Cleaning ladies are nice. Some of the receptionists are friendly but you can tell they try to fake it. I booked 4 nights. Paid for the parking $8/night. But every day they called me to move my car either super late or super early because there were shipping coming. And there was no sign telling where we should park and shouldn't. One night they called and I didnt move my car because it was 12. They told me to go down and they would tell me where to park, not on the phone. We figured it out they wanted us to my car to park at the alley and if not they would guide somewhere else. Next day the receptionist lady just gave me a whole lecture, but ofc in a nice way, but still, we came here to have a vacation, they should figured things out for a nice stay. I put the Do not disturb sign on, but still, they knocked on the door. And also, they give me a room right above the construction. One of the day, the fire alarm just got off continuously for a whole morning. We got no communication unless we called and they told us that AAA was currently testing. Restless stay basically!

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

I was first in room 205 the toilet clogged late at night. Things started coming up through the toilet and the water kept rising. My fiancé notified them that night and they offered us to stay in 207 for the night or to make a permanent switch. They said house keeping and listener wouldn’t be able to do anything about it that night. We decided just to switch rooms. The same issue happened in 207. My fiancé notified them again around 7am. No house keepers were there until 9am they said. The manager called me on the phone and was extremely rude. Implying it was our fault. I told him obviously you have plumbing issues here and of course he said no they never gave. I decided to look in the back of the toilet to find that they use a very old system which has been recalled for pretty much exploding and people have gotten hurt over it. There was absolutely no water in the back of the toilet. 3 people including the manager came up to my room to look at the toilet. They kept plunging it but the water continued to rise. He was even yelling at the house keeper in my bathroom as if it was her fault. He kept asking me very rudely what are you putting down the toilets and I answered more than once saying only the toilet paper you provide. And when I told him he was very rude and had a bad attitude he said he wasn’t and it’s a simple question what am I putting down his toilets as if I am stupid or something. We booked a whole week and this is how we were treated.

This is how they left my toilet for a few hours after trying to “fix” it until maintenance came.
