I love that this place is so close to the airport and that it was easy to get to. It was easy to check in and out. However, their bed listed as "Queen" size is definitely not queen size. It's a full size. Two people barely fit, unless both people are small sized. That made for an uncomfortable sleep.

Lovely place to stay with the family. Close to the city center (San Francisco) and very close to the airport (San Francisco airport). Free bus shuttle from the airport to the hotel. Easy to get around using public transport (i.e. Uber, Taxi and a bus).

Shuttle Problem
The only complaint i have is that the shuttle from the airport was close to half an hour late. As the Aura was the final delivery spot, my arrival was late indeed.
