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.

The young man who checked me in was unfriendly and borderline rude. Ridiculous upcharge of $17.00 to check in early. There is no reason for a charge like that if there is an available room. The faucet in the bathroom shower was extremely loose and was almost falling out of the wall. Homeless man camping out in parking lot. Breakfast was a joke. Extremely disappointed in this hotel. You get what you pay for, I guess.
