Very close. Aurora is located about a three to five minute walk from Avalon’s restaurants and shops. Please be aware that we are located up a short, but steep, hill. Most of our guests enjoy the walk, but if you think it may be a challenge, taxi service is available.

Nope. By popular request, Aurora is completely non-smoking, including our rooms and the rooftop deck. Our ban on smoking includes vaping and e-cigarettes.

We do, but please call the hotel directly at 310-510-0454 to book same-day reservations.

All of our rooms are cleaned thoroughly at check out, but housekeeping during your stay is by request.

Aurora is about 100 yards from the beach. There’s also a hill. It’s a short hill, but it’s steep.

You will need to present a valid driver’s license or identification card as well as a valid credit card for incidentals. Unless arrangements have been made in advance, you will also need to present the credit card used to make the reservation. If you have any questions, please call the hotel directly.

The Aurora Hotel does not have an elevator. Stairs are available to access all rooms and features. Features are available for hearing and visually impaired guests.

Most of our guests choose to walk the short distance to Avalon’s many attractions. If you choose, private taxi service is also available.

No, we can’t and neither can the golf cart rental companies. There are two rental companies and they rent golf carts by the hour.

Aurora is about five blocks from the boat terminal. Just walk along the waterfront to Marilla Avenue and we are about 80 yards up the hill. If you choose, taxis are available at the boat terminal for a small fee.

Other than the Aurora suite and our two junior suites, each of Aurora’s rooms has only one bed. This is not the kind of place where you want to say you only have two people in the room and then show up with extras – even if the extras are kids.

Sure. My roof is your roof. But since we’re also sharing the roof with a bunch of other guests, please be courteous and tidy up after yourself.
