Located along the Ohio River, the historic
Lafayette Hotel, built in 1918, has unique architecture.
Couples
enjoy modern-day amenities like cable TV and WiFi, as they sink away to
another time in themed rooms with Victorian and riverboat décor.
Locally, couples can explore the old riverboat town
of Marietta and take a ride on the Valley Gem Sternwheeler.
One of a kind local
restaurants, a brew pub, trolley tours and the Fenton Glass Factory are also
enjoyable activities in the area.
