Carriage House Inn is a bed-and-breakfast style inn at 139 Laurens St NW in Aiken. The building has a historic setting, with a main house dating to 1872 and additional annex space, so the tone is more restored inn than chain hotel. It suits travelers who want to stay in the center of Aiken rather than drive in from the edge of town.

Rooms vary by category. The verified room details include deluxe queen guest rooms with private baths, premium king rooms with double whirlpools, and king suites with kitchens. Other room options include flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi, while some upgraded spaces add access to a shared veranda, and some suites include living rooms and balconies overlooking a courtyard.

The stay works well for a short Aiken visit because breakfast is served at the inn, including a hot breakfast. Parking is available without a separate charge, and the property also has an elevator. A communal area includes a minifridge and microwave, which is useful for simple storage or reheating outside the room.

Tourists get the advantage of being based in Aiken’s historic downtown rather than treating the town as a drive-through stop.

One limit to know before booking is the pet policy cost: a cleaning fee of $75 is added when a pet joins the stay.
