Good hotel in a horrible neighborhood Hotel is ok. Safe and clean. Affordable. Breakfast dull, but ok. Generous happy hours with free wine. Recommended
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I really enjoy my stay in The Cova, staff was amazing and super friendly, complementary wine was such a surprise and also Breakfast I blew me away. I know I stayed during a very difficult time for the city of SF where everything was shut down, but I must say I felt safe in the hotel, and the hotel provided us with hand sanitizer and it was great. Only thing it was the homeless situation smoking outside but I understand that out of their hands to stop it. Over all I really enjoyed it.

During the virus epidemic it was so nice to have this place to stay at while my son received a surgical procedure. I would love to come back when things are normal!

Me gusto mucho el hotel y los empleados muy amables, muy buenas extras como desayunos y happy hour, lo único malo es mucho homeless alrededor y se meten al parqueo a fumar o inyectarse drogas. Por lo demás es perfecto

I have found people hair on my pillows that was grossly now I wonder if all the days I stay if they even changed the sheets
5-night trip

6/10 Good

I enjoyed that the shuttle was available for people like us that had no idea how to get around. We enjoyed the breakfast variety, taste. The only thing that was difficult is parking and that there is a high homeless population. It was extremely scary to walk anywhere.

8/10 Very good

The hotel was clean and desk staff we worked with were very friendly. There is convenient valet parking on the property. Beats trying to figure out parking in the city if you have your own vehicle. The "balcony" that was advertised was a joke. We had a sliding glass door that opened to railing. There was no actual balcony. We had a view of the transients all over the street. This hotel has no air conditioner or heating system. Thankfully it wasn't hot during our stay, the little fan they provided was sufficient. The bed was extremely uncomfortable to me. The mattress was VERY firm. The location is awful. Smack dab in the middle of the tenderloin. The complimentary breakfast was in a nice little room with plenty of table and chairs. Don't expect bacon and eggs type breakfast. It's hard boiled eggs, pastries, cereal, etc. It was nice though. Overall, our one night stay was good for the price, but I'm not sure I will be coming back. The super hard mattresses and the scary homeless people just outside the hotel were the deal breaker for me.

Ótimo hotel em uma região péssima!
O hotel é confortável, bom atendimento e com mimos aos hospedes como van em alguns horários para a Union Square e Fishmanswharf e até uma degustação gratuita de vinhos no Happy Hour. O café da manhã padrão americano era bom e atendeu bem. O grande problema é a região onde ele está localizado, que apesar de ser no centro, erelativamente perto do metrô, a região é lotada de moradores de rua, causando uma péssima sensação de insegurança em todos os horários e em várias ruas ao seu redor. Apesar do conforto, essa sensação estragou a minha percepção de San Francisco e por isso recomendo que fiquem em ouro bairro.
