We arrived earlier than the check in time but our room was ready and they checked us in for no additional fee. The room was clean and was very quiet for NYC. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. This place is on our list to return to another time.

Shin Jeong, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well, we've stay at the Aura Hotel before, just last year. It's hard to believe that for about $100 more per night, the room was actually smaller. The water pressure was low and very inconsistent, not as I remember. The staff is very nice and it is overall vey clean.
Kathleen, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was very courteous. Lots of squeaking, chirpy type noises all night long but could not tell where they kept coming from. Water would not stay warm in shower, towels super rough.

Nice rooms, extremely rude staff. Good location
Jillian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This place was really good and definitely a great find! Staff location and cleanliness were top tier. Our only complaint was the shower was extremely small. While showering we were unable to move the shower head and it rained down on you as you try to shampoo and wash. The small gap at the bottom of the shower door would also allow a lot of water to spill onto the floor. We were in room 212
