Well I am in my second room here at the Hilton Garden Inn as I type this review. The first room smelled so bad I just couldn't stay in it. I was going to check out but was offered this room. TV is broken and the rooms with an 11 are right next to elevators and they are loud! I work for a big company in Aiken and will make sure to steer my coworkers and visitors away from this location. Have to go back to one of the Marriott properties here in town. Just can't stay here again and I thought I found my go to hotel for my request visit to Aiken.

We travel to Aiken quite often and always love staying here. Our most recent experience was with the bartender, Shay. She was so welcoming and hospitable. She offered local recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, even though it didn’t feel like it was her job. Definitely went above and beyond for us.
