Good location and walked to the brewery.
The facility is 'tired' and needs updating. The bathroom fan was super loud, and had to keep the door closed with a moldy smell. Manager was super friendly and nice location.

Questions about Aurora Bayside Inn

What time is check-in and check-out at Aurora Bayside Inn?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Aurora Bayside Inn allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Aurora Bayside Inn?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Aurora Bayside Inn have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Aurora Bayside Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Aurora Bayside Inn?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
