10/10 Excellent

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

Wallpaper mold in open closet . Hard to find parking other than that the hotel was historically authentic.

History, history, history! The location is perfect and sits directly on the river in Marietta. The bar is great, the food is great and staff was kind and inviting.
Sherry, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

I knew the property was old and was expecting old charm. However, I was disappointed because they do not seem to keep up with cleaning and there was a musty odor through the property. The room was small and the chair and bed were uncomfortable. Only spent one night so it was ok. The location is awesome right on the river with restaurants and shopping all around.
Rita, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent
