The Francis Marion Hotel's location is very convenient to shopping on King Street, many great restaurants and the College of Charleston campus. The rooms however are ridiculously small and the bathrooms are the size of a broom closet. The staff was friendly and the room was clean, but with all of the fantastic hotels in Charleston I doubt that I... More

When I booked the room I was going to stay in here, I told the lady at the front desk that I was going to be staying for my honeymoon. She told me "wow that's awesome, I'm super glad that y'all picked here for y'all's honeymoon. Because it is your honeymoon I will go ahead and give you and upgrade... More

Beautiful classic old hotel. We had a fantastic corner room and had both city and water views.

Loved the room, however don't expect a big spacious bathroom, remember this is an olddddd hotel!! Staff were always friendly, welcoming and helpful. There... More

Our daughter was married in Charleston and we reserved a block of rooms at this hotel. Our guests were pleased--loved being able to park their car and walk to everything.

I parked my rental car in the adjacent lot and didn't use it again until I left 2 days later. This is a great old hotel with an impressive gilded lobby and well-trained, well-mannered staff right in thick of the city. While I was told that my room was 'upgraded', I didn't see how, given that the room was pretty... More

My husband and I stayed here during a recent trip to Charleston. This hotel is perfectly situated for exploring downtown. It is right on King Street, which is the main shopping area and walkable to many of Charleston's other attractions such as Waterfront Park, the Market and the Battery. As many reviewers have mentioned, the rooms are small and the... More

We stayed here for one night after booking through Hotwire. Got a great rate on this normally expensive hotel. I read a lot of the other reviews and was worried about a tiny outdated room and slow elevators. However I was pleasantly surprised. We asked for a larger room if possible upon check-in (anticipating small rooms anyway) and cited the... More

This was our second stay, we were in a deluxe room this time....the room was larger but bathroom still small. Room service was below average with the pecan pancakes being pancakes with a few pecans thrown in for too much money. The reason we stayed here and would again is the location to upper king and the price. If you... More
