One thing separates this Motel from many others on Colfax, however I imagine there are other establishments that may offer a similar service to this unique aspect that I'm about to mention: with the help of a local nonprofit organization known as It Takes a Village, this Motel is involved in community support and Outreach that has allowed me to stay here at a considerably reduced-cost. My case is particular so, I'm not certain if the nonprofit services are applicable to everyone, however it's worth mentioning what lifesavers they have been. This review serves as a special thank you to the program mentioned above and a special thank you to the property owners here at the Aurora Motel for participating in being a pillar of support to the community and to me. The motel offers modest rates and well-maintained rooms that are secure and comfortable. The area is looking a lot better in recent years and continues to flourish as Government Aid and public knowledge is prioritized for people in the lower class and transient demographic. Areas like this are culturally vibrant and have a strong police presence which gives the City a lively and relatively safe atmosphere. However, remain cautious and look out for each other, one can never be too vigilant in the pursuit of safety. The owner of this establishment is very accommodating, bilingual and particularly skilled at delivering polite-professionalism while effectively communicating updates and changes to guests as necessary. They seem very experienced and hold their own in the community of small business owners and have a firm reputation for upholding and uplifting others. Thank you Margherita and family. God bless!
