Very helpful, attentive, knowledgeable, and personable staff. Limited selections for continental breakfast, although everything was delicious. Could use more gym equipment as well, if you are into fitness. Nice and clean accommodations, just minor details here and there. Would recommend for a quick getaway, not necessarily a special occasion. Overall, I am satisfied with my stay and will likely return!

It is an excellent location for a layover. Price is right for the property. Easy checking. Nice front desk personal. But… there is a problem with people that do shuttle from airport, bad service, I believe they could reevaluate the supplier.

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.

I had a wonderful stay! The staff was amazing, and the hotel was incredibly clean and peaceful—exactly the sanctuary I needed to clear my mind. The name Nova truly lives up to its meaning of a "new beginning," making it the perfect choice for anyone seeking a fresh start in a relaxing atmosphere. A huge thank you to the staff, who are hands-down the best; they provided a warm, welcoming check-in and were constantly attentive to my needs. I will definitely be back! Alice
