Aura is a great property in an ideal location if looking to be close to Time Square with shopping and restaurants galore. The only true downfall to the property was the elevators - very slow and small . During check out time this morning, the housekeeping staff had one fully occupied, stopping @ each floor, to pick up dirty linens.

Room was clean and comfortable. Phone system didn’t work so to contact front desk you had to actually go to the desk. They weren’t too concerned with that problem. We couldn’t get the Heating and air to work properly. They sent someone up to fix and we were told we just had to turn it off. That’s how you fix it😳They weren’t concerned about that either.

Great property within distance of all the theaters and Time Square. Property could use some work, mostly some cosmetic issues. Be warned the elevators are tiny. Lots of places to eat nearby. Shopping also close in Times Square. Catch a showing a Maybe Happy Ending just across the street at the Belasco.

Not impressed
I suggest you avoid this hotel. Firstly compliments (seriously) to the staff who really helped Johnathan, Carlos, Adrian and Jo Jo were great. However this 4* hotel has no laundry or dry cleaning service. When calling from out of the country front desk don't pick up the phone and despite emailing since the end of November about a possible overcharge on my bill of $235 (possibly) i have not even had the courtesy of a reply of any sort from their email.When I asked how to get to 82nd Street I was told "If you don't know the city get a taxi" .They need a concierge and they need laundry and dry cleaning service - we are travellers and we need our clothes cleaned, and they need to reply to the so far 3 emails i have sent them to ask whether or not they do owe me $235. Not impressed.

Great location and good hotel. Only problem was the PA system is very hard to hear and there was a false emergency alarm going off when I was staying. Couldn't understand what they were saying on the PA. Had to go down to the lobby as if there was an emergency. They need to fix that PA system.

We had a great stay at the Aura Hotel. It was a great location (steps away from Times Square). There was always staff at the front desk. Check in and check out were super easy. The only negative to this hotel room was poor water pressure in the shower, but this was a minor inconvenience and did not impact our stay one bit.

Customer Service was great...very helpful. I was not aware this was a "Boutique" Hotel" which is ok, but was a surprise for the cost. The rooms were supposedly upgraded 5 months ago, but the HVAC was not working. It was very difficult to change the shower water temp. It was stuck on Hot. Had to tilt the cover of the unit and manually set temps, the reading lamps on the bed were broken, the sheets and towels felt like shards of glass, because they were so rough. I felt the Destination Charge was a bit high $45.00 per day for really nothing. This hotel would not be my 2nd - 9th choice. I doubt I will stay here again.
