Picture shows a breakfast bar, which is why we booked this place. That's closed down. The pool was green. The room was clean enough, but the mattress and bedframe were extremely cheap feeling. I get this was a cheaper option for the area, and even so expected much better. Further, it seemed like section 8 housing with lots of noise overnight.

Every year I run a 5k in Aiken. Was looking for something a little cheaper. The room was I checked in had Roaches come out the bottom of the microwave!! I was mad!! The hotel needed to be torn down and remodeled. The pool is nasty. Pretty much everything around that hotel needs work. Not recommended to stay there. Next year I won’t be back to that hotel.

This has to be the dirtiest hotel I've ever stayed at in my 65 years. I was in town for a big pool tournament and chose this hotel for it's location and price. The lobby was never opened for coffee, breakfast snacks or anything else. I had to pick up a dirty phone at the night time check in window covered by thick bullet proof glass to get an attendant to rekey my room key card for the second day/night. This was at 5pm.

Outside had plenty of parking but the sidewalks to the rooms were filthy with sticky dried up liquids you had to manuever around. Tweekers were loitering, talking to themselves and tried to talk to me and ask me for things when i walked past them quicky to access the ice machine.

The room was big but very old and dirty. After walking on the carpet bare foot and getting into the shower, streams of dirt washed off the bottoms of my feet. I tried to use towels to walk on. Speaking of towels, I used one but when I saw a speck of dirt or leaf on the other, I opened it on the rack to see scattered dirt on it. The microwave had rust throughout and looked unusable. The toilet had a big yellow shim half wedged by the big rusted bolts but still was very wobbly. There were a bunch of little flying insects in the tub/shower area I had to battle with a wet towel before I could use the shower. Brushing my teeth, I noticed thick clumps of dust/dirt in the corner and the reflection of the sink through the mirror showed a dirty 1inch gap between the counter and the sink.

My room was not cleaned prior to my stay. The floors were dirty. The floor between the beds had some visible dirtiness from not being mopped. When I went to use the bathroom the front of the toilet had a visible brown smear down the front of it. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt so I got soap and a rag and wiped the area. It came clean and I freaked out. I immediately packed my room and went to report it to front desk. I took pictures and showed the staff. I returned the room key for a two night stay and I was only there two hours approximately. They refused to refund. I said I need the owner. He still hasn’t contacted me. My fiancé just had surgery in June and has one at the end of this month. We don’t need a health risk like a place that doesn’t even do a basic room clean prior to a customers stay.

The property itself was good for the price. Location is okay, but the environment is very scary with the people living in that property. The man owner was looking for confrontation when I asked for the remaining 2 nights, but I guess it was the wife came and settle the situation by issued me a refund the remaining 2 nights. That classified her in the professional leadership role.

Bad customer service

I’m a bus driver and just needed somewhere to sleep for a few hours so when I knew I was an hour away, I pulled over and booked the hotel online then when I got there, the guy at the front desk really gave me a hard time checking in, saying I couldn’t check in because it was 6am and check in wasn’t until 3pm even though my booking was for the day before and then he said I couldn’t check in because check out was 11am and I said I knew and understand but I had just made the booking an hour earlier then eventually he gave me a room key and originally was gonna ask for a late check out just by an extra hour but after all that trouble, I just took my 4 hours of sleep. I also got up 30 minutes early to dip my feet in the pool and still have time to shower before leaving but the pool was closed until who knows when, I left at 11 and it was still closed so don’t expect to swim before noon atleast. Other than that the room was good, especially for the price. No complaints about the room itself just about the customer service.

We booked our room for four guests. There were two towels in the room. When we requested more towels, we were told that they did not have access to them until housekeeping arrived at 9AM. When 9 came, we went for more towels and housekeeping had still not arrived. The room was infested with stink bugs. When we called the front desk, we were told that it was breeding season and that they would likely be in the other rooms. There was no cancellation available for our room.

Shocking!!!

My husband and I could not believe what we saw when we got to the room. It looked like someone swept up trash and just left it at the door. Once inside...it was filthy and musty...dirty sheets ....urine stains on toilet seat. Burn marks were all over the place like the carpet and sofa. We went back to the office and explained it all. The man apologized and said he would go look at it. No way could we stay there afterwards. My husband and I went there to have a special evening and still have a hard time getting that image out of our minds.Even the TV was still on like someone had just left there right before we arrived. It was an even worse experience considering we cant even get a refund.

This was the first and last time I will stay at this hotel. When I first arrived it appeared to be a very nice place. I then got to the room where things started to change for the worse. I pulled the bed away from the wall a little so I could plug a charger in and I found that the bed had not been moved from the wall in sometime because there was all kinds dirt and things that had dropped back there that housekeeping either does not check or care about. I specifically chose this facility because of the amenities in the room one being a coffee maker. How do you have a coffee maker and not have coffee, coffee cups or anything else for it for guests to use? The next morning as I was preparing to leave and check out I found some kind of bug crawling around in the bathroom. I will say on a good note that the night I checked in the staff working were very friendly.

Well I didn’t expect much from this place being that it was only 60 bucks after taxes. Unfortunately it was a little sub par for my taste. The room was a little gross, the paint didn’t match and I didn’t even have toilet paper in my room. The employees were fine but the room was not great. You’re getting what you pay for but at the end of the day if the bedding isn’t spotless, that’s the deal breaker. I really didn’t want to get get under the covers to be honest. Other than that just expect to get what you pay for. Next time I’ll spend the extra 20 bucks to have a cleaner room.

It was a disgusting dump. Baseboard molding hanging down. The A/C blew warm on high. Half patched water stain on the ceiling. A wall to wall crack on the ceiling. The room phone didn’t work. I asked for a non smoking room, but got a room that smelled like a chain smoking bar room. The pool was so bad, you couldn’t see 2 feet below the surface. The free breakfast was the standard waffle machine, stale doughnuts and frozen Jimmy Dean sandwiches that had to be microwaved.

Fairly nice hotel near the solar eclipse.

It was okay. The cleaning lady was beyond excellent! However, the day help (registration staff) cleared off breakfast trays by placing them on the counter in the lobby restroom. ??? Also, lobby restroom counter needed cleaning badly, and only one light bulb out of six in the lobby restroom was working. One roach in our hotel room bathroom.
