Nice and convenient hotel

Good pricing for a good size room. Very clean with all the amenities. Free parking and good breakfast. Some background noise from El Camino traffic at night but, on the hand, strategic location to San Francisco or Airport, 101 or 280.

Hotel Aura exceeds my 3 criteria for a great hotel stay - CLEAN, QUIET, SAFE with the added bonus of being affordable. Rooms are absolutely spotless, including every inch of the bathroom. Keurig with good coffee pods in room. Great beds, linens and pillows. Also has a simple included breakfast of fruits, yogurt, pastries, etc plus a waffle maker. Onsite easy parking. Get a top floor room as you can hear neighbors a bit through the walls but not too bad and it's not a party hotel. And very nice front desk staff.
