Aura is a cute very well maintained place. Our room was comfortable, quiet and very clean. Even though the motel is close to the street, we heard zero noise during the night.

It was fine for sleeping. Rooms are small but do the job. If you spend lots of time in your room, I'd stay somewhere else but if you're out exploring all day and need a nice place to stay, this is it. It can unfortunately get loud early in the AM with the rooms rooms being right outside the parking lot...and speaking of parking, it's not great. We got back about 9pm each night and the lot would be full or one night there was one spot on the opposite side of where our room was. Price point though, we'd stay here again.

The rooms were nice and spacious. The chairs in the room were not that comfortable, a softer chair would have been nice. The parking spaces were quite narrow - when we went to get in our car in the morning, we could hardly get in, because the other cars were so close (and all the cars were in the lines). An ice machine upstairs would have been nice too. The rooms were quiet and the beds were comfortable.

Ehhhh maybe a last resort hotel

After coming here on a business trip, I had some expensive things in my vehicle (truck) I want it to be near my room so I could keep an eye on it. Was told to move it to an exterior parking area which I could not see. It they wouldn’t accommodate me (by moving their car or letting me park in a reserved parking spot. Just told me where to move it and took off….definitely won’t be coming back here..
