Entrance and room was very dated. Musty odor when entering. Old carpet in main areas. The room was a bit better. If you have any allergies to must and mildew look elsewhere.

Country club vibe

This is an older hotel inside a country club. The setting is quiet and pretty. The rooms are dated but serviceable. The pool is not part of the hotel but you are allowed to use it. It could use some upkeep but is a big lap pool which is nice.

2 night business trip

Traveling for business - arrived late and notified front desk in advance, so check in was no problem. Location is great. Room was clean and quiet, I had a little down time to enjoy the pool. Available breakfast was good - would definitely stay again.

We recently stayed at The Inn at Houndslake during our trip to Aiken for Nationals, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. While Expedia was incorrect about the property having an on-site bar and restaurant—this is actually part of a country club—we were still very happy with our stay. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every person we interacted with was friendly and helpful. They even provided a few items we had forgotten at home, which made a big difference. Our room was spotless, and the beds were extremely comfortable. In the evenings, our kids especially loved the fresh-baked cookies and hot chocolate—it was such a thoughtful touch! The pool was also a huge hit with the whole family. We’ll definitely be returning to The Inn at Houndslake for future Nationals events. Highly recommend!

Good for price

The hotel was a fair price, safe, generally quiet inside. Due to the extensive amount of carpeting, allergies were triggered. Beds were comfortable. Parking was nice.
