It is an old historical hotel. The carpet felt dirty. The easy chair in my room was wet. Too much furniture made the already small room feel even smaller.

The hotel was right in the water and had period decor. The bathroom was a lot smaller than I was expecting. There were many fun shops a walkable distance from the hotel. We parked at the hotel and walked all around Marietta. It was a fun experience.

Cool old hotel needs a good deep clean

I understand this is a very old building, but it needs a deep clean and paint. We were in the annex built in 1939. There were big pieces of paint peeling off the walls. The corners and baseboards were filthy and needed painting. Mattress was spongy and uncomfortable. Bathroom smelled like urine, the caulk around the base of the toilet looked to be the culprit. There were bugs of some sort crawling around on the ceiling and wall, they were coming out of the ceiling fan. The room had a funky smell but we realized the second day we could open the window and get some fresh air. Our room faced the river and it was nice to watch the barges go past. Air conditioner wasn't too loud. Parking was across the street along the river, fairly convenient and free. The staff was friendly and the food in the gun room was good. They have free breakfast during the week, order off the menu which was very nice. Elevator is tiny and dirty. The way the hotel is laid out the rooms in the annex are a pretty long walk from the elevator. Water pressure in the shower was good.
