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.

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.
Lovely, very convenient to downtown Aiken and easy parking. Was able to walk to my downtown meeting. My room was in the main building - charming and well-appointed. Great experience from check-in to check-out. Very impressive breakfast buffet! Thanks for a short but great stay!
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!

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.
My only complaint: I thought breakfast was misleading. I anticipated a home cooked southern repast. Instead it was on menu as continental: fine, but pre packaged stuff (Little Debbie muffins, toaster waffles, pre-made croissant egg and sausage for microwave. ) . Perfectly adequate! But same as Holiday Inn. I'm no foodie but I'd anticipated a Southern grits and egg bfast. Lovely place though!
Those 2 women running the front desk - priceless! I wish every business owner could have loyal, trustworthy and hardworking people like them! You can not put a price tag on those qualities! Great place!
we miss the southern breakfasts.
The internet service is very weak and kept dropping our phones in our room. The internet needs a booster for the second floor.
