Hotel Aluxor SFO, Sapphire Boutique Collection


SERVICE & CHECKIN -- Hard & stern 2pm for earliest early checkin 💔. This was a drag, yet they delivered good customer service overall.

Laundry services are available on-site as well as covered parking,

LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORS -- The reception area connected to the garage is vastly underwhelming & oddly architected.

Their common area (1st floor) on the other hand, was impressive. It's such an incredibly peaceful & beautiful decorated space.

The elevators are god-awful slow to the point of being inconvenient, which is incredible since there's only 3 floors...


ROOM (1) (2) -- The two configurations I tried were both excellent.

Comfortably spacious for 2, with good amenities & stock.

Lighting was excellent and the Armoire was sized just right for my extended stay.


BED -- Both configurations were conducive for good sleep, checking all my boxes: clean, soft, & cozy.

The pillow build was exceptional too.


BATH -- Gravely average bath experience.

Decent water pressure, Decent towels, decent (smaller) size.

The tiling was amazing.


TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- They nailed it: Good setup, brand, dimensions, & mount.

Excellent picture quality & accessibility to ports which made it great for streaming Google TV


WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- Very asymmetrical throughput.

--Performance--

Video streaming - poor

Online gaming - poor

Video chatting - poor

--Nerd Stats--

37-49 Mbps download

3-8 Mbps upload

0% packet loss

28 ms latency

17 ms jitter


FOOD & DRINK -- DoorDash friendly.

Vending machines on property along with ice on floors.

Drinks in lobby & some utensils.

Medium size mini fridge in the units & mini microwave.


NOISE -- Very noisy. Doors slamming echoes throughout the wall. Being directly on a major road also doesn't help.


LOCATION -- Conveniently located on el Camino.

Felt safe throughout the day.


VERDICT

Service could be a bit more lively & the noise level was frustrating to deal with.

It's still a competitively priced location which proved to be great for an extended (1w) stay.

I'd recommend this property & would stay here again.

4/5 ⭐️
