The Hackett Hotel

Picked the Hackett as a fun option while in town visiting family and I’m so glad I stayed here. Yes there are stairs, the building was built in the 1800’s. Once upstairs you enter into a really comfy common space where you can get coffee, water, etc. I was in the largest room and it was amazing! I highly recommend it if you do a romantic get-away. The curtains close and black out light from the street at night. The bathroom was super cool with the stunning antique vanity and modern shower. Bed was super comfy and the room is really quiet overnight. I will definitely stay again when I’m back in Marietta.

Nice location centrally located to museums and river cruises and college. and the food at street level restaurant is quite good and service all around, food and hotel, pleasant. Apparently, however, the owner is a different story. He had a dinner get together with his three "friends" in the upstairs hotel room guest area until about 9 to 9:30 pm. The boys got louder as the evening wore on and were finally asked to leave, as some people may want to play Scrabble in the common guest area paid for and not be bothered by a noisy party of "friends". As well, the lower patio below the windows played loud rock music throughout the night until about 8 am next day, when someone finally decided to turn off the sound system. Good staff, nice rooms, but really poor and pompous management. Oh, and we did not see the ghost.

We stayed in the Riley Suite. Housekeeping let us see in the 4 other rooms which had emptied that morning. All are nice, but the Riley is incredible. Very comfortable bed. The room was spotless. They provide light breakfast options and some refrigerated beverages as well as coffee, tea, etc. in the common area. We hope to stay again. Other guest praised the Hackett over other downtown hotels. Many options within walking distance. Food, drinks, theatre. The Galley bar and restaurant on the first floor was incredible!
