Absolutely fabulous place! Very welcoming ! clean well appointed and friendly! The only downside was no microwave however I have a feeling had we asked we could have received one?! Nice sitting areas and fresh cooked eggs to order in the morning! The owner Ann was a joy to meet and Alice (praying I have the right) was amazing upon check in and Andrea in the morning cooked our eggs absolutely perfect! We stayed here for our anniversary and hope to return again and again! You will not be disappointed! Love this place!

UPGRADED room - $195/night - The Carriage House Inn - AIken, SC May 7, 2022 Go to the Willcox - you'll be happier/safer!

I booked a room in the "main" house/part of Aikens's The Carriage House Inn, 2 months prior to my stay. 2 days before, I realized work would prevent me from arriving on Friday, as I had planned, so I called AND send an email (please see below), requesting my room be saved. The person who checked me in was also the person who responded to my email, and the recipient of my phone call. Upon arrival, there was some confusion about my room, but eventually my key was given to me, and I proceeded to my room. Imagine my shock/surprise/fear/embarrassment when I opened my door to find a man (who was not an employee) on the other side of the door - IN MY ROOM TO WHICH I HAD JUST BEEN GIVEN A SET OF KEYS! It turns out - we happened to have the same last name; 2 completely different reservations (no relation) and when I checked in, they decided to put me in the same room as this man!!! Fortunately, this happened at 4PM on a Saturday afternoon in the Spring - so there were people around, plenty of daylight, etc. It could have been a very different scenario had I arrived, let's say, at 9PM...or, what if I was the 1st one to check in, and they'd given this man (with the same last name as mine) keys to MY room, w/o me knowing it? I went back downstairs, explained the situation, and was told there were no more rooms in the "nice" part of the hotel, so I was given a room in the 3rd building back (pictures below.) The room was dated, and the "jacuzzi shower" looked like something from the 1970's "honeymoon in the Poconos" I was told I was given an upgraded room...you'll see the photo below...you, too, can enjoy this luxurious stay for $195/night... My room faced a street across from what is apparently a dog park, and while I love dogs, I do not appreciate being awakened by them at 5AM, right outside my window. My room had an odor to it...not sure if it was mold, a dirty A/C vent...the washcloths were dirty and thread-bare (see photos) I emailed and wrote a letter, requesting management review my stay and "make it right", i.e., considering the inconvenience I incurred (including the shock of walking in on a strange man) and this is the response I received... From:carriagehouse@gmail.com Sent: Monday, May 16, 2022 3:26 PM Subject: Carriage House Inn Hello , I apologize for the late response but Anne Thomasson (owner) was out of town for the past week and I wanted to speak with her regarding this matter. I would also like to apologize for the front desk error regarding your room and Mr. Lewis's room. This is not a common error, thank goodness, but unfortunately mistakes do happen. We try to place our guests in the room/building/bed type of their choice but this is not always possible or guaranteed (which seems to be the case for most hotels). Our front desk associate did try to accommodate you by upgrading your room to a king bed and jacuzzi- free of charge- ($169 per night instead of $195). Your invoice reflects a charge of $169 a night for two nights, not one. The first night charge was due to a cancellation that was not in the 48 hour window. We are a very small hotel and when we lose a room due to a last minute cancellation, it affects our costs and expenses when the room is not sold. I understand that you were disappointed not staying in the main inn but we could not ask Mr. Lewis to move once he was checked into that room. Unfortunately, we had an almost full house and we were not able to honor your request for the main inn but we feel that an upgraded room was an acceptable solution. I hope that this explanation helps you to understand that the situation was a mistake which we tried to amend with an upgraded room. We want all of our guests to enjoy their stay and leave on a happy note and we are sorry that you were discontented. Hopefully, you will visit in the future and we can upgrade you to a suite in the main house. I hope you have a great day! Thank you! Manager Carriage House Inn So - all of that for almost $400.00! My advice - stay anywhere BUT The Carriage House Inn...it's not safe, and they don't seem to care!

Something has come up at work, so now I will not be arriving until Saturday, probably between 12-3PM. I realize it's too late to get a refund for Friday PM....so I'll just look at it as a very late check-in! Thank you again!

Jacuzzi tub and shower

What a lovely place to stay. It is just beautiful. The owner greeted me andbrought me to my room and showed me the amenities. ( the airconditioner is really quiet) I'm in the new building that is so southern and super quiet. I love the decor. Parking is safe. My room is beautiful with white bedding, unique furniture and a big jacuzzi tub and shower The grounds are beautiful and pristine Lovely breakfast rooms. Nice personal service Dogs are welcome , nice in a horse town This is private yet so comfortable One more thing. I have to find out what mattress they use. It is super comfortable If I could give it more stars I would They do try to be green and have u decide if you want everyday linens changed or at your preference. No feeling of scrimping just caring Owner is very willing do make you stay special Lovely breakfast in a southern manor feeling room. Lots of pastry choices, Good coffee, hot meal cooked to order and served to you on white tablecloths with fresh flowers

My husband and I stayed here for a night and absolutely loved it. Very clean and the beds were super comfortable. The rooms were nice and the property was so beautiful. I hope we find ourselves visiting Aiken again so we can go back. Perfect walking distance to restaurants and bars too!

I stayed here for three nights just recently. Absolutely lovely property, very comfortable rooms, Quiet and private. Every morning was a breakfast cooked to order, and the staff that I encountered was superior, very accommodating. I highly recommend this if you were in the Aiken area as I know I'm going to stay again and again!

Quaint, clean hotel that fits in well with nostalgic Aiken. Also very affordable! They give you a…read morefree drink coupon when you check in and they have a decent continental breakfast in the morning complete with biscuits and gravy. The noise prevents me from giving them a 5th star. They are very upfront about the fact that the bar has live music when you check in. Light sleepers be warned!

If you like character over franchise, can deal with a little shabbiness, like to chat with staff…read moreand wouldn't mind running into a Hemingway/Pat Conroy type character in an old southern town's bar - this is your spot. Stay in the main building. If you room faces the street, you will not hear the bar. The elevator is an antique and must have the reception come run it for you. The stairs make you feel you are in a fabulous time warp. Also the 12' ceilings, giant windows, and excellent period architectural details. It also really looks the part for the ghost rumor we heard. Downstairs with lobby entrances are a bar and an Indian restaurant. The exit out back through a very New Orleanian crumbly terrace was packed with people from 6pm on. You can walk all over from here but must like shabby chic and Southern friendliness. Our AC worked fine, room was old and clean, plenty of towels, toiletries and breakfast. It reminded us of shabby fabulous places in NYC and New Orleans. And, a surprising bargain (2bed room + breakfast + downtown parking= $78.) for the center of town.
