We have to come to SF regularly, specifically UCSF. We have stayed somewhere different every time. This place was great. Parking was easy (not if you have a big vehicle). Upon entering the lobby it smelled great!! The man at reception was friendly and smiling (maybe a first for that)/ The 2 bed room was good size, clean and we love to have a fridge and microwave. The mountain view was beautiful. The breakfast was great. Waffles, English muffins, juice, coffee, yogurt, eggs and cheese and assorted hot teas and condiments. We will be back. This was a great bang for the buck!! (Also ran into a few workers having breakfast and were quick to see if we needed help, we only had jumped off the elevator one floor past the breakfast)

The Hotel Aura was a pleasant surprise. The room was very nice and clean. The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. The morning breakfast was good and convenient. And the free parking was much appreciated.

Another successful business trip!

Always friendly staff, nice big clean quiet room. Perfect for my regular trips for work throughout the year. Not much to do in walking distance, but all I need is Celia’s Mexican restaurant right across the street!

Clean and Convenient

Very easy check in with a delightful receptionist. Rooms were quiet and beds were comfortable, but the shower had very low water pressure. Breakfast was decent, but mostly carbs (bread/waffles) - could’ve used some fresh fruit. We’re grateful to have parking under the building. Overall, we were pleased with our stay.

Staff was very welcoming and gave good tips on touring the San Francisco area and ways to maximize our fun. Free daily breakfast made it easier on the pocket than having to go out and find somewhere to eat for breakfast.

Nice little piece close to the airport. The staff were super kind. Shuttle was a long wait and I wish we didn’t have to wait for 50 minutes at the airport. The vending machine was out of water but a super kind lady at the front desk let us fill up the bottles at their staff filter station. That saved the day.

This hotel is a good option for staying near San Francisco or the airport SFO. It is newer, clean, quiet and well maintained. The parking is free (which is remarkable in the Bay Area) and is in the covered area underneath the hotel. The room itself is fine; the “2 queen beds” do not seem to be full queen beds. Maybe they are “full” beds instead. All I know is that my feet hung off the bottom of the bed. (I’m 6’3”) The water pressure in the bathroom sink is pretty poor. It has just a trickle of water, so it takes twice or three times longer to wash your hands. I asked the front desk person to take a look at it, and he said all the other rooms were just the same, so it is apparently just how it is at this hotel. The man at the front desk was very accommodating and very friendly. His name was Michael. Overall, I would say this hotel is fine for a short stay.
