Out of the way location
A nice spacious location in Aiken. Tucked in off a main road with easy access to food and shopping. The rooms are a bit dated but in good repair and the walls are thin, but the noise was kept to a minimum by the guests. I had a nice size refrigerator and a microwave in the room for convenience. There is an 18 hole golf course, pool and tennis/pickle-ball courts on the property also. Along with a clubhouse which serves meals. I met Pete the General Manager, a good man who cares about the hotel and it's guests. He's a Pittsburgh Steelers fan also, but I won't hold that against him! I plan to return on my next trip to Aiken.

The Inn at Houndslake is an older property and probably could benefit from a “freshening” but that didn’t really make a difference in how nice my stay was there. We paid a fortune to stay at The Greenbrier in WVa and it too is in need of a facelift. The front desk gentleman could have not been any more accommodating and welcoming at the Inn at Houndslake. I was traveling alone for an equestrian event and felt extremely safe. My room was clean and fresh. And I slept the best I ever had in my bed there, only surpassed by the beds at the Pinehurst Inn. I will definitely be staying again thee next time I’m in Aiken.

The staff was fantastic. The mattresses were amazing, and there is a very large (and clean) pool. I wish the breakfast was a bit more full when we got there at 7:45, but otherwise would definitely return!!

Great Alternative to your usual motel/hotel
It is a fitting place to stay in Aiken as it reflects the atmosphere of this horse training, golf, and traditional city. Somewhat hard to locate it was in excellent condition with a friendly and attentive staff and a dining room set on one of the putting greens. Comfortable bed, a good but not great breakfast and very reasonable price.

Lovely weekend
We had a great time. April, Belinda and the entire staff were very friendly and accommodating. I felt like we went back in time and we adored our stay. I wish more and more places were still around like this. We had a short stay and I wish it was longer. We will be back.

Lovely and a few tips
Lovely place. We enjoyed our stay here and love the fact that they keep it original and a home style feel. Everyone was courteous and warm. The place was clean and comfy. I only have a few suggestions. Outside paint (update) specify dog potty area. Add signage where hotel is and what buildings are as you’re driving or walking. We thought the pub building was hotel check in. Clean up tennis court closest to hotel or if not remove it and add a small dog park area. Heat pool and jacuzzi from April onward to winter time. Add hot breakfast items (pancakes/waffles/eggs/sausage or bacon/quiche/potatoes) alongside dry cereal/ breads and fruit. This place could be so much more with a small amount of work added. Utilize the pub kitchen for the hotel breakfast and baked items in the evening such as cookies or brownies etc. Promote the hotel at horse and golfing events. Do a weekend Groupon package. Promote the golf course to buisness groups in and out of town for a retreat. Use a room or area of hotel to bring in a masseuse and link them with the hotel if someone wants to book a mobil massage. Play quiet music in lobby to make it a bit more inviting and not so stark quiet where we feel like we must whisper when checking in later then 9pm. I love the place so so much and will be back, but we had to tip toe when checking in because it was so quiet not to disturb hotel guests and didn’t know if we could talk at all. Thats it just a few tips to help out and we want this place to remain open
