Great customer service. The only thing was the shower didn’t have a sliding door so half of the shower was exposed. The bathroom heater did not work. I traveled in the winter so it was pretty freezing in the bathroom.

Gave me a room right next to elevator, you can’t even close your eyes and have some rest, they agreed to change it next day, the other room had the most annoying noise from the heater and the ceiling. The whole hotel needs maintenance. Location was good. But will never come back to this hotel.

We enjoyed our stay at Aura. The room and hotel was clean and workers were nice. Our towels were restocked every day, as was our rooms cleaned and our things organized. The room is not too small for a boutique hotel (we got a deluxe queen), but the lobby is quite small and doesn't have drinks/snacks to purchase like most hotels. The only downside in the room was the shower was small if you're larger (my husband is 6'3" tall and had a hard time) and it also ran between freezing cold and blazing hot - there was hardly an in between making it frustrating to take a shower. The beds were comfy and we could turn the fan on the air conditioner to drown out the city noise and get some good sleep. The location was fantastic—10/10. It was right next to Times Square (could see it from lobby exit) and just a few blocks away from Rockefeller Center and the Radio City Music Hall. Overall, we would stay here again despite the shower issues.

I previously reported that the room I originally reserved and paid for was not assigned. I had to make repeated calls requesting the 2 beds I originally ordered. Also, several staff gave me different information regarding parking access for the New Year’s Eve holiday, which caused me to incur further expenses. There were no vending machines or snack bars. Not even a bottle of water in the room. I had to go out in the middle of the night and walk to buy a snack and water. Previously I was transferred to speak with the manager, KeShawn before I arrived regarding the room and his voicemail was full!
