    Hilton- don't place patrons in an area being renovated. Especially diamond members. The rooms weren't even renovated and honestly dirty, dusty and three bugs found. Positive- the beds comfortable. Outside the room, paint vapors which we were warned about right after checking in were strong in hall 2/3 employees very understanding of complaints and helpful in finding somewhat of a solution. So Thumbs up for Sherry and Laqueshia at front desk. The foyer is beautiful with great fall decor but let's focus on the rooms!

    Not a bad hotel, currently under construction right now, so hopefully everything will be quiet and 100% soon! Comfy clean rooms with only a minor issue related to seal on the bathroom shower door. Will stay again.

    Scum and dirt in tub.

    Hilton is on a Super 8 Motel downslide and slipping fast. This Hilton Garden Inn Aiken is consistently one of the dirtiest hotels I've ever stayed in. Why do we come back you ask? My husband is a Diamond member so he gets perks. He is often here on business. A lot of his bookings are on points because of his status. Here are the perks I see. 1st Stay 1st Perk: When we stayed here a couple of months ago the tub was nasty enough that we had to have housekeeping re-clean it. They had to get permission because they don't clean anymore until checkout time. 2nd Perk: A male housekeeping attendant walked into my room without knocking, without acknowledging that he was housekeeping. I'm standing there naked... Still have ptsd from that incident. They made all kinds of excuses for him, however he was clearly acknowledging himself as he visited other rooms not 5 minutes before he opened my door. 3rd Perk: The housekeeping crew didn't bother to check the fridge. Found a previous guest's water chilling in the fridge. 4th Perk: Strands of other guest's hair in the towels standing long and clear enough for Stevie Wonder to see it. How did they not? 2nd Stay 1st Perk: I always clean/disinfect the common areas. Found tons of filthy areas in just a few swipes. 2nd Perk: Again the tub was filthy. Soap scum and what looks to be pubic hair stuck to the tub. And we just got here soooo.... 3rd Perk: I pulled back the comforter and found dirty sheets. Pic included. I can't make this up. This is horrible. 4th Perk: Absolutely filthy phones. Crud in every corner. I'm thinking they are thinking, if we leave the phones untouchable and nasty, they won't cal us for anything. Pic included. Tired of these perks. Just clean the dang rooms. I'm giving one star but truth be told, they owe us about three. They told us they would bring sheets us abs we can change them ourselves.

    Bites after I checked out of the hotel.

    Great hotel. Was crowded with a group of equestrian event people. No noise whatsoever. Friendly employees. Great location!

    VERY disappointed in afternoon tea at The Willcox Inn in Aiken, SC. Why? Because I didn't have it!…read more I was extremely disappointed in restaurant management when I was told today that afternoon tea was only served after 3pm. I had booked online reservations 7 days in advance, clicking on the 'Book A Table' button on the Afternoon tea link on the Willcox Inn website which took me to Resy Open Table page. The times showing supposedly for afternoon tea was 12, 12:30 and 12:45, so I chose 12:45 and typed in the note box specifying that this is for Afternoon Tea. It gave me the reservation time and sent an email confirming. I then CALLED Willcox Inn to confirm the date, time, number in party for AFTERNOON TEA, telling the lady who took my call that I was calling to confirm afternoon tea time for 4. The lady confirmed she had me down and repeated the details. So two sources confirmed an afternoon tea request, online and human. When I arrived at the dining room of the Willcox today at 12:05pm, early, I was told they only serve tea after 3pm. I was very upset, especially when it was the restaurant's fault for NOT specifying on the afternoon tea page that tea was only available after 3pm. We were told there was nothing they could do and they apologized. My friends and I had traveled from Evans, GA, forty-five minutes away to be told 'sorry, no tea', after I had confirmation from two sources. To make matters worse, we were told there were no tea foods, no scones, no tea sandwiches that could be served to us at 12:30 when everything would be available a few hours later at 3pm. The chef even came to our table to coldly state she could not prepare any scones as she had to feed other diners. The very least a manager could have offered to guests who had traveled distance and were denied what they were given confirmation for, was to comp a meal, and provide an explanation of errors on their website. I will never return to this establishment because they simply do not care about their customers. With today's use of social media, everyone is a reviewer. And this restaurant failed in providing good customer service, and failed in attempting to correct inaccuracies due to their negligence in advertising correct times for afternoon tea. Anyone who booked afternoon tea through this page should have their reservations honored, despite the restaurant's negligence. I do not recommend this restaurant.

    We chose this hotel to get away from the chain hotels, and try something more southern-charm-y…read more Looked great online, we were definitely excited, and looked forward to something more bougie, as we were in town for a wedding. The staff member (woman) who greeted us showed none of the southern charm we hear so much about. We felt like we were a burden during check-in. We saw her one other time, and she didn't ask how things were going, and walked away from the desk when we walked toward her w a question. She was not present when we checked out. Aside from the blasting AC--joy to our northern ears--we were really disappointed with our room (the one at the top of the stairs in the main building) and generally underwhelmed w the hotel experience. Upon closer inspection you see that the hotel is shabby and in need of some attention. The issues w our room included: the dresser drawers having improperly long bolts/screws which snagged clothes multiple times, nearly ripping items. The room didn't look clean; stained carpet, as well as areas of carpet w water damage, as the AC unit dripped nonstop. It's safe to assume the staff is aware of the problem, as there is noticeable staining on the wall under the drip. All of this extra moisture left the carpet soggy under the AC vent, and the room smelling musty. There were stains from, god only knows what, over our bed. And the cherry on the cake was the cockroach we saw running around our bathroom on our last night. We've stayed in loads of hotels in the south and have yet to have had that happen. The one saving grace was the kind cook. Suffice to say we won't be going back.

When I did talk to someone in reservations, they were rude arrogant, and wouldn't let me talk and hung up on me. Our confirmation email indicated that we had a refund. The woman robot I talked to in canceling reservations said we had a nonrefundable rate. Not tru, we did in our email confirmation. She also disconnected me. This is a terrible way to run a business and I will never go back and never recommend it to anyone.

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.
