What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Aura SFO Airport FREE SHUTTLE is praised for clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, friendly service, and a convenient SFO location with free parking, making it a practical stopover for late arrivals or early flights.

Many guests find the airport shuttle handy, though it runs about once per hour with restricted hours, shared routes, and occasional delays or crowding. Breakfast is generally basic with waffles, pastries, cereals and pre‑made omelets, and seating can be limited. Noise from thin walls, intermittent Wi‑Fi, and low water pressure are recurring drawbacks for some. Expect a clean, no‑frills airport stay focused on convenience.

Facilities

Free covered parking is appreciated, though the garage is small and spaces can be tight. The airport shuttle is useful but typically runs hourly with limited hours and shared routes, so it can be crowded or delayed.

The shuttle is infrequent. Do not drop your rental car off the night before and shuttle back to the hotel. You will spend an additional two hours there and back. Just pay for one more night car rental and save your time.

Excellent value for money, very friendly front desk and very luxurious mattresses. But we might not have selected this property if we had known the "free airport shuttle" to SFO had restricted hours. We ended up spending $25 for an Uber to return to the airport because the shuttle hadn't started yet. So, lesson learned to ask if the shuttle runs 24/7 or not.

Hotel is good for a layover, close to the airport, With free airports shuttle, but the shuttle didn't turn up to pick us up after nearly an hour wait. Rang up the hotel and was told to wait for another hour and a half, we ended up calling an uber to get to the hotel. The airport shuttle the next morning was ok and in in time.

Bottom line is everything is overpriced nowadays. Given that reality, this is reasonably priced in an inflated environment. Because of that, I could use them again if there wasn’t a better value available. The woman at the front desk who has worked there for 10 years was friendly and helpful. Specifically: Shuttle runs every hour and makes many stops for other hotels, is pretty small and can get crowded. Check out is 11 am and the shuttle doesn’t operate from 11:08 am to 3 pm. So they try to make sure you’re out at 11 am. If you want a late checkout and want to also use the shuttle, keep this in mind. WIFI was bad. I was in room 311. Breakfast was very basic. I could have skipped the breakfast and it would not have been a loss. Room is spacious but dated. Certain things should be replaced. No smart tv.

Hotel is older but impressively clean and my room was a generous size. Slept well and ready for my flight the next morning. They do offer a shuttle, but I took a quick Uber. Great stop for travelers!

Shuttle was relatively easy to find (SFO needs more visible signage to hotel shuttles), it was clean and staff were friendly. I noticed there was a problem with WiFi while waiting in line to check in. Ended up it was never functional -- it just ghosted you, showing that you had wifi (on both phone and laptop), but not really connecting, so that I had to actually turn off WiFi for my phone to function. However... I only got one bar or less from anywhere in the hotel, so I was effectively cut off and had to go outside in the rain to make a phone call or search for nearby food! While I'm grousing, which I rarely make the effort to do, the eggs were the only thing that wasn't sugar, starch, or both for breakfast... except the only option was to take a mini omelette filled with something like cheese whiz, GAK. Good thing there were some fresh, crisp apples, but whew, couldn't wait to get to the airport for some real food, however expensive.

Pros: Quick ride to SFO on their free shuttle. The room was spacious , well lit and had ample electrical outlets. Free continental breakfast. Cons: road noise around the clock. The walks are paper thin. Unfortunately the room overhead had children running back and forth for hours. And if someone flushed a toilet upstairs or ran water, it sounded like Niagara Falls was running through the walls.

The property is well taken care of and the front desk associates were nice. Our room was good, for one night. Breakfast was good but there wasn't a lot of protein options. The downside is you can hear EVERYTHING in this hotel. The walls are paper thin. Walking down the hallways you can here conversations behind every door without intending to. The people next door were getting busy with it and it felt like it was in the same room.

The woman at the front desk was wonderful, helpful, and very pleasant. BUT I chose Aura for the shuttle bus service to and from SFO and the hotel. I called the hotel when I landed to request the shuttle and a woman said THERE WAS NO SHUTTLE and to take an Uber of taxi! I had to pay $35 to get to Aura, and found out they DO have a shuttle. I was very upset and wasted $35 due to inaccurate information. Why did this happen?

Place was clean and quiet. Rooms have a lot of space. The bathrooms are huge with everything upgraded. The breakfast is decent. Waffle station, packaged oatmeal, yogurt, apples, coffee, muffins, bread, packaged pastries, cereal, milk, juice machine, tea bags, hot water. They had these eggs that didn’t look very appetizing and there is no meat like bacon, ham or sausage. The staff is very nice there. Water pressure in shower is very good. A/C and heater unit work very well. Pillows are not the best so take your own. TV has a lot of channels to choose from.
