You certainly will enjoy the atmosphere. The old time decor throughout is exciting to see. The music on Friday was a little loud but not too bad. Overall, a great time visiting our friends.

Very friendly staff. It's an old hotel, so the rooms are smallish, but the location right on the river is great and there are plenty of bars and restaurants within an easy wal. The hotel bar/restaurant is a nice place to hang out and the food is excellent.

This is a delightful, historic hotel. We had a twin room. It was very small but, quaint. Antique furnishings and beautiful wood carver headboards. I would have preferred a firmer bed. The lobby area is filled with antique furnishings. It’s also right on the same block as restaurants, shopping and the river runs right along the side. Loved the town of Marietta.
