The hotel is newly remodeled and the staff is great. Only issue I had is the shuttle bus doesn't run between noon and 3pm to do pickups and drop offs to airport.

At around 5 AM, I was woken up by loud noises from the room above me, which sounded like people running and children making noise. The walls seem to be paper-thin, as every sound from upstairs was clearly audible, making it impossible to get a good night’s rest. I chose this hotel for its convenience to the airport, but unfortunately, the lack of soundproofing greatly impacted my stay.

I work in the airline industry, which requires taxing conditions such as laboring long hours on the backside of the clock. The conditions we are exposed to challenge a person’s physiology. People in this industry are not looking for opulence, just simply a retreat to relax and recharge. Hotel Aura possesses all of the creature comforts that we utilize in a clean, comfortable environment. Operated by a friendly staff and all topped off with a fair price, what more could you ask for?
