At the onset, I was worried. The front desk didn't have coverage at check-in. Waited 30 mins before finding someone in the bar to find the needed staff. That was the only downside. The hotel is old, historic, well maintained and elegant. The staff was excellent in all areas. The breakfast was made to order and excellent. The bar was excellent. The room was extremely clean and temperature control was easy. Ive been to Marietta many times. This was my first stay at this grand hotel but it won't be the last. So much better than a chain hotel.

Below expectations
Biggest disappointment was the price. We really thought we were going to have a luxury, memorable stay. Just average. Second biggest disappointment was the Thanksgiving buffet. I found a couple items I could eat but, for the price, I expected something special. Gun Room now looks like a diner. Not fancy at all. No breakfast offered on Thanksgiving but no discount on room rate either. Finally, no football games were available in our room or in the bar. Drove 6 hrs to get there and we made the best of it. But wont be returning.

This hotel does not have breakfast included, for trying to seem like an old school service oriented hotel it seemed more like a cheap hotel.

Great (fun)location. Old hotel with full service. Little things, which should be relatively easy to fix e.g. bedside lamp didnt work, TV wouldnt get local channels (as listed on in room guide), wi fi was weak to not available in room, a few small ants on bathroom floor.

Good meeting point for extended family
Old historic hotel with antique furniture and some recent upgrades to bed and bath. If the old charm is your thing, you’ll love it. If you like modern and shiny new, you won’t. There were excellent food and beverage choices. Many weekends have music or comedy shows as an extra ticket. It was great for us since we met family and this was halfway point. Overall, it worked nicely for us.
