Hotel is good for a layover, close to the airport, With free airports shuttle, but the shuttle didn't turn up to pick us up after nearly an hour wait. Rang up the hotel and was told to wait for another hour and a half, we ended up calling an uber to get to the hotel. The airport shuttle the next morning was ok and in in time.

Hotel Aura was a very stylish, clean, compact little hotel. The room & bed were comfortable. They also offer a Park, Sleep, & Fly service, so we were able to leave our car there while we went on our vacation. Our only complaint was that several of the rooms, ours included, were directly facing the lobby or breakfast area & we could hear the noise from those public spaces while we were trying to sleep.
