“The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We really liked the convenient location close to the main street. It was also”
We enjoyed the room itself very much. The view from the window was wonderful. The room was compact and small, but it had absolutely everything we needed, which made it very comfortable and convenient. We also appreciated the bathrobes, the USB charging ports conveniently located near the desk, and the regular outlets for other devices and electronics. The complimentary cold water in the refrigerator was a very nice touch as well. We also appreciated the thoughtful amenities provided in the room, such as shower caps, cotton swabs, cotton pads, shampoo, shower gel, lotion, and a good supply of clean towels.

“Nice hotel but...”
The only thing that was really worth it in the hotel was the rooftop. The view was amazing and it was really worth eating breakfast there.

“A lovely stay and a great spot”
We had a standard ocean view room (213) which came with a balcony. The room was small, but everything that we needed was in there. The extra for the ocean view was well worth it. The staff were all helpful and the opportunity to use the hotels beach towels was a nice touch. The location was good. Just a short distance from the ferry and main street. However it is up a quite steep hill which was not a problem.

“Small rooms, hill location, pleasant stay”
Friendly, welcoming staff; they were able to store our luggage for us, since we arrived early before check-in. We also got to check into our rooms early! Appreciate the complementary water bottles in the room and water dispenser in the lobby. Rooftop patio outside was gorgeous with views of the harbor and city. Had A/C, which is perfect for the upcoming hot summer. Appreciated the complementary breakfast, even though I didn't end up having it.

“excellent”
our stay at Aurora Hotel was excellent. The hospitality was great, staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean and the roof top deck is a great add on. They also helped us check in early. And next day they hold off the baggage for us and check out. And they ordered some deserts also as we were celebrating our Anniversary
