel right around the corner from some really good restaurants Rooms were a little small (but what do you expect from a hotel in the city) and very well maintained, decor was great and will definitely return

The staff made the trip very enjoyable

Nice hotel ! Descent price ! Several community rooms, all very big ! Baby foot, pool, boardgames, video games

Laundry machines available in the basement for cheap price I got the private room with bathroom, very clean and comfortable The location is PERFECTThe only problem is the parking but hotel residents get discount on in the private parking garage 2 min away walking (28$ instead of 35$ a night yeah SF is super expensive like everything in California)I highly recommend Ansonia !

Lauren Penrose

Much better experience than expected, the staff is working on upgrading the place after buying it last year They are more than willing to help you with anything you need Facilities are still a little outdated, but they are working on upgrading and will help you find a solution if expectations are not satisfied

Great price for location

We stayed in a 3br, 3 bath Presidential Reserve condo The furnishings, quality, comfort and size were outstanding! Lavish materials, full size washer/dryer, side by side fridge with ice-water, super size master suite and bath Service from staff was also above average

This location convenient to Union Square and Hyde-Powell cable car line Highly recommend this property

Steve W

Great staff, check in and PR room (3 bedroom, 2 full baths, full kitchen and full sized washer and dryer) We are very happy Wyndham owners and travel at least a week each month Based on other reviews we had concerns that the area might not be very safe, clean, homeless etc

Had no issues at all Walked everywhere, a couple of blocks to Chinatown then down to Fisherman’s wharf and everything was great Only issue we had was the parking but it is SF so parking is always an issue We used a garage American West Parking, 1 block from Wyndham They park your car, very tight space and when I picked up, had new scratch(s) where a car door had hit and moved up and down as they got in or out Very typical in SF but still frustrating $60 a day and scratches are free Space is a premium and we knew that so didn’t bring my wife’s vehicle

I made a quick trip to San Francisco to see some friends play live music Franck was extremely helpful with all the information I could need, and the woman at the front desk was marvelous Considering my stay was during Covid, I felt safe the entire time with everyone taking the necessary measures and precautions

It was a wonderful surprise to know the parking was part of my stay, breakfast was perfect, and the coffee was outstanding The location couldn’t be better for shopping and dining Only a block from Union Square The room was quaint, bathrooms nicely updated and the view was perfect A wonderful city experience The windows open ALL THE WAY! A rare find in hotels these days And the fresh air was welcomed In haste, I accidentally left behind a souvenir, and the staff was so polite and gracious to help me out by dropping it in the mail that day I whole heatedly recommend the Cornell Hotel and would definitely stay there again I am excited to bring my wife next time, she would find it over the top romantic

Bonny Moss

This little hotel is just perfect Delightful hand painted art details all throughout the rooms, the elevator, the hallways, the doors Delicious homemade croissants for breakfast, sparkling clean rooms, friendly service in a beautiful French accent

We’ll come back over and over again I can’t believe how affordable it was for how sweet and thoughtful every aspect of our stay
