Easy check in and check out. Comfortable bed but no frills at all. Very old hotel with damaged areas in bathroom, amenities listed in description were not available. Expected more from a 4 star hotel.

This hotel was very suitable for my partner and I. Lovely view of the city, so many places around just to walk around in, time squares literally around the corner. I had such a blast with this hotel especially entering and smelling so good!

Decent stay. May stay again.

We got the small standard room. No microwave or fridge but we didn’t mind because we spent most of our stay outside of the hotel room. Only used it to sleep. Everything was pretty good. Only thing we had a little issue with was the attitude of the staff. They at first didn’t come off as very friendly but eventually some of the staff “warmed up” when speaking to us. We had an issue with the luggage man but other than that our stay was good. We enjoyed our complimentary drink at the bar next store.

I have stayed here twice. It is usually the best price I can find and for the money, its great. People are nice, check-in is fast, rooms are clean. There are no desks in the "Superior Queen" so if you plan to do any work, its your bed or a nearby shop. The gym smells moist - so much so that I dont want to work out there (I have asthma so my lings are sensitive).

Our room was freezing and the heat wouldn’t adjust it was fixed to certain settings and wouldn’t adjust for us. No extra blankets which made it very hard to sleep. Shower door was so short that water got all over the bathroom. The entry way smelled of strong bad cologne.

I have stayed at Aura hotel multiple times now and have always had a great experience! Hotel is right off times square and in a safe area. The only downside is no complimentary breakfast but the hotel is a walking distance to many cafes and diners! I would highly recommend staying here!
