We had a great experience at the Aurora Hotel! The room was clean and comfortable, and the rooftop lounge area was very well-kept with a great view of the town and bay. The best part however, was the staff! The staff was super friendly, well-informed, and very easy to talk to. They put on wonderful welcome wine and cheese tastings and breakfasts for the weekend. We had fun conversations and had all our questions answered! Thank you to everyone at the Aurora Hotel for an amazing and memorable weekend!
