I wanted to stay at an historic place and the Lafayette fit the bill. The property was nice and clean and in a great location. The rooftop seating was so nice to relax and watch the barges navigate the river. The free breakfast in the Gun Room was excellent and the bar had great food and good service. The only negative, and its not that big of a deal was the small bathroom. I would stay here again.

I loved this hotel! Very convenient to everything. We got a king river view. The room wasn’t huge but I would rather have a view than a big room. Elevator could be a little bigger..we brought bikes and only one could use at a time. Restaurant in the lobby was great!

Worth a visit!
Overall, I give this stay 4 stars. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were all wonderful. The hotel is pet friendly, which is a huge plus. My husband and I ate dinner one night in the Riverview and the food was great. We also ate breakfast in the Gun room and were impressed by what was provided with our stay. Yes, some of the rooms are small, but it is an old building so that is to be expected. Our two complaints for the trip were 1) the Riverview was closed to hotel guests one night we were there due to a private event. This was frustrating as it is the only restaurant in the hotel that serves dinner and 2) while service in the Gun room was great most days, it was awful on Saturday. We almost walked out while waiting for our food. With the exception of those two complaints, I would highly recommend The Lafayette. It's a great historic location right on the river and next to a great walking trail. I will visit again if I come back to Marietta!

A good historic hotel.
The hotel is on the Ohio river in Marietta, OH. The breakfast is reasonably priced in the Gun Room. The bar and grill was nice as well. The single elevator seemed to keep up with the 5 floors. The rooms were a bit dated, but the hotel is over 100 years old, but has been kept up and modernized pretty well. A small refrigerator/freezer would have welcome.

Loved staying at the Lafayette Hotel in Marietta OH. Everything about it was great except for dinner Sunday night at hotel restaurant. Had a bad experience with being seated and about 45 minutes of not being approached we left. Had this not happened I would have given our experience 5 stars for our stay. Definitely will go back again.
