Great location and good hotel. Only problem was the PA system is very hard to hear and there was a false emergency alarm going off when I was staying. Couldn't understand what they were saying on the PA. Had to go down to the lobby as if there was an emergency. They need to fix that PA system.

We had a great stay at the Aura Hotel. It was a great location (steps away from Times Square). There was always staff at the front desk. Check in and check out were super easy. The only negative to this hotel room was poor water pressure in the shower, but this was a minor inconvenience and did not impact our stay one bit.

Customer Service was great...very helpful. I was not aware this was a "Boutique" Hotel" which is ok, but was a surprise for the cost. The rooms were supposedly upgraded 5 months ago, but the HVAC was not working. It was very difficult to change the shower water temp. It was stuck on Hot. Had to tilt the cover of the unit and manually set temps, the reading lamps on the bed were broken, the sheets and towels felt like shards of glass, because they were so rough. I felt the Destination Charge was a bit high $45.00 per day for really nothing. This hotel would not be my 2nd - 9th choice. I doubt I will stay here again.

Erika

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff was unknowledgable and unhelpful. They didn’t know what times for breakfast. They forgot my vouchers for my complimentary welcome drink. When I called for the WiFi password agent on the phone said “it on your room sleeve.” I let him know I didn’t have it and he let out a deep sigh and said it so fast that when I asked him to repeat it he sighed again. Then I said thank you and he literally hung up the line. One of my night stays I got back in at 2am and there was no one downstairs, elevator wide open etc… no security around. That was a wrap for me. Anything could happen and no one would know or be around. Anyone could walk in off the street and go straight up to a floor. Moving on to the room… the comforter on the bed was as thick as 2 sheets put together. It was 30 degrees, why would you have bed linens like this. I asked for an extra blanket or a thicker one and was told that’s all they have. Also, no mini complimentary water bottles and there is no restaurant in the place so be prepared to bring waters to your room in case you get thirsty at night. I had to go every morning and fill a water bottle next door. The only person who was polite and helpful my entire stay was the bell man who kindly opened my door at departure. I travel A LOT and I have to say this is one of the worst customer service hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Every worker I encountered felt like they did not want to be there. I personally would not come back.
