Pool was covered up, and not able to use. Bed spring was broken on one side and very uncomfortable. There was no spa tub in our king bedroom as described when room was booked. Workout room was full of trash and debris and unable to use at all. Breakfast was awful. No milk. No juice. There was a waffle maker, but no batter. Staff was very friendly, room was clean, good hot water.

I picked this hotel because Expedia said there was a pool and hot tub. There was no hot tub and the pool was covered.

I am a writer and professor and expected access to a computer and printer as advertised. There was not access and the computer was out of service. Front desk hoped I understood. No I dont, and I think an adjustment should be made on my bill for lack of service in this regard. no on premises computer or word processing, very bad!!!

We went for hot tub therapy for my son. We didn't realize that rhe hot tub on site meant in particular rooms. There was a small hibachi in the gazebo where lights didnt engage till fully dark, so there wasn't much light to barbeque by in the evening. Breakfast buffet had limited selection, but was good.

This is a no frills motel, however I've stayed several times at this motel during business trips to Aiken. I love the location relatively close to downtown, with a few good restaurents within walking distance. It appears that the owners are slowly doing work to improve the property, which had previously looked a bit rundown. The service is good and there is a hot free breakfast everyday, so is ideal for busy workers getting on with their day. My main problem is the Wifi is terrible and on the last 2 visits, the fitness room is closed up for no apparent reason. Fix these 2 things and you'll improve it tremendously

the price point was OK If the bathroom was clean and updated a real toilet seat would have been nice. none of the towels were clean even the ones we requested, the tub was poor, and the shower head was discussing there was animal hair everywhere. the bed frames were broken and more animal hair. the front door meets the frame so we did not know if critters would come in. the microwave needed to be replaced it was old and discussting.

Overall the room was okay. Had what you would expect from an exterior-entry motel. The bathroom was by far the lowest ranking of the room. Towels were thin and worn. The shower walls had an excessive amount of caulking along the edges and within the panels. The back panel was heavily screwed to the wall with the screws visible. Bedding was okay - not fresh but comfortable. Heat/air managed temp fine. Nothing stood out one way or another. Fridge and microwave worked though latter was well aged.

This hotel is basically you get what you pay for. The first room I was assigned smelled like wet dog and the most disgusting smell ever so then I was moved to another room. It smelled slightly better but wasn't wonderful. The bathroom light had a short in it and flickered so I had to shower by my phone light. The electrical sockets were loose so anything I plugged in pulled right out. The only positive is the bed was comfortable and the front desk staff were nice.

This hotel desperately needs to be updated. The wallpaper, paint, carpet, etc. are visibly worn. The sheets were clean, and shower water was hot. This is a hotel with outside access rooms which is a little concerning. You can see the outside through the seal in the door and tenants outside can be easily heard. Will not stay here again.

I did request to change rooms twice but each time was for a different problem. The front desk person I dealt with was argumentative and actually angry. I said that my reservation could be canceled if it was a problem and she told me that was not possible. I ended in a room where the tv was inoperable for an hour while I waited on maintenance. “She’s from NY, that’s how she is”. Not hospitable.

They keep screwing up my finances and double billing me.. So far I've spent over $300 in overdraft fees. Because I keep taking money out and putting it back in. Not the way I would run my business. And I will never stay here again because of the non stop inconvenience of their nonsense. The staff is wonderful but somebody keeps messing up stuff that cost me money.

I thought this was a safe area, and for the most part, right now at this point in time, I think that it probably is relatively safe. But when I went to check into my room, a single female, I was very uncomfortable, walking to my room as there were some folks lingering in the parking lot that seemed a bit sketchy. I went back to the front desk and asked for another room. I was relocated on the other side of the building on the second floor. Felt much more secure. It’s sad to see Aiken kind of falling in stature with more and more or less desirable folks hanging around

Everything was alright with the exception of requiring guest to pay a $50 fee in case. Also the Breakfast has a sign that states No food can be removed from the area. If it is included what does it matter if you take it back to your room or to go?

The biggest problem I had was as follows: I was in a non-smoking room. However, I smelled cigarette smoke all night long. I at first thought it was my imagination until I asked my wife if she smelled the same. She did. Staff was very nice, no problem with them. Stairs were very slippery, rubber mats fixed to the stairs would be helpful. Bed and TV were OK, except that they use DIRECT TV which is difficult to find channels. I hate DIRECT TV. Would not stay here again unless there was no other option. Breakfast was good, no problems. Took me a while to adjust the hot/cold shower. A millimeter between scalding hot water and ice cold water. Finally got it after trying for several minutes.
