Our stay at the Aura hotel was short and sweet . Barbara was so welcoming and sweet. She helped us find activities to do in the city and suggested cute restaurant ideas. Carlos always had a smile on his face and ready to help. Over all had a great stay, the hotel was the perfect location 2 min walk from all the main attractions.

This was a very nice boutique hotel for a great price right off Times Square. The staff was very friendly and the room was great. The only thing I didn’t like was that you couldn’t turn off the fan at night. If you aren’t into white noise when you sleep, make sure to contact the front desk.
