We had a great experience at the Aurora Hotel! The room was clean and comfortable, and the rooftop lounge area was very well-kept with a great view of the town and bay. The best part however, was the staff! The staff was super friendly, well-informed, and very easy to talk to. They put on wonderful welcome wine and cheese tastings and breakfasts for the weekend. We had fun conversations and had all our questions answered! Thank you to everyone at the Aurora Hotel for an amazing and memorable weekend!

We enjoyed our stay at the Aurora on Catalina Island! The staff was attentive, helpful and accommodating. The room was clean. The bathroom was good. One issue we had was the WiFi. It was spotty and off/on. The other issue was the hill to get to the hotel. It was a steep incline. Lol But once you’ve reached the hotel, you’ll be welcomed with some cold water to help you from the climb. Lol Nonetheless, I would stay here again. The roof top view makes up the issues we had. 😊

Breakfast was spotty but the service was great, unobtrusive. Location was a bit of a hike to the hill but quietly away from the esplanade. Nice patio on the third floor to take in the view.
