Frank
Great Stay with Room for Improvement
The Francis Marion Hotel has a fantastic location near the historic district, and the staff are exceptionally accommodating. Our traditional room was beautifully clean, but a microwave would have enhanced convenience. Consider requesting a room away from the ice machine to minimize noise disturbances!

It was fabulous, immaculate and with a view.

Anthony
The room was decent and the bed was very comfortable. upon check-in, the air conditioner was set to 40 degrees, making it frigid. It took nearly a full day to warm it up to a tolerable 68 degrees. The bathroom was incredibly small, with limited space for toiletries and no proper toilet lid. One elevator was down, leading to long waits. Noise levels were manageable, yet the layout felt cramped. Friendly staff provided excellent service, especially at the restaurant. Parking options were confusing, so be cautious when choosing between valet and garage rates.

The hotel is perfect with affable employees at the reception desk. The location of the venue was ideal and premier - a 10-15 minute walk from Grace Episcopal Church. Btw, went to city center, located at a medium distance from the hotel.

Charming hotel with room for improvement
Francis Marion Hotel boasts a fantastic location in downtown Charleston, with stunning water views from select rooms. The historic charm adds to its appeal, but guests may find the bathrooms surprisingly small and some areas requiring better cleanliness. Despite this, the friendly staff enhances the overall experience.

Andrew
The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city with lots to explore just a stroll away. The staff were super friendly and helpful during our stay, making us feel right at home. The room was spacious and clean, with comfy beds for a good night's sleep.
The bathroom was a bit small, which was expected in a historic building. Noise from the streets and neighboring rooms could be disruptive, so light sleepers might need earplugs.

Excellent location of the hotel. Very good treatment of the personnel and disposition to offer a good experience.
room we had was spectacularly big, bathroom was spectacularly small, you could hardly get in, tiny! Unbelievable that they make such comfortable rooms with such small bathrooms...

Gordon
The interior was breathtaking with classic touches like a pianist in the lobby and flavored water. Despite some small bathrooms, the property's charm and elegant updates made it a memorable stay. The location was convenient, allowing me to easily walk to nearby attractions and enjoy the beautiful Calhoun Park view from my room. Overall, a lovely experience with friendly staff and quality amenities.

Hotel location is perfect for walking the historic district of Charleston. The hotel has maintained the stately beauty of the glamorous hotels of the 1920’s & 1930’s.
As with many business during this pandemic time, the restaurant and lounge were short staffed.

Great location and friendly staff! Perfect spot right in the historic district! The room was spacious with super comfy beds and the fridge was a champ at keeping our drinks cold. Staff were super helpful, even letting us check in early. A microwave would’ve been nice to have for snacks. Definitely some quirks with it being an older hotel, but overall, good vibes!

Christopher
Very nice hotel, well located. Very professional and friendly staff. Clean, spacious and quiet room.
Just a hindrance to parking, but that's it.
