Good Value in San Bruno

Clean, comfortable, safe. Good free parking. Friendly staff. Close to SFO. Furnishings somewhat worn. Breakfast OK, could be much better. Airport shuttle slow and limited hours of operation.

Hotel Aura - great hotel

Hotel Aura is a small boutique hotel in San Bruno. 10 minutes from SFO. The hotel provides limited airport shuttle service. The rooms are generously sized, clean and updated. Bed is comfortable. Included breakfast is a typical U.S. continental breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised and pleased. We chose this hotel for its location and included free parking as our stay was in the middle of a California National Parks Tour. Great food options within walking distance 1-6 blocks. Laundromat (Summer’s Laundry) is within walking distance. We will stay here again in the future.
