Really liked this small hotel, which is a short drive to SFO. The room was well appointed, beds were very comfortable, everything was very clean, and the staff was great. I especially appreciated that I could park my car there for only $15/day while on a week long trip.

Recommended - Great value with nice rooms.
This place is about 15 minutes from SFO on the free shuttle bus, which also serves 3 similar budget hotels. The pricing of all hotels in the area has gone up significantly since my previous trip, and I switched to the Hotel Aura from the Holiday Inn Express (where I stayed previously) because it was a little bit less expensive. Everything was perfectly OK. Check-in was smooth and efficient and my room was spacious and immaculate. Breakfast was a bit carb-heavy, and maybe not as good as the Holiday-Inn, but the room was actually better. The front desk staff were polite and friendly. I would recommend this place to travelers wanting a one-night stop-over.
