Great customer service from the front staff but an absolutely horrible hotel. I stayed here for a wedding that I was going to in Aiken this summer and had a terrible experience here. It was so terrible, I had to switch actual hotels. I was first put into a room that was in the building separate from the actual hotel (I can't think of the name right now). I had two double beds in my room and when I started to unmake one of the beds to sleep in it, there was a clump of hair in the bed. I moved to the other bed and thankfully it had no hair in it. I made the front staff aware of it and they were very apologetic and moved me to a room in the actual hotel. Then when I got to that room, the TV didn't work and AC wouldn't go below 79. I got moved to ANOTHER room (3 rooms total in this one night two day visit) which was slightly better but there were ants in the shower and I could hear the loud music from the bar directly underneath my room. I was absolutely fed up with the hotel that I left at 10PM to go stay at the Hilton Garden Inn. That same day I switched rooms twice, I had an allergic reaction and broke out in hives everywhere on my body. I associated it with the sandpaper-like towels and scratchy sheets in the disgusting room. I would give this a one star rating but the front staff was SO sweet and really apologetic for all of my troubles. They didn't charge me for the nights I had booked and only for the night I had stayed. They are going through a renovation process (thank god) and hopefully in the near future this hotel may actually be stay-able. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend staying ANYWHERE else but this hotel until they renovate it and update the hotel rooms to catch up with the 21st century. I understand it has that "historic" feel, but that doesn't mean it has to be rundown and disgusting. The maids need to do their jobs and give this hotel a thorough deep clean. I'll never stay here ever again and hopefully I'll never be in Aiken again in the first place.

ok. I am giving this lower marks because I was told i look like the devil (sarah palin) nice enough bar, inside is a little smelly (they utilize AC, not window opening....clearly) the outside bar is packed with polo players. very funny.

I am appalled and embarrassed that I recommended the Hotel Aiken to friends of ours from out of town, and I will NEVER do so again. The Willcox, while lovely, was a little rich for their blood. When I told them about the Hotel Aiken - historic property, convenient downtown location, and half the price of the Willcox - they were sold. When we stayed 1.5 years ago and recommended it for our wedding guests, our experience was ok. Not great, but ok. We had personally been in to the hotel 6 weeks before our wedding and the manager gave us a tour of the rooms so that we could pick the perfect one for our wedding night. We put down a cash deposit to ensure they would hold our room. Well, our room was given to someone else and the hotel staff, while apologetic, really did nothing to make up for the mix-up. Fine. I was disappointed, and it was a pain to find a refrigerator for some of the things we'd brought with us (champagne, midnight snacks) since the room they gave us didn't have one - the one we'd reserved DID have one. But, fine. The room was clean even if the furnishings were showing their age, and the bed was comfortable. I was disappointed on my wedding night, but I continued to recommend the Hotel Aiken to friends. NEVER AGAIN! Our friends showed us photos our their room - not at all clean, and roaches on the wall! I had warned them about the noise from the bar and although they requested to be far away from the bar, they were placed on the 2nd floor just above it. When they complained they were offered another room far away from the bar - which they should have gotten in the first place - and not offered a refund for their second night even though they only stayed one night. Truly, the photos were disgusting and if that is the state of this hotel now, there is no way I will send anyone there again. From what I understand when they asked to talk to the manager, she yelled at them and said, "you'll never come back here again so why should I care what you think?" Um, maybe because you are the service provider? It is truly a shame that such a historic property has fallen to this. It could be such a quaint hotel and with their location, they could easily get twice as much for their rooms if they'd just put some money and care into it. Never, ever, ever again, and I will tell anyone who is thinking about staying there to steer clear. The Hilton Garden Inn doesn't have the location, but is a far better hotel for the money.

Not all that impressed with this place Although on slow days it can some times be tolerable. For some reason this has historically been the place most people end up drinking in Aiken. I've never understood this. The service has been historically and habitually slow and terrible. The atmosphere lacks and it's really not even that clean. The outside would be nice if it weren't often overly smoke filled. Noticed the last time I was drug in by friends that they had finally hired a very nice female bartender outside who seemed genuinely interested in accepting my money. She is the first person in a long time that seemed like they knew what they were doing. Have been around for many of the incarnations of the Hotel Aiken's various bars, can't say I've ever been thrilled with any of them. Hope they will rely more on the new bartender we had that night, short of that stick to cheap bottled beer and learn appreciate the less fine things in life.

Quaint, clean hotel that fits in well with nostalgic Aiken. Also very affordable! They give you a free 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!

A.K.A. Holley House. This was my first introduction to nightlife in Aiken, and it is definitely a fun place. Local and regional bands play Friday and Saturday nights inside, but most people tend to hang out in the back near the tiki bar, or just inside the door to laugh at the people playing with the punching machine. Have not seen anything on the big screen outside yet.

good times here for sure. watched NCAA final there during Master weeks and they had a huge giant screen out back with the game on. fantastic for watching big sports games. three different bars areas good for change in scenery and nice bartenders. overall nice place.

I dabbled between a three and four star but ultimately decided it had to be three to be fair. My cousin had a wedding in Aiken and we all stayed here. We tried to use the bars after the reception but it was too crowded, so I can't say too much for the bars. They gave us two free drinks at check-ins, so that's all I can vouch for. When I asked her what she had in red wine, she said Chardonnay, so do with that what you like. There are two main buildings, the older historic building and the just old strip-mall style hotel building. Most everyone stayed in the historic building, but my room was in the strip-mall building. If they spent money on renovations and cleaning mold off of floorboards, this could be a gorgeous, super-fancy, super-expensive hotel. As it were, bathroom doors were missing pieces (as in while I was using the bathroom in my brother's suite, anyone in the room could see) and there were gross tile/popcorn ceilings. They warn you extensively about the noise levels from the bars affecting the rooms until 2am. This appealed to us since we knew we would be causing said noise. We were hanging out in my brother's room in the old historic building. At about 1:30am, management came to warn us that they had received a lot of complaints, but it was okay until 2 - after 2, they had to call the cops on us. (They were super nice about it). But they also let us know that the strip-mall section had no such limitations, so we were able to go over there and hang out. We didn't stop until around 4, and I know we were noisy because my ears were ringing when I went to sleep. House-keeping came by several hours before check-out while we were still sleeping, but it's okay, because house-keeping also found my ID and debit card and turned it in. Rooms were pretty cheap (mine was $77), considering, and parking was free. Didn't make it to breakfast, so I can't say. They ran out of coffee and milk, too.

The tiki bar at the hotel Aiken is great for people watching. The tiki bar is small but next door they have a huge projection TV that they point at a giant brick wall. This is absolutely great if they are showing the game you want to watch. I'm not sure if they do a movie night there but they should. All in all a fun bar with spacious outdoor seating. There is also indoor seating where a live band played and then another indoor room with just a bar. The place is deceivingly large. The crowd spans the decades which adds to the people watching. I saw a college guy, who could barely stand, well he couldn't, he was using the chair for support, try and hit on a woman in her late 40's. She was definitely amused but that's where it stopped. I was amazed at the guy's ability to keep it together.

OK so first thing you need to clarify is whether you're booking a room in the actual historic main building or one of the "courtyard" rooms...which is basically a motel that is a separate building. Hotel staff was very good about forewarning about noise coming from the bar, which wasn't too big of an issue. We had a great time at the bar inside the hotel. I was a little put off by the bar outside though. We got free drink vouchers for being hotel guests (limited to bottled beer, wine, and soft drinks). When we asked the not-very-busy bartender what bottled beer they have, his response was "man...we got so many different types it would take forever to list them all." Umm...thanks.
