Old(er) and historic, very quaint!

Very quaint, historic site. Enjoyed viewing the displays of the by-gone riverboat era! Talked with a few couples who return here regularly each year and sometimes more!

Wonderful hotel in a lovely and interesting city

Lovely restored historic hotel overlooking the Ohio River, the Lafayette was a great place to stay while exploring historic Marietta. The staff was very responsive and welcoming, the bar made a perfect martini, and the gunroom served a delicious breakfast.

It's a very unique hotel. We've stayed there numerous times.
Alma, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The street traffic was too much, and too loud. The restaurant wasn’t fully opened and seating was bad. Staff was unpleasant. On the bright side, the room was clean. The bathroom was clean. The water was hot. The sheets were clean.

Nice older hotel, very reasonable

The Lafayette is a very nice older hotel. It's in great condition, and the room's are quite comfortable. Bathroom was a bit narrow, but nice high ceilings. Great old world decor that we really enjoyed. Breakfast at the Gunroom was also good and quite reasonable. Only complaint is that our room faced Front Street; we stayed on a Friday night, and there was a bar across the street that was quite noisy well into the night. If we stay again, will ask for a room facing the river.

I got in late and had to leave early so I didn't get to experience much, but what I did experience was nice. Classic historic hotel, with all the character you would expect. The breakfast staff was terrific.
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was very noisy from other rooms and outside. Room and bathroom shower area was too small. Not enough room to sit without being in someone’s way in the room. No free breakfast which it said on the Hotels site that they had. It is just free through the week.

Great stay but elevator was broken

Great stay. The only downside was the main elevator was down and the scary service elevator was the only option, run by hotel staff. However, the staff was friendly and easy to reach, so really not much waiting. The service elevator looked like something from the ‘20s. Lots of shaking groaning and rocking, but it got us to the 5 th floor and back down the next morning. This will not keep us from staying next time, even if we knew the elevator was out, which is unlikely. The bar is great, breakfast is great.

Timothy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay, as always. Building is showing its age, but staying here is so convenient, I'm okay overlooking the small things. What's great about a smaller place like this is if your plans change - its easier to add or subtract days from your stay without stupid charges. Staff was great, and when my credit card did not show me leaving a day early - one phone call and it was taken care of. I will continue to stay at the Lafayette - at least until I see a ghost - and yes - I look for them!
