Hotel Aurora

I stayed here for 3 nights after walking out of my hostel I had originally booked. Hotel Aurora had a lovely room, fan, fridge, coffee maker, hammock, table, and chairs outside my door. Very clean shared kitchen. From the balcony, I saw howler monkeys and even an armadillo, as the property overlooks a park. Good for the budget conscious in low season.

This quaint hotel was the perfect stop for our two day stay. Centrally located to the local shops and restaurants. The staff were very friendly and available for any questions or needs that you may have.

Do not book this hotel/hostel thru a third party (i.e., *******, airbandb, etc.), especially if it’s charged in afvance. I stayed here with my daughter for a booking for 9 DAYS with ******* and only stayed for two days. Asked nicely for some refund and nope, not even for a day. In addition we were put in the wrong “suite” room. I did contact ******* before and after we checked out to no avail. Main issue, thus the title of this review, is that ******* charged me $79.95 per night for a $65 dollar room (the 4 bed suite, 3 queen, 1 twin) so I overpaid by a lot. And according to ******* I was given a member discount of $179.91. This is obviously a fake savings since that would make the room actually cost $99.94 per night! Currently on beginning stages of taking ******* to small claims court for this. I will admit that I should not have booked a non-refundable room, but I expected some sort of consideration, especially from one of the lowest-rated hotels/hostels in the area. Pros: a/c, minifridge in room, communal kitchen, private bathroom and balcony in suite, and at the center of Montezuma. Staff was nice Cons: no hot water, ants in the room and outside in balcony, construction material in the walkways, hard beds with tiny blankets, no TV, poor wi-fi All in all, we were not happy and left early. Montezuma is a cute little town, just stay somewhere else unless you’re really roughing it or for a night.

Very nice
