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.

Important things when staying at a hotel: 1. Safety; 2. Cleanliness; 3. Quality of sleep; 4. Internet. 1 and 2 were good. 3 was terrible. Couldn’t sleep most nights due to steps, noise and vibrations on the room above. 4. Internet was unusable.
