The Aurora Inn Hotel and Event Center

Decent... But, even after my Lysol wiping of the room, I spilled something I wiped up with a towel and it was grimy. I'd add photos if could.

Very nice property…only downside was there was no elevator (one of our party could have used one). Very good customer service!!!

Musty smell in lower level room. They could not offer another room as they were booked up and according to the front desk many of the rooms smelled damp

Cute but PLEASE get rid of the air fresheners! The hotel was cute and had a European country manor vibe. Meticulously decorated, classy decor. We were there twice within a few days. My only complaint about the first room was that the showerhead was uncomfortably low (I'm a 5ft 6in woman). It made showering annoying. The second room was nice but it had a lot of wear and tear which gave it a slightly rundown feel. We did not use the pool, but I can say that it definitely does not look like the photo. It doubles as a local swim club which made the pool area look a little like the YMCA. I have two big reasons for my average review. The restaurant, while cute, had sub-standard food. It was overcooked, boring, and not tasty. Not sure how they can serve a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing but use ranch instead. It shows a lack of sophistication that we expected from the appearance of the venue. The service was good. My second complaint is that the hotel had an overwhelming scent of air freshener (like Glade plugin). I travel a lot and know that hotels have signature scents. However, this was way strong, cheap, and distracting. Even our room had one of those air fresheners. I had to put it in a drawer. The hotel is inaccessible to people with smell sensitivities. It's a shame because it really is a cute hotel. I wouldn't stay again simply because of this. I will say that Dayton at the front desk was lovely. The service, on the whole, was excellent. Just improve the food and get rid of that horrible, permeating scent.

Pros: good shower, good bed, clean. Some of the dining areas had charm. Cons: Smells strongly of mold in the hallways and rooms. Peeling paint on the bathroom ceilings probably explains the mold smell. Bathroom door (a "barndoor") did not close properly and made a loud screech. The only place to sit in our "deluxe" room was an armchair that faced the bathroom. Cheap, thin blanket.
