Never again
Check in and check out were not friendly. Room was small and cramped. I even booked king riverfront room. There were ants all oversmall bathroom. Room was stuffy with only a window a/c. Did not tell us there was a rooftop patio for smoking and sitting. Another guest told us. Our first visit to Marrietta was miserable!

We love this hotel. We found it last year while looking for a place to escape the summer heat, so we decided to stay again when passing through. A lot of older hotels aren't always clean, but this one has been spotless both times we've visited. The staff is very friendly, and we love the history here and the convenience to walk the cute little town of Marietta.

Historic Charm with Modern Conveniences
Awesome 100+ year old, well maintained and updated hote, with most of its original furnishings and layout in a quaint, historic river town with many excellent restaurants, stores and pubs. Very friendly locals and great service. Sits on a point where two major rivers meet. Location could not be better. Great restaurant and bar in hotel that serves all three meals. Only downside: Hotel rooms from 100 years ago were not as spacious, but that is part of the authenticity and historic charm.

The Lafayette is by far one of our favorite places. The staff is amazing. It’s quiet with beautiful views. There are 2 restaurants within the building and a Starbucks. It has one elevator but we’ve never had to wait long. Our kids love the historic aspect of it. With 4 of us taking showers we never ran out of hot water. Mattresses are firm.

We chose the Lafayette Hotel for it's closeness to a venue we were attending. Room was cool temperature when we arrived on a very hot day. Very clean. Well appointed with everything we needed.
