Every year 'National Geographic Traveler' puts out a list of 'where to stay' This years list is '129 Hotels We Love' !! And guess what? -- Aiken's own Carriage House Inn made the list! Yaaayy!!
Here is the list: 129 Hotels We Love
Here is a link to the Carriage House Inn site if you wanted to take a closer look :)

The Carriage House Inn was originally built in 1872 and has undergone many transformations since then. Most recently this property was leased in '97 to Disney, for the remake of 'That Darn Cat', and converted into Carriage House Inn in '99. Family owned and operated by Bill and Anne Thomasson.
If you are looking for a place to stay when you come to town - I highly recommend Carriage House Inn. Or, if you are planning a special night for your honey - why not book a room at the Inn to top it off!
Located at: 139 Laurens Street NW, Downtown Aiken
