Lore City Vacation Packages

I had higher expectations of the hotel, due to the high ratings. However, when we arrived, the pool & hot tub were closed, the pillows were all lumpy, the bed was extremely firm, the shower light did not work, and the conditioner bottle was broken. At the front desk, the host verbally announced our room number and someone else’s information was displayed on the tablet. There were a variety of options on the continental breakfast but the quality was disappointing. Next time, I’ll find somewhere else to stay.

Very clean. Good breakfast.

This place is very outdated. Everything is old. Mildew in bathroom. Large plastic tote in hallway with standing water from a leak. Not a good place to stay.

We had a fantastic stay. Marietta is a great town, and the Lafayette is very much a historic hotel. The common areas are rich with historical context and artifacts, and the two restaurants serve different purposes. The nearby area has an abundance of things to enjoy, day and night. As a historic building, this beauty and texture also come with some compromises. While the front façade, lobby, and restaurant areas are grand and elegant, the floor in our fifth-floor room had a very unavoidable slope to it. The elevator is only big enough for two people comfortably, maybe four if they squeeze in. The staircase, while safe, has some quirks in its layout, door swings, and railings that reflect a different era of construction. I appreciate historic buildings. They were built in a different time, and sometimes they can't be adapted to modern expectations and accessibility requirements. I was OK with the quirks. The building is very well maintained. That said, a guest with mobility or accessibility issues might want to call ahead and have some candid, fact-checking conversations before booking. These details may be charming inconveniences to some guests but genuine obstacles to others. We loved the hotel and the area. The Lafayette has a character that a modern hotel simply can't replicate, and its location makes it an excellent place to experience Marietta. We'd happily stay again, quirks and all.
