I liked the history of the hotel. Our room was ok and the bathroom was to small. There was no sound proofing at all. We could hear everything going on outside the hotel all night (loud traffic, music from the bars, and people walking down the street talking.) that was very annoying. We thought we were getting breakfast included, only to find out that its only during the week you get it included. We did try the buffet and it was not great. We did enjoy the bar a couple of nights for a drink. It was an experience but I don't think we'll stay again. The town of Marietta was great and the history amazing. Everyone we met there were super nice

The Lafayette is an historic hotel and the rooms are furnished with period-appropriate furniture. It is right on the water front of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers and there is a nice waterfront walking area. The restaurant food was good and reasonably priced. We’ve stayed here multiple times over the past few years.

Hotel was nice and old, not honeymoon, but great historic overnight. Great service, stingy on towels though. Town is a clean college town, with nice trails along the Ohio. Weird thing though, they let a half naked guy dance at the end of the street by hotel downtown from 8pm to around 11pm blaring music. Seems harmless, but weird if you want to throw a penny in fountain at that time period. There are random homeless people along trail, but they don't beg, this is oddly standard around college towns. No ghosts in hotel, even went in basement with all the nerd stuff, nothing. Very nice historic hotel, so don't get me wrong. A must visit!

This historical building is lovely. Our room was spacious w a sitting area and 2 bathrooms. Very very cool. Overall cleaniness was good. Wallpaper was pealing off the walls. There were stains on the chairs, but linens were crisp and clean. Window AC units and ceiling fans. This was fine for our Oct stay, not sure how it would be in July or August. Lobby was pretty, but there was an odd odor and carpet could use a good cleaning. All in all a good place to stay. Close to everything. Wlka le to bars and restaurants and quaint downtown shops.

We were given coupons for free breakfast on Saturday but were told at breakfast that day that the coupons were mistakenly given to us by a desk clerk who'd made a mistake so they were not valid. Breakfast prices are VERY VERY reasonable at the hotel but i feel like the coupons should have still been honored since it was the hotel's mistake. We ended up paying full price for breakfast. We plan to visit again in the future because we did love the hotel and its great location. We'll just check the coupons before we head down to breakfast.

The room was VERY SMALL and the bathroom was incredibly small. The small basin was right in the way of the toilet. You had to shift your body past the sink to get to the seat! They had too much big furniture in the room and we could barely turn around. The AC was in the window - not in the wall as depicted here. The hotel itself was lovely - but our room was just too small. The bed mattress was lumpy and very uncomfortable.

The property itself was unique and the fact that it was set in the 50s and we appreciate older buildings and enjoy our stay in such a place. Didn’t like ? There was nothing we didn’t like about the place. It was better than expected.

Beautiful historic hotel. They advertise free breakfast but it’s only free Mon-Thursday. It doesn’t specify that unless you scroll down into fine print. They use the banner of free breakfast. However, it’s close to great food. River walk, and entertainment!
