I like the convenience of having the small fridge, microwave and keurig coffee maker. To top off, the continental breakfast was scrumptious. The property location is accessible to several restaurants and shops. Ample guest parking. Nothing fancy but very reasonable and practical. I will definitely stay at Hotel Aura next time I'm in the bay area.

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.
