Aura Hotel SFO

A good location relatively close to SFO. Not much around the hotel late at night and had to wait almost 1 hour for the shuttle. And had to leave at 6:00 AM to get back to the airport so we missed the continental breakfast. The hotel was new, clean, quiet and felt safe

Such caring staff

I arrived into SFO on a late flight so I slept in late and missed breakfast at the morning hotel cafe. The front desk clerk made helped me to get a coffee and a muffin and yogurt. She was so kind and understanding. I've stayed at this hotel a lot and will continue to do so. It's starting to feel like my home away from home when I travel.

I travel to San Francisco 4 nights a year for work. About 6 months ago I tried Aura based on price and reviews. I was very happy with the cleanliness, friendly staff and free parking. It is now my regular hotel, and was very satisfied again this trip.

The parking is included with your stay. The room itself was huge. There was a couch & the queen sized bed in the room and there was still so much space. Room was clean & There was no hidden fees everything was super straight forward. Breakfast is also included. Simple stuff such as bread, pastry’s, waffles, & juice/coffee but for the price you honestly can’t complain at all.
