The location and hotel overall are both great. We’ve lived on both 2nd and 11th floors; excessive noise wasn’t an issue and we slept peacefully despite the area being very busy. Size of rooms is fair for the price and rooms condition is mostly very good, apart from minor issues that didn’t really make a major impact on our experience. The staff was absolutely amazing: they’re all very polite, helpful, friendly, efficient and problem-solving oriented; we’ve appreciated it a lot. The only issue to us was the water pressure in the shower and the water temperature wasn’t hot enough. We’ve been offered another room with pressure being a little better but not great overall to be completely honest, though the water was then hot enough. We also wish the cleaning was more thorough, for the floor and surfaces to be cleaned better in particular. Overall a pleasant stay, a happy holiday at Aura.

Great midtown location with quick access to subway and walk to nearby attractions. Though Times Square is always busy with pedestrians and traffic. Because of street closures due to a parade, we couldn’t park on 44th. adjacent to the hotel. Not happy to have to park on 47th for much more $$$ than in the garages next to the hotel.

Disliked: Room comfort

Way too small

The room was neat and clean. However, the room is excruciatingly small. There is only a small closet area to hang clothes. There wasn’t a dresser. Living out of a suitcase would be fine, except there isn’t a place to open the luggage except for the bed or on the floor in front of the door. The bathroom door didn’t shut. In the middle of the night the sound of a helicopter landing on the roof woke me up. I got up to see and realized it was the air conditioner. Would not stay again.

This was my second stay at the Aura. The location is prime. The only fault was that we could hear the band in the bar next door until midnight one night. Fortunately, we didn’t return to our room until about 11:45, so we didn’t have to deal with it for long.
