Everything was fine about the property. I loved that they had a gym & electric charging out front. The desk people were very kind & told us what we needed to know during our stay like the quiet hours. The most disappointing part was THE BED. I woke up with multiple bug bites each night. It completely ruined all my outfits that required showing my legs. I’m disappointed to give this place such a low review because the room and the bathrooms were very clean but those bed bugs are no joke. Also we said no thank you to room cleaning & we still came back to our room cleaned. We left valuables out & it was really concerning that they came in after we declined service. I wanted to like this place but those huge factors are a big setback for me.

It was fine. I went because there was a breakfast buffet and my kid and I enjoy a hotel breakfast. I think this might have been the least impressive breakfast buffet I've seen in an american hotel. There was a waffle maker (fun, for sure), and a toaster. But apart from that - no hot food of any sort. There were cold hard boiled eggs, and some slices of ham. Also No bagels, no muffins, no cream cheese, no peanut butter, no actual butter. There were a few apples but no other fruit. Most of the basic things you expect even from a crappy hotel breakfast were absent. We still had a fine time, and enjoyed the wafffles. But know what you're in for if you come here because you want breakfast.....

Our stay at Hotel Nova SF was a pleasant surprise. Hotel Nova SF is a boutique, economical hotel and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean and spacious. We enjoyed the free breakfast which reminded us of a continental breakfast in Europe. We will definitely stay again when visiting the Bay area.

I was staying the night on a layover before an international flight. My original hotel actually canceled on me so I quickly had to find a hotel close to the airport that was reasonably priced. I’m really glad I chose Nova! The staff was really great and nice, suggested a great place for me to get dinner nearby. I walked to the restaurant which took about 25 minutes, not the best walk just along busy roads, but doable and lots of options in that area to eat. I did end up Ubering back to the hotel. Very close to the airport and there are a couple more fast food options very close and walkable. The hotel and rooms are dated, but it was very clean and comfortable. I was alone and felt comfortable and slept great. The breakfast was better than I expected for the price point, simple continental style but more options than most I’ve seen.
