We arrived earlier than the check in time but our room was ready and they checked us in for no additional fee. The room was clean and was very quiet for NYC. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. This place is on our list to return to another time.

Drew, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well, we've stay at the Aura Hotel before, just last year. It's hard to believe that for about $100 more per night, the room was actually smaller. The water pressure was low and very inconsistent, not as I remember. The staff is very nice and it is overall vey clean.
Kathleen, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic location. Clean, comfortable. Good value for money. Safe area, handy for attractions - walkable. Helpful receptionists, easy smooth check in and check out.
Louise, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was very courteous. Lots of squeaking, chirpy type noises all night long but could not tell where they kept coming from. Water would not stay warm in shower, towels super rough.
