At around 5 AM, I was woken up by loud noises from the room above me, which sounded like people running and children making noise. The walls seem to be paper-thin, as every sound from upstairs was clearly audible, making it impossible to get a good night’s rest. I chose this hotel for its convenience to the airport, but unfortunately, the lack of soundproofing greatly impacted my stay.

I work in the airline industry, which requires taxing conditions such as laboring long hours on the backside of the clock. The conditions we are exposed to challenge a person’s physiology. People in this industry are not looking for opulence, just simply a retreat to relax and recharge. Hotel Aura possesses all of the creature comforts that we utilize in a clean, comfortable environment. Operated by a friendly staff and all topped off with a fair price, what more could you ask for?

Stayed at this hotel for 7 nights, and everything was phenomenal. The room was clean, parking is free, and the area is nice. The only thing that wasn't alright was how loud the floor above us sounded. It was very creaky and loud when someone in the room above us was walking around. Either that person was huge, has no clue how to walk around, or that specific floor was just more creaky than others. I did end up getting used to it, but it definitely was annoying at first. I stayed in room 204, so keep that in mind.

I’m frustrated that they didn’t specify what’s gonna be the breakfast look like. They serve full of carbs and cold boiled egg. Some yogurts but expired. Room was okay but linens was dirt, not vet hygienic . The elevator and main reception smells terrible and hurt our nose.
