During my recent stay at Aura Inn, I found the accommodations to be clean and modern. The King Room Non-Smoking included essential amenities such as a microwave and fridge, which greatly facilitated my work. The location was exceptionally convenient, with easy access to nearby shopping and dining options, making it an ideal choice for business travelers.

Limited breakfast options could be improved.

Family with children comfort

The two-bedroom King suite was quite modern and spacious, the beds were comfortable. We had a strong single the night before, only barely visible to our computers and phones that morning.

It was pricey but still tolerable.

musty odor

lacking service

The hotel delivered a decent experience overall, with a clean and comfortable room. However, the front desk interaction was a bit lacking, and the musty odor in the room was off-putting at first. Conveniently located near shopping and restaurants, it's a solid choice for a brief visit.

great experience but minor bathroom issue

The queen room we booked was spacious and clean, providing a cozy atmosphere for our family. The staff were genuinely attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome throughout our stay.

The bathroom could have used better ventilation to prevent it from getting stuffy.

low water pressure

I stayed at Aura Inn for a couple of nights. The location near the Del Monte Shopping Center made shopping easy. The room was clean and had modern features like a refrigerator and microwave. The bed felt comfy, and I appreciated the free parking. However, I had a frustrating experience with the air conditioning. It was too noisy at night, making it hard to sleep. Plus, the bathroom needs better water pressure. I enjoyed having the Whole Foods market close by for snacks. Overall, it served my basic needs, but improvements in comfort would make it much better.

It was an excellent fit for a date night in Monterey, really great for the money. The kitchenette area had a larger mini fridge, which was super handy. Make sure to enjoy the local eateries nearby!
