Francis Marion Hotel, Charleston

Very quaint and within walking distance to Charleston Music Hall and restaurants. Staff was excellent.

Liked: Clean.
Disliked: Small room.

The location is great - close to shopping, theaters, and great restaurants. It's a beautiful hotel and the staff could not be more friendly. I would recommend you go to one of the surrounding restaurants for a nice dinner rather than the one in the hotel but, other than that, this is a great place to stay while in Charleston.

Liked: It's beautiful and the view from our room was perfect.
Disliked: The restaurant food at the Swamp Fox was so so, but the waitress was great. The bathroom is really tiny, but it's an old hotel and I would rather they kept close to the old decor than wreck the rooms by modernizing them.

Great location for walking King Street shops. Great having a Starbucks in the building. Parking was convenient ( Charleston Parking Garage ) and was easy to locate.

Liked: Small but a very nice, clean, updated room. Helpful staff.

Lovely stay.

Exceptional

Liked: Location was great! Conveniently located near shops and restaurants.
Disliked: No complimentary breakfast. I was traveling for work, so just a bagel or granola bar would have been handy before my morning meetings.

This hotel & Charleston are...

Liked: Location, location, location. Hire a bicycle 'cab' to everywhere.
Disliked: The views of Charleston are great from your room but on from a higher floor. The room had everything we needed but the bathroom room was the smallest we've experienced since an old cruise ship. The term of the morning ritual of the 3 S's can now be changed to the 4 S's, adding 'simultaneously'.

Loved it! Planning on a...

Liked: Swamp Fox restaurant was good and it was awesome to have a fully loaded Starbucks on the property. Location could not be beat - love King Street!
Disliked: Not a big thing, but there was some street noise.
