Nova Hotel Brooklyn

I’ll stay again for sure

Stayed here for the weekend for the Knicks Finals and the Puerto Rican Day Parade after unfortunately having to leave our first hotel because it wasn’t what we expected. This hotel truly came through for us when we needed it most. Although they’re still putting some final touches on the property with minor renovations, we didn’t hear any construction noise during our stay. The room was clean, quiet, and included convenient amenities like complimentary bottled water, a mini fridge, and a microwave. We also had a balcony. The view wasn’t anything spectacular, but it overlooked the street where we parked our car, which gave us some peace of mind. Street parking was easy to find, and since parking is free on weekends, it worked out perfectly for our trip. The L train is also just a short walk,so we never had to move our car once. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there’s no real breakfast area. They have a small coffee station with a few seats, but I was hoping for a bit more. It wasn’t a huge issue, just something to keep in mind if breakfast is important to you. They also have a gym, which I didn’t get a chance to use, but it looked nice. The highlight of our stay was definitely the rooftop. It’s on the smaller side, but it’s beautiful, with great views of the city, a bar, and TVs. We were able to watch the Knicks Finals there without dealing with the packed sports bars. Instead, we got to celebrate with other hotel guests in a much more relaxed state.

This was an interesting hotel that didn’t feel well, hotelish. The lobby was very quiet but the staff were very helpful. The room was well appointed and the location was convenient for what I needed. There were nice amenities in the bathroom(toothbrush, soap, lotion) I didn’t sleep that well. It could have been because of the not-so-comfortable mattress or because I had a lot in my mind. Probably a bit of both. The rooftop bar was pretty with nice views but the drinks were way, way overpriced.
