Wonderful Historical Hotel
I believe the oldest hotel in the oldest city in Ohio. Great restaurant, bar, free breakfast, great view of the Ohio River and all within walking distance of all the cool things in downtown Marietta. Across the river in West Virginia is a great restaurant as well, the Da Vinci and River Town Steakhouse is also excellent. And come September, they have an awesome paddle wheel fest. Great staff as well. Very friendly and accommodating.

Old riverboat hotel, furnished with antiques. Great location right on the river. Lobby/lounge gorgeous. Standard rooms are cramped, if you want space, you’ll pay for it. Service in bar is slow. Breakfast is pretty good standard fare.

Affordable price is due to overall shabbiness of this grabd old hotel. Lacks such amenities as clock in room, handy places to charge phone, hearing aid batteries, etc. Climate control kept temperature in control but not humidity. (Everything felt damp.) Beautiful river views and excellent restaurant food.

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!
