We had a great stay and had no problem upgrading our room when we arrived. The room was beautifully decorated and very clean. We had safe overnight parking in front of the inn. The staff was very friendly and I would stay again next time we visit Aiken.

Pros:

Wonderful location....beautful accommodations and the grounds very nicely kept up. Our only dissatisfaction was minor and that was with the breakfasts.
First, Andrea was wonderful cooking eggs to order and providing all requests but the rest reminded us of the Hotel free breakfast including the plastic coffee cups; especially the weekend buffet. In the beautiful setting that is the main house, coffee mugs would have more character in keeping for the building. Understand that costs have risen for providing that breakfast, though.

So Charming
Pros:

This is our second time staying when my daughter shows at Bruce’s Field. Love the proximity to the barn, and the downtown location is very walkable to shops and restaurants. The best part about the Carriage House is the service; the staff truly treats their customers like family. Nice complimentary breakfast every morning, and amazing afternoon cookies! Thank you for a great stay!

Pros:

Hotel was almost empty so would have been nice to have a king size bed. Breakfast was not great. Everything looked a little worn out. Ac was great. We were able to check in an hour early so that was nice. Seemed a little pricey.

Pros:

Arrived w/ very positive expectations and initial check-in was as friendly as we could hope. Unfortunately that would turn out to be the highlight of the stay. As part of the check in parking options were explained. What wasn’t mentioned was the very sticky sap residue from the trees adjacent to the property parking area. Good news - w/ some focused cleaning the sap came off but glad I didn’t wait for it to get baked on in the heat (94 deg). But that was only one of multiple morning surprises. Was greeted by a near 2 inch cockroach / ‘palmetto bug’ in the bathroom in early morning. I know it’s S.C. but boutique hotels typically ensure that doesn’t happen. Mattress was very soft and the light on one bed stand rivaled the leaning tower of Pisa. All aspects characteristic of older, second tier hotels - not an elite B&B / hotel. Finally the included breakfast, while well intentioned, was very underwhelming. Arrived at 9 Sun AM - yet the muffins were gone, hashed browns down to the last few and no ketchup (for eggs). I asked about ketchup and was graciously but surprisingly told - no sir were completely out”. Didn’t try the coffee but the orange juice was mediocre. Ultimately the experience in whole was well below par from what was expected and I feel advertised. I doubt seriously we would choose to stay again when visiting family.

Another tired old hotel expecting a premium price for what? The small TV? The lousy breakfast? The crappy AC? The soft bed? The unusable shower? Don’t!

Pros:

The CUTEST inn. Very authentic for what it advises. Staff is friendly and welcoming. My room was clean, aesthetically pleasing, and felt like I was literally at my parents house (homey). Also the price was extremely fair. The only down side was there is no fridge! Having it be my first time in Aiken and being a foodie I couldn’t take leftovers but it’s not the end of the world. Will definitely stay again upon my next trip down.
