Aurora is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Perfectly manicured by the groundskeepers, there is no garbage or litter to be found anywhere, no gum on the sidewalks…. an old picturesque small town, and nothing about it is rundown! Our rooms were beautifully modernized with a gorgeous bathroom and very comfortable bed. Every detail for your stay has been considered. Aurora is a special hidden gem! We had the most romantic stay, and have already recommended it to many of our friends. Well removed from the hustle and bustle of modern life, a stay at the Inns of Aurora is the perfect getaway. Immerse yourself within their perfectly curated bubble of bliss…. it is truly an unforgettable experience!

We would give it 10 stars if we could! The individual inns are spectacularly decorated, the spa is a magnificent property on its own with wonderful services and staff and the pools are amazing! The restaurants are amazing too plus the sommelier is very, very knowledgeable and Michael the bartender and server is one of a kind as is the server who will give birth to her first child in November. Lou who cooked for us at Aurora Cooks is a huge asset to the Inns of Aurora. Everything, and I mean everything, exceeded our expectations! Brava, Inns of Aurora!

This is quite possibly the best lodging experience I have had. Ever. The Four Seasons can learn a lot from the warm, welcoming, generosity we experienced. It was outstanding in every category. There is an appreciation for beauty and humanity at the Inns. We are coming back very soon. Thank you for a memorable stay.
