Hotel Aiken should be closed until further notice. I understand it has been purchased and is under renovation. Until this is complete, I would advise looking for another hotel. They are taking reservations for Hotel Aiken and upon arrival, redirecting to a small, dirty, cheap motel. The receptionist was rude, could care less that she had guests still willing to stay. In my case, there was nowhere else to go for the night so I decided I'd get through it. Biggest mistake in recent memory. The room was crappy. The toilet ran all night. The bar nearby stayed open till 3 am making lots of noise. Car horns blowing, no water pressure and old rooms. I'd been better off sleeping in the car. It will be about 18-24 months before Hotel Aiken reopens. Until then, I will stay elsewhere and would advise you do the same!
