Hotel Nova perhaps has been one of the best hotels I stayed at that’s budget friendly yet has a very clean and well maintained establishment. The manager, Janmesh and his staff treated us with a warm welcome and was very polite and friendly throughout our stay. The bed was super comfy that made us just want to keep relaxing and sleeping on the bed instead of going out for fun. Definitely recommend this hotel and will surely come back again!

Clean, simple, affordable, and close to SFO! Nothing fancy, but clean and quiet. They also had a shuttle to pick us up and drop us off at SFO.
Breakfast was basic, but if you need something greasy, McDogs is just a few blocks down the street.

The staff were amazing. Very warm and welcoming. I feel like they went above and beyond. The hotel itself was nice. Nothing fancy, but it was clean and comfortable. The only negative I have is the surrounding area was undesirable. It’s somewhere you would not want to go out at night by yourself. This issue has nothing to do with the hotel as this is not something they can control. It’s just something to be aware of. Because of that reason, I don’t think I would stay there again. I am a retired Correctional employee, and I was definitely looking over my shoulder the few times my daughter and I left the hotel.

I chose Hotel Nova SFO primarily because it offered airport shuttle service and complimentary breakfast. Unfortunately, my experience did not fully meet my expectations.

The biggest disappointment was the limited shuttle schedule. My flight was at 7:50 PM, and I wanted to arrive at the airport about three hours before departure. However, the shuttle service stopped at 11:30 AM and did not resume until 5:30 PM, which left a large gap during the afternoon and I had to make alternative transportation arrangements.

The complimentary continental breakfast was also quite basic. The selection was limited to white bread, jam, boiled eggs, and a few simple items. There were no options such as wheal bread, sausages, or ham. As someone who specifically chose a hotel with breakfast included, I found the offering disappointing.

Another drawback was the lack of nearby dining options. There were no convenient restaurants within walking distance for lunch or dinner, only McDonald's. After being underwhelmed by the breakfast, the absence of alternative food choices nearby made the stay even less enjoyable.

Considering that I paid around $235 for a two-night stay, I expected better value and more convenience. While the room itself was clean and adequate, the limited shuttle schedule, basic breakfast, and lack of nearby restaurants would make me think twice before booking this hotel again.

Wow! I didn’t expect much and what I received was so much more. From the second I walked in the manager of the hotel was stand out amazing. So helpful, caring, knowledgeable and hospitable. I felt at home and like he would go out of his way for all of his guests to make sure they were happy, comfortable and taken care of. The room was exactly what I needed. Perfectly clean with a comfortable bed. My room couldn’t have been cleaner! I was very impressed. This isn’t a fancy hotel but it is perfectly cared for and a pleasure. I will definitely stay again on my next trip to SFO. Thank you.

Being in the hotel industry, I thoroughlycheck rooms all the time for cleanliness. No matter what hotel chain I stay in usually I always find something left behind from another guest. I found a little dust behind the TV cabinet and the bedside tables. Otherwise the room was extremely clean. Bathroom was clean and in good working order, shower was great powerful and clean. A small continental breakfast was included and worked out just perfectly for what I needed. Airport shuttle was on time and location was still close to the airport since I had a flight early in the morning. The alarm clock could be replaced as the buttons are hard to work on the top and don’t always go to where they need to be to work properly. I got it to work after messing with the buttons for about 10 minutes.

I needed an airport hotel. The staff was friendly and the room served its purpose. The only thing I would say about this facility is that the shuttle from the airport runs every 45 minutes. Other hotel shuttles were coming by every ten minutes. I didn't know this was going to be the case. I called the hotel twice to learn this. Other than that, I enjoyed the place and my conversations w/ the staff.

We have stayed at this property for years. I guess it’s under new management and they’ve made huge cuts to the breakfast. No more apple juice, scrambled eggs or potatoes, no yogurts, no more Costco muffins cut in half. No more half and half for coffee either. Only bread for toast is white bread. No more English muffins, bagels or small pastries. Today they had mini muffins that were basically yellow cake. Horrible. Never again. Rates are up around 30% too.

I booked this hotel because it said it had an airport shuttle. Upon checking in, it turns out the shuttle didn't start until after our flight was boarding - and no other options were provided. Additionally, I was unable to turn on the HVAC in the room, so I couldn't dispel the musty odor or block the sound of the busy street directly outside my room.

The hotel rooms and halls were in good condition, the staff was friendly, one of the people at the desk gave us directions to walk back from the rental car area which was only 2 blocks and much faster than waiting for the shuttle to bring us back. The shuttle starts at 5:11 am and runs every 45 minutes. It was 3-4 minutes late this morning but not bad. The bed was comfortable. The thermostat for the air conditioner had nonworking batteries and the front desk didn’t have new ones. However we were able to operate the air conditioner from the unit itself. Overall a comfortable stay. We left before breakfast so can’t comment on that.

A decent nights sleep close to SFO. Only two minor issues: as a solo female traveler I prefer to not stay on ground level for safety reasons. I hope this is something the front desk will take into consideration for all women travelers. Second is that breakfast was over by 9:10AM. I slept later due to my flight not arriving until after 1:00AM . When I got to the breakfast area the ladies had cleaned it up and no one offered to get me anything (piece of bread? Bowl of cereal?). Otherwise the property is cl an, convenient, and had a nice bed.

Stayed here for one night and overall it felt like a “dingy plus” experience. The room had a damp, humid feel, and some surfaces (especially around the A/C unit and furniture) didn’t seem to have been wiped down in a while. That said, the bathroom and sheets were clean, which I appreciated.

Parking was an additional $8, which felt out of place given the condition and positioning of the property.

Breakfast was minimal to the point of being nearly nonexistent. During my visit, the coffee pot was empty. The breakfast attendant was sitting in the lobby on her phone and didn’t acknowledge the situation as I tried to pour coffee and then went to the front desk. Only after being prompted did she refill it, without any interaction.

I understand this property is priced lower than others nearby, but even at that level, basic upkeep and service expectations still apply.

This hotel is in a convenient location near the airport and its room rates are very reasonable. The complimentary breakfast, unfortunately is 90% wheat-based so there were only two choices for those on a gluten-free diet: apples and hard-boiled eggs. The shower fixture is supposed to offer an adjustable height but the unit in my room always fell to the lowest position making the process of taking a shower awkward at best. Also, the insulation between rooms is minimal so I heard every sound made by my next door neighbor. Check in clerk was great, checkout clerk was a bit curt. Still a decent choice for a short stay requiring access to SFO

Cleaning ladies are nice. Some of the receptionists are friendly but you can tell they try to fake it. I booked 4 nights. Paid for the parking $8/night. But every day they called me to move my car either super late or super early because there were shipping coming. And there was no sign telling where we should park and shouldn't. One night they called and I didnt move my car because it was 12. They told me to go down and they would tell me where to park, not on the phone. We figured it out they wanted us to my car to park at the alley and if not they would guide somewhere else. Next day the receptionist lady just gave me a whole lecture, but ofc in a nice way, but still, we came here to have a vacation, they should figured things out for a nice stay. I put the Do not disturb sign on, but still, they knocked on the door. And also, they give me a room right above the construction. One of the day, the fire alarm just got off continuously for a whole morning. We got no communication unless we called and they told us that AAA was currently testing. Restless stay basically!

I was first in room 205 the toilet clogged late at night. Things started coming up through the toilet and the water kept rising. My fiancé notified them that night and they offered us to stay in 207 for the night or to make a permanent switch. They said house keeping and listener wouldn’t be able to do anything about it that night. We decided just to switch rooms. The same issue happened in 207. My fiancé notified them again around 7am. No house keepers were there until 9am they said. The manager called me on the phone and was extremely rude. Implying it was our fault. I told him obviously you have plumbing issues here and of course he said no they never gave. I decided to look in the back of the toilet to find that they use a very old system which has been recalled for pretty much exploding and people have gotten hurt over it. There was absolutely no water in the back of the toilet. 3 people including the manager came up to my room to look at the toilet. They kept plunging it but the water continued to rise. He was even yelling at the house keeper in my bathroom as if it was her fault. He kept asking me very rudely what are you putting down the toilets and I answered more than once saying only the toilet paper you provide. And when I told him he was very rude and had a bad attitude he said he wasn’t and it’s a simple question what am I putting down his toilets as if I am stupid or something. We booked a whole week and this is how we were treated.
