Hotel Aluxor SFO

Hotel Aluxor SFO

4/10 Poor
"Honestly the rooms weren’t as clean as i’d hoped. I always check the bed sheets when I first get there. There was hair on the sheets and stains. Honestly felt kinda dirty sleeping there. Also the shuttle only operates morning till 11:30AM and then back again at 3PM until night (?) It’s not a 24/7 shuttle like they claim on their website so ask ahead or you won’t get a free shuttle ride."
