At the onset, I was worried. The front desk didn't have coverage at check-in. Waited 30 mins before finding someone in the bar to find the needed staff. That was the only downside. The hotel is old, historic, well maintained and elegant. The staff was excellent in all areas. The breakfast was made to order and excellent. The bar was excellent. The room was extremely clean and temperature control was easy. Ive been to Marietta many times. This was my first stay at this grand hotel but it won't be the last. So much better than a chain hotel.

This hotel does not have breakfast included, for trying to seem like an old school service oriented hotel it seemed more like a cheap hotel.

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.
