The Lafayette was a beautiful historical hotel that we enjoyed very much. Close to the river and eating places and many other things. Very good atmosphere and everyone we encountered there was kind and helpful.

Excellent location on the river and close to downtown. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms are quaint and the bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. Highly recommend the king room with a river view. The included breakfast was good.

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.

Troy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Keep in mind the property was built in 1918 and we were in the "old" part of the hotel and the rooms were small but well maintained with time appropriate furniture. Probably not the best place for "Kids"
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a very grand hotel. It’s a little beat up now.

Lafayette Hotel is a beautiful early 20th century hotel in the charming city of Marietta. We had a wonderful visit!
Patrick, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful and unique hotel right on the river and in historic district. Lots to do close by. Great staff, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was also simple and delicious.
