Spent two nights at the Francis Marion for the wedding of a friend. Was completely taken in by the lovely website photos. However, our hotel room on the 8th floor was musty smelling and small. We looked out on the top of the garage and the mechanicals for the air conditioning. Bathrooms are the size of a closet; chipped marble.... More

Other than a great location, this hotel is NOT worth the price. The walls are paper thin - you can hear every word spoken by people in adjoining room. They told us at check-in that the parking fee was $18/day. The final receipt showed $19/day, and when we questioned that, their only response was "I don't know who told you... More

Staff was nice and rooms were spacious but they were very musty. The hotel is not located in what i would consider the heart of the historic district, its on the far end, but most things are still within long walking distance

If you are planning an event in Charleston, look no further than The Francis Marion. In doing so, you will find yourself in a historic setting with current elegance. Six years ago, my Organization, The Hat Ladies of Charleston, selected The Francis Marion as the site for its annual Mother's Day Luncheon; a tradition was begun that continues and will... More

The location cannot be any better. On Saturday we enjoyed the in- house Starbucks coffee and the fantastic combination Art Fair/Farmers... More

On a recent trip to Charleston, I stayed at the Francis Marion on King Street. Not only is the hotel beautiful and in the perfect location, but the staff is also extremely helpful and friendly. At 2:00am, I heard a thumping sound in my room and called guest services to see what the noise might be. The staff members took... More

Stayed there one quick night for a conference. It's very nice, but doesn't quite live up to the promises on the web site. Location was excellent.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel is a beautiful, historic building. It is located right in downtown Charleston which was perfect for walking to all the shops and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The valet was busy, but with 8 wedding parties in the hotel at one time it was understandable. It's... More
