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.

Really good value for dollar, great staff, decent breakfast, on time shuttle service. The rooms were a bit noisy as the walls were pretty thin, but good value relative and reasonably priced.

Awesome Spot
Check-in was smooth and quick. The room was very clean and comfortable. There is a small parking garage below the building with an elevator. The water comes out hot, and I really liked the shampoo/conditioner. We are only staying one night, so it checks all the boxes for us. The only thing is I wish the bed was a little softer but that’s most hotels.
