We traveled to Aiken to help our son and his spouse who were expecting any day. Stayed first two nights in Aiken hotel which allowed pets, but found it not worth near the price paid. Booked 145 through VRBO our 2nd night, as we had had enough of hotel life. We messaged the host requesting that 2 grandchildren be allowed to stay a couple of nights while their parents went to hospital. Not only did the hosts, Debbie and Harry, allow the request, they moved us to a bigger cottage. The cottage was immaculately clean and accommodating. Strong WiFi, quiet and efficient central air system, plentiful plush white towels, functional big screen tv with plenty of channels, hard floors with rugs where needed, bathtub and shower combo, plentiful water pressure and hot water, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, cold full size refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, microwave and full size stove and oven, newer model full size washer and dryer, laundry soap and dryer sheets (we brought way too many clothes), very comfortable and inviting king size bed with clean white sheets, ample front door parking and nestled in a multiple acre peaceful, quiet country setting. We were indeed blessed to find such accommodations.
