Disliked: Cleanliness
This is a home in a residential neighborhood. Enter through the garage and you do have access to the living room and dining area. You need to have an access code to enter into the neighborhood which makes it difficult for Uber or taxi. Nice clean accommodations but not the hotel I was expecting. The shuttle has limited hours so it didn’t work for our early flight.

The staff at Aurora Express was super friendly & accommodating. We arrived 2 hours before check in and they already had our room ready. Definitely a plus that it’s in a gated community. They only serve breakfast at Aurora Express but my husband and I found a little gem if you’re looking to get dinner, walking distance & delicious home cooked meal. On google maps it says “Changarro de Don Mario” Don Mario is the chef and whatever is on the menu for the day is made to order! It’s a fabulous little place, we can’t wait to go back and eat there.

Disliked: Staff & service
The Property would be a nice Bed and Breakfast but it is not a convenient option for airport users. The property appears to be run by two teenage girls who promised to call me taxi at 4AM because their airport shuttle doesn't start till daytime. It is a gated community so I didn't think I could Uber a ride. I had to stomp around the house yelling after trying to call their number and using the door buzzer before someone awoke. This delayed my airport arrival and added additional stress to a 5:20 AM international flight.

Great budget hotel

The place is a great budget hotel. The staff here are so friendly and sweet. And there are fresh flowers to greet you in a common areas. When you see the dining room and the mountain views from the dining room with the large table. You'll think you're in your grandma's house. It is a little noisy because it's next to the airport. But it does back to a big beautiful. Open area call drewn looking area. So there's lots of birds to listen to also. What's most important is the bed. Is comfortable clean and so is the bathroom. You might not have hot water. But it's plenty warm here anyway. It. Is in a gated village area and so there are no restaurants nearby. But they will call you a driver so you can go to restaurants on the other side of the airport where there are many.

If you want a nice room to stay at this is the place if you don't mind a house. No nightlife. Tranquil. Gated community. Host was very friendly.

Love staying at Aurora Express. Natalia and her team have always taken great care of my family. We are. Family of 7 and she was willing to pick us up at the airport with all our luggage. The family room works wonderfully for us and the breakfast the next morning is always well done and welcomed after a day of travel.
