LaFayette Hotel

LaFayette is a historic hotel. Sternwheel light fixture, carpet that is branded, small rooms that are to be expected with historic locations. When we went, the main elevator was broken so we had to take the stairs. In certain places, the building is showing it's age in flaky paint or older/fraying wallpaper, but it's still a fun part of Marietta's history. We had a beautiful view of the river. The bed was not comfortable & it was squeaky.

Great hotel but dine anywhere but at the hotel.

The hotel was wonderful. Old school feel and charm. The food in the restaurant was disappointing. From the long wait after ordering to the overall quality it was not what we expected for the cost. The wait staff were friendly and professional and did a great job but reading between the lines we knew they are aware of the poor quality meals being served. Will definitely stay again but will be dining at one of the local area restaurants.

I loved that it was a nice older hotel that felt like going back in time. The rooms were nice, furnished with antiques with a sternwheeler theme. The location was walking distance from everything. There was a rooftop patio where you could sit & watch the paddlewheelers, barges & other boats go by or watch the moon rise. Very charming!

Excellent location on the river and close to downtown. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms are quaint and the bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. Highly recommend the king room with a river view. The included breakfast was good.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I knew the property was old and was expecting old charm. However, I was disappointed because they do not seem to keep up with cleaning and there was a musty odor through the property. The room was small and the chair and bed were uncomfortable. Only spent one night so it was ok. The location is awesome right on the river with restaurants and shopping all around.

Kitchen closed at 9 pm but there are options nearby. Ceiling fan didn’t work but A/C did very well on a very hot night. Much history in Marietta.

Keep in mind the property was built in 1918 and we were in the "old" part of the hotel and the rooms were small but well maintained with time appropriate furniture. Probably not the best place for "Kids"

The Lafayette was a beautiful historical hotel that we enjoyed very much. Close to the river and eating places and many other things. Very good atmosphere and everyone we encountered there was kind and helpful.
