Clarion Inn & Suites - Aiken

Hotel somewhat local to downtown, but a great distance from Interstate 20.

We felt bad giving such a bad review but feel it is necessary. Our reservation was messed up, which is not the fault of the hotel. We were to get 2 King rooms as compensation for the mistake, instead got 2 dbl beds and a pull-out couch that had ripped and shredded sheets. The poor housekeeper had so much to do that she didn't even get to our room on one of the days. The breakfast was not even worth eating. We went out instead. We were dealing with a family crisis so was only at the hotel to sleep and didn't have the energy to complain. We expected better of a Clarion. Definitely needs updating and some TLC.

Room was basic, nothing special. Wouldn't want to stay longer than 1 or 2 nights..

I have over 2000 nights in my life staying in hotels. This was without a doubt the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed at. There were physical stains on the sheets, I chased three roaches out of the bathtub and there were stains all over the carpet. I had an immediate death in the family and was backed up against the wall because of the Masters tournament. I paid $275 a night and ended up sleeping in my car.

After reading the reviews we were expecting far worse and were pleasantly surprised. The only downside was the price we were there for the Masters and it's unfortunate that the room rates were roughly quadruple what they would be ordinarily. I think that's called gouging!
