They called the police on me because I was late to checkout I would not recommend this hotel at all due to the harassment I faced from the management, I advise no one to stay at this hotel so that they realize what they did was wrong

The staff was amazing! The neighborhood was in a great location! The room was perfect with the exception that the hot water in the shower was NOT very hot the 1st day and nonexistent the second day. I was told by the staff to wait for the water to heat back up because they had maintenance issues, but the water never heated up before we had to leave hours later. I complained to the front desk that we were not happy with the situation, so he took my email address for the manager to contact me, but I have yet to hear from him/her two weeks later! I’ll be staying somewhere else next time!

Not a resort, better hotel rooms nearby for less

Not a resort, not even a lobby. Rooms squeezed into an alley. Don't open the curtains. Thermostat on the wall is fake. Don't pay the resort fees.

Not so great

This was our second stay at the Aura, and I'm not sure if we'll be back. The air conditioning was very loud and the bathroom and entry smelled very strongly of mildew. i would have asked for a different room. but we didn't get into the room until late at night.

Cozy but was a fine stay

Would have liked a slightly longer blanket but the ones we had were fine! There was a crusty sock under one of the mattresses when we got there. We threw it out. Otherwise the room was fine, it was small but given the location that’s what we expected. We used it to sleep and it was effective for that! Would stay again, fantastic central location (which does mean some city noise if that matters to you)
