Very clean and comfortable room at Aurora Hotel – ideal for an early flight. Restaurant staff were super kind (even lent me utensils when I forgot!). Bathroom wet-dry separation isn’t perfect (water splashes on floor), but it’s a minor issue. Quiet, convenient location, and great value. Would stay again!

Have stayed at the Aurora 3 or 4 times as it’s so easy to get to/from the airport for an early flight or connection. Loved the new refurbished room and bathroom during my latest stay. Very clean, great breakfast, friendly staff. The new bathroom needs hooks for clothes/towels and a bath towel for the floor as it gets wet when showering, but other than that everything was great.
