What guests think

Across reviews, Carriage House Inn earns strong praise for its welcoming staff, walkable downtown location, and charming historic atmosphere, with many guests highlighting comfortable beds, quiet rooms, and an overall relaxing stay.

Parking is generally easy, and outdoor seating and garden areas are appreciated, but the historic buildings mean stairs and no elevator in places. Cleanliness is typically good, though a few guests reported maintenance or pest issues. Breakfast feedback is mixed, ranging from impressive hot options to simple prepackaged items or limited selections. Expect a characterful, small-inn experience.

Not a bad spot to stay but surely not luxurious or breathtaking. Only one item for breakfast plus coffee. Had to climb 16 stairs each time we went to our room. Hard for 70 plus folks like us. Again not bad by any means just not the best.

No elevators and steps very steep. Beware! Nothing like advertisement. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. Smoke detector dangling from ceiling.

Arrived w/ very positive expectations and initial check-in was as friendly as we could hope. Unfortunately that would turn out to be the highlight of the stay. As part of the check in parking options were explained. What wasn’t mentioned was the very sticky sap residue from the trees adjacent to the property parking area. Good news - w/ some focused cleaning the sap came off but glad I didn’t wait for it to get baked on in the heat (94 deg). But that was only one of multiple morning surprises. Was greeted by a near 2 inch cockroach / ‘palmetto bug’ in the bathroom in early morning. I know it’s S.C. but boutique hotels typically ensure that doesn’t happen. Mattress was very soft and the light on one bed stand rivaled the leaning tower of Pisa. All aspects characteristic of older, second tier hotels - not an elite B&B / hotel. Finally the included breakfast, while well intentioned, was very underwhelming. Arrived at 9 Sun AM - yet the muffins were gone, hashed browns down to the last few and no ketchup (for eggs). I asked about ketchup and was graciously but surprisingly told - no sir were completely out”. Didn’t try the coffee but the orange juice was mediocre. Ultimately the experience in whole was well below par from what was expected and I feel advertised. I doubt seriously we would choose to stay again when visiting family.

The first three days were good. The room was good. They had a dresser that was very hard to open. The door to the patio was hard to open. The Hotel was old so had no elevator to go up two flights of stairs. Candace was the management person who helped us the most. Also, the lady who did the morning meals. The morning the power went out there were no information from the management as to what to do. There were no flashlights, candles or bars for food. There was no information from the management. There were also no fire extinguishers that we saw. There was no bottled water available for any of their customers. I feel that we should be reimbursed for Friday night as we had now power or any type of direction from the management. I realize the town was without power but I feel the management should have stepped up more. Also for seniors that may have issues climbing stairs they should be advised that they will need to carry their suitcases up the stairs & down the stairs. This property also had an additional newer building in the back of the main house.

I stay was nice for the one night. We did have two nights booked, but we had a family large emergency and had to leave to try to catch an early flight – we also missed our opportunity meet with our realtor that day to show us property, which was the reason we went to Aiken. However, we understand the 48 hour policy things do happen and it wasn’t emergency. It wasn’t like they were lacking business and had a memorial weekend coming up. We were told we could only get a credit when we ever return. We explain that we wouldn’t be returning now and we just wanted, the credit card credit. It was not allowed even under this unforeseen circumstance. It is very disheartening And unfair.

Wonderful location....beautful accommodations and the grounds very nicely kept up. Our only dissatisfaction was minor and that was with the breakfasts. First, Andrea was wonderful cooking eggs to order and providing all requests but the rest reminded us of the Hotel free breakfast including the plastic coffee cups; especially the weekend buffet. In the beautiful setting that is the main house, coffee mugs would have more character in keeping for the building. Understand that costs have risen for providing that breakfast, though.

My only complaint: I thought breakfast was misleading. I anticipated a home cooked southern repast. Instead it was on menu as continental: fine, but pre packaged stuff (Little Debbie muffins, toaster waffles, pre-made croissant egg and sausage for microwave. ) . Perfectly adequate! But same as Holiday Inn. I'm no foodie but I'd anticipated a Southern grits and egg bfast. Lovely place though!
