Room was clean but was just outdated. Breakfast was unimpressive. Basically fruit and cereal . Bed was comfortable though and check in staff were very friendly
If you decide to stay here, be prepared to hear the sound of planes taking off and landing—even from inside your room. The noise is quite loud. The hotel doesn’t provide earplugs; they’ll simply remind you that it’s close to the airport and say, “This is the choice you made.”
Everything ok, but they don’t return our deposit yet. We wait deposit more that 1 month, when they say it will coming in 1 day…

Was surprised when an $8 nightly charge for parking was added to the bill . I have stayed in most of the hotels in the area and have never been charged by any other. There is no shortage of parking. The hotel should disclose this charge before you check in.

Worst bed ever
Everything was fine except..... The bed. It was literally a bed that is made of cardboard. Similar to a display bed in a store. It was the most uncomfortable bed I have EVER had at a hotel. I would never stay here again for this reason.
San Francisco hotels were fully booked. I finally found Hotel Nova and just took a chance. It was delightful. The best part was how nice and helpful they were. Kenny, at the front desk helped with my UPS pickups despite her being busy with a full house. Everything was clean. They are getting up to date a little at a time. It kind of surprised me but everything was very clean and the mattress was wonderful. I would encourage you to try Hotel Nova, a smaller but very nice and well run establishment. Also, free breakfast! Will definitely stay again. The joy and kindness shown more than makes up for the older fixtures!
Really cute hotel in south San Francisco. Everything was clean, bed was comfortable, good water pressure, cable TV or ability to sign into your netflix. All the staff was super friendly. Good parking. Would stay there again.
Guest services we received was excellent! The room was clean and neighboring occupants were considerate with noise levels even though there was a rave going on that weekend.
The provided breakfast was serviceable. Would definitely stay here again.
