Me and my family have been travelling the states for a while and we got into cova hotel and enjoy it real much ! Especially when Erika was servicing and assisting us for our holiday, it was professional and excellent. Without her, we might be really lost and wouldn't enjoy as much as we are now. Her explanation of the... More

We chose this hotel because of the price as San Francisco hotels tend to be quite expensive. The hotel also has valet parking, charges are cheaper than hotels near Union Square. The free continental breakfast was not bad, they had ham, hard boiled eggs, lettuce, tomato, etc to make a sandwich, bread with a toaster machine, fruit, various juice and... More

Their rooms are of a modern look. Nice and clean. Staffs are friendly and always carry a smile. I asked the front desk staff how I can get to the Union Square area, and they told me there's complimentary shuttle! Even better! The only thing I don't like about is the area that the hotel is in. Yes, it's close... More

We stayed there for a week and got a very good deal! They remodeled a couple of years ago, so everything was nice and clean. The front staff was friendly and helpful - they offer free shuttle to Union Square and free continental breakfast!! More

I Heard About This Hotel Online. The Pictures Looked Amazing. Our Stay Was For 2 Nights. The Cleaning Service Was Average. You Have To Pay $25 A Night For Parking And You Need To Leave A $50 Deposit Each Night. If You Don't Mind Bums & Human Bowel Movements Outside Your Hotel Then This Is The Perfect Plc To Stay....

We always stay at the cova when attending events at the bill graham civic auditorium, because late night cabs on busy nights are hard to come by, and the cova is in walking distance. The staff is friendly, parking easy, rooms clean. What more do you want? The tenderloin sucks, but come on that's not the hotels fault. And you... More

This hotel is pretty clean and service is good. They also provide some land tour to Yosemite Park. Just note that the street is pretty quiet at night after 9.30pm so you need to be extra careful when you are alone. We noticed a few drunken near the hotel. 28 Oct 2010. More

I stayed at this hotel for my three day two night visit in San Francisco. It's great! Especially the location. It's close to everything. And what's more, the hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. If you want to explore the city, Cova is the one to stay. I highly recommend it! More
