The location of the hotels is good. But we were not able to check in on time, and there was a smell in the room. I hope it can be improved.

The property was in a great location. The only complaint/concern was the lack of a night guard that was visible. I have stayed in Times Square four times now and every hotel except this one either had an elevator that needed a key to even open it to get in or a visible guard at the door. One night we saw one but he was on the couch on his phone and never even looked up when we came in and went up to our room.

Liked: Cleanliness

Heat and hot water were lacking.

Convenient location to Time Square. Room was comfortable and clean. The front desk staff was friendly and allowed me to check in early. However, the heat wasn’t working in the first room they gave me. The phone in the room had no cord attached, so I had to go down to the front desk to complain and get another room. Later that night when I went to take a shower there was no hot water and the water coming out of the tub facet was yellow. The front desk told me to let the water run for a while, which didn’t help. There was no hot water the next morning either. Also, the room thermostats seem pre-set at night and wouldn’t allow me to adjust the temperature above 70 degrees.

Carlos greeted me with “great to see you again” I felt like it was my home away from home from the beginning I walked in the lobby. I’ve never been there before. The staff was fun, friendly and welcoming. The room was spotless. Everytime I go to NYC Aura will be where I stay.
