The Slick Willie Sutton Room @ The Bank

I am currently on a work assignment in the East Aurora area for the next several months. I found The Bank while doing a search online for a place to stay. I checked out their website, I thought what unique concept turning a Bank into hotel. Each room is named after famous gangsters instead of having a room number. I just finished staying a week at The Bank, I go home for weekend in Pittsburgh. I will be following this work schedule for the next two months. If you are wondering will I be returning to The Bank, the answer is absolutely without a doubt, “Yes”. I just reserved the next several weeks. The Bank’s website describes the rooms perfectly, additionally it located within blocks of some great places to eat.

Our stay in the Slick Willie Sutton room at The Bank of EA was wonderful! From the off-season pricing, to very good communication before and during our stay, to meeting Sofia the event coordinator (unplanned bonus) as we arrived, to our spotless room and bathroom, and the cozy Speakeasy vibe of a common area..... we felt right at home. The location of The Bank was key to an enjoyable stay in East Aurora for us. The sights we wanted to see were within easy driving distance. We were also able to walk the downtown area, take in a movie, and end our evening at Rick's on Main for a "White Christmas" cocktail. If you are a needy traveler, this might not be the best accomodation for you as there are no staff on-site. That said, everything we needed had been provided to and for us prior to arrival.

What a great concept! Captivating and unique decor, with all the normal hotel comforts you would expect, but in a one-of-a-kind environment. Wonderful ambiance. Location in the heart of downtown East Aurora is a big plus. We will definitely return. Plenty of other bank robbers' rooms to try out! :-)

If you are visiting East Aurora, this is where you need to stay. It is within walking distance to multiple dining and drinking establishments, plus it is close to other attractions in or near East Aurora. Check-in is extremely easy, the rooms are clean and tidy (and unique)! Definitely plan to book another stay in the future.
