My stay at Aurora Inn was generally very good, though I was a bit disappointed by the lack of breakfast options this time. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, which made up for some of the minor issues. I appreciated the quirky charm of the coffee maker and TV, but a little guidance on their use would have been helpful.

I had a decent stay at the Aurora Inn. The room was clean and quiet, which I appreciated, but there were a few drawbacks. The strict policy of having to take off my shoes upon entering was quite frustrating, especially when I needed to grab something from my room. Additionally, there wasn't any breakfast service during my stay, which I wish I had known beforehand. Overall, it had its perks, but some inconveniences kept it from being a top experience. 😕
