Most guest rooms in this 1833 Federal-style brick building have balconies with lake views and rockers; some rooms have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. The amenities are posh: flat-screen TVs, Bose CD players, high-speed Internet access, Frette linens, terry robes, and marble bathrooms. Floral wallpapers are part of the retro charm. Antiques, paintings, and Oriental rugs outfit the common rooms downstairs. The restaurant ($$-$$$) is well appointed but not overdone—in keeping with Aurora's style. The food is mostly American. Dinner could be pot roast, pan-seared scallops, or rack of lamb.
