Aurora Staples Inn earns strong enthusiasm for its beautifully preserved Victorian character, comfortable rooms, and the well-received off-site breakfast voucher arrangement. The fully remote, text-based hosting style divides guests — some appreciate the privacy and prompt responses, while others find the lack of in-person contact impersonal. Recurring practical niggles include inconsistent temperature control, underperforming hot tub jets, and the steep uphill walk from the riverfront.
- Self check-in only with no in-person staff contact felt impersonal to several guests
- Temperature control issues — rooms running too warm, air conditioning inconsistent or insufficient
- Hot tub/bath water not hot enough, jacuzzi jets emit sewer smell on first use
- Steep uphill walk from downtown; not ideal for those expecting easy access on foot
- Minor housekeeping oversights noted (broken curtain clips, dead fly, small bins only)
“It was like staying in a museum! Mad respect for the proprietors for the magnificent job they did using all authentic pieces for this Victorian/Edwardian styled BNB.”
“I felt like I was stepping back in time to stay in a room at Downton Abbey but with all the modern necessities for an easy comfortable stay.”
“We never did meet the proprietors as everything is self check-in. Personally, we found this very impersonal.”
“Breakfast at the Lowell Inn was wonderful — limited menu, but great food and service.”
