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.

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

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

Room was very clean. Modest room for a modest price. The night clerk helped us find a place to eat. The most amazing thing about this property is how quiet it was considering it is almost in the flight path of SFO.
