Fodor's Review:

In a town dominated by historic properties, the Aurora is refreshingly contemporary, with a hip attitude more reminiscent of Hollywood than Avalon. Standard rooms are small but appointed with mod chocolate and blue furniture and flat-screen TVs, while suites have Jacuzzi tubs or elaborate showers—the spacious Aurora Suite is a great splurge. There are striking ocean views from the rooftop deck. Unwind after a day of hiking or boat with a Mermaid's Kiss massage—a blend of Swedish, Japanese, and Thai techniques—at the spa. A complimentary Continental breakfast is served and the front desk loans out laptops, binoculars, and GPS units to guests. Pros: trendy design; quiet location off main drag yet still close to restaurants. Cons: standard rooms are small, even by Catalina standards.
