We picked this property due to the pictures and the location. It’s definitely not the cheapest place to staff but it was our anniversary, so we splurged a little. Anyways, at check in I found out there are no refrigerators in the rooms. Once in the room we found there was no hot water for us to take showers or wash our hands. We called and they said it was out in the entire hotel. This continued for most of our stay. The staff was unhelpful and eventually stopped answering the phone. We had to check out early due to them not having hot water. This was truly our worst experience with the hotel. But a good thing was the lobby smelled nice.

Clean and Great Location

Stayed here for a couple nights to see a show at Radio City. The location was great, it's less than a 10 min walk from Radio City which was perfect for us! We like walking and exploring the city. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here! Our room was very clean and comfortable. Hotel staff was very professional, helpful & friendly. Fastest check-in process I've ever gone through which I really appreciated after a 4 and a half hour road trip! Rates were excellent, all things considered. We paid for parling in the garage next door, cost us $120 for 3 days. The hotel does charge a resort fee, but you get a couple free drink tickets to the restaurant & bar next door which is nice! The lobby smells absolutely amazing, like sandalwood. Only negative about this location is the elevators, they are tiny and can only fit 2-3 people max. This was kind of annoying during check-out when everyone is trying to get downstairs with their luggage. You will have to wait a while for an elevator, but other than this we loved this hotel and wouldn't hesitate to rebook here for our next NYC trip!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was super clean and it seems they have made upgrades as the condition of the room seemed new and the lobby was nice. The area is close to Times Square, 5th Ave but not in the middle of it which is what I was going for and the area was quiet which it was nice. The rooms space is small, but I was expecting that based on reviews and honestly it worked perfect for me. My recommendation is if they can invest on things like the foldable luggage rack that could make a difference to make up for space. Also the fee for welcome drinks and wifi was excessive. The fee per day was higher than my WiFi bill per month and I didn’t use the drink coupons. Recommendation for alternative considerations instead of drinks maybe metro card coupon to/from airport. That would be more beneficial imo and appreciated. Other than that for solo trips to NYC I would book with Aura again.

The location of this hotel is perfect. Right off of Times Square. Friendly staff. Quick deliveries when we needed things in our room. The room was very clean. Only complaint is the temperature in the room. It’s either freezing or burning up. No middle ground. We would definitely stay here again.
