Our room could use some updating. Carpet had rolls in it and needs to be stretched. Coffee Pot water well was dirty. Fan did not work. The rooms are overrated and expensive. The bed was comfortable. The view was nice from our room (river view). There is only one elevator in the whole hotel and it is very small. The location was excellent and parking was easily accessible.

Love the Antique furniture but the room was very small and the wallpaper was peeling off the walls. Window air conditioner was so noisy you couldn’t hear the tv. Overall our stay was pleasant.

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.
