Aurora Vacations from $296

Paid online in full. Then they pull $100 for security deposit separately at ✔️ in and then you have to do a walk through before you l leave to get your $100 back. Ghetto inconvenience when leaving. Place is cute. Sketchy though.

No sign on the building should have prepped us… The front desk was unmanned. There was a sign stating to call a room # for assistance. We did so and after a few minutes a rep arrived, sat down and asked “reservation?” No greeting. I provided our name, she said “ID.” I gave her ID. Next was “CC or cash for deposit”. No explanation of amount, simply “CC or cash.” She printed a paper, wrote an X and pushed it at me. I asked “Do you need a signature?” A clipped “yes”. My career has been in customer service and I was astounded at this “first customer impression.” So much so that I asked her name: Hannah. Hannah is better suited for a non-customer facing job. On a bright note, the room was clean. The toilet did not function well and the shower was slow to drain, but that’s not a maid issue (other than reporting to maintenance). Complimentary in-room coffee was nasty, but the machine appeared to be clean (always do a self clean too; don’t ask why, take my word and just do it). There was only one small soap. If you decide to book, bring along a shower soap. The “complimentary lobby coffee” was a machine which appeared unused in months. Checkout was worse than Hannah. The man was extremely inconvenienced at our ringing him to the desk at 10:00AM. He irritated me so I requested a receipt to simply inconvenience him. Yeah, whatever. You (almost) get what you pay for; it was clean. Don’t know the name of the place as the sign was covered. There was an Under New Management sign.

The hotel is peaceful and quiet plus you don’t hear anything from other rooms. The staff are very pleasant and so helpful. The amenities are a plus Kuerig coffee and cups and creamer plus wine glasses and opener. Mini fridge. An atrium with colorful bistro sets and games and coffee. Location is perfect. Walking distance to all you want or need. Free cafe breakfast from 7-9 good food. Other nice little things. We loved our stay.
