I rented a nap room for two hours.Ashley Probst

I recently rented a private nap room from Freshen Up at the San Francisco International Airport.
I booked a room for 2 hours, and the facility also offered private shower rooms for 30 minutes.

As a frequent flyer, I'm always looking for special amenities to enhance my travel experiences.

It wasn't easy to find the nap rooms at first. My advice: Look out for maps of the airport to find the location.

The nap room was pretty small and I found it to be a little loud.

There were a lot of helpful amenities, but I didn't use most of them.

Napping for an hour was refreshing, especially since I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before.

The showers came with all of the toiletries I needed, which was great.

I enjoyed my experience at Freshen Up but walked away debating if the price was worth it.
