Extremely helpful and willing to go out of their way. Jason was absolutely wonderful. We were here from Dallas for the weekend and Jason went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. The entire front desk staff was great.

I stayed here for 2 nights in order to explore San Francisco. As with any major place, hotel prices are quite pricey so I was looking for a mid range hotel that was affordable. The Cova hotel was the answer. I was a little put off by the reviews on here regarding the area that it is in, with the... More

I loved the staff! They did anything they could to make my stay comfortable! The shuttle service was so helpful. The free breakfast was decent. I especially loved the make your own waffle station! The hotel decor was very modern and the room was very clean. My only complaint is the surrounding area did not make me feel safe to... More

The hotel rooms were very nice and comfortable. I didn't think the breakfast was very good but that isn't overly important to me. The rooftop area adjacent to the breakfast was an awesome place to sit and have coffee and soak up some sun. We walked almost everywhere from the hotel and while there are a lot of homeless people...

My rating for Cova hotel is very good. I think that price and quality of the hotel meets here. We were on our honeymoon in California and one stop was at SF. There was an amazing suprise for us when we checked in. We got upgraded to a better room because of our honeymoon! We were also suprised by the... More

The hotel was really nice, rooms were confortable, breakfast was decent (extra points for the waffle machine!). I was a bit disapointed with housekeeping: although the rooms were clean enough, they just seem to be very unorganised (one day they left the clean tea cups on the bathroom, the other day they left them on the bedside table). The free... More

Is very difficult giving a fair rating for this hotel as the things that are wrong with it are completely beyond the control of the staff or the owners, but would mean that I would definitely think twice before staying again. Three of us stayed here 5 days as part of a two city vacation in the US and found... More

Room really nice, we were placed in a back room which was pretty good as it had a sliding door that could open so we could open the door to get fresh air when we felt the need. Breakfast was pretty good considering it’s just a continental breakfast. You need to go to level 8 where there is a fairly... More
