The Francis Marion Hotel

This is a lovely, old historic hotel. It is on King St so near anything you could possibly think of in terms of eating, drinking and shopping. The staff is very nice and on top of all requests. The only negative was our room was very small with a teeny tiny bathroom. There are larger rooms to rent though.

Andrew the valet guy was great. He helped us with many bags we had due to our daughters wedding. The room was very comfortable and clean.

We booked our trip months in advance and our card was charged 3 weeks before our arrival. Upon arriving only 1 of the 4 rooms we booked were ready. The front desk seemed confused and not very friendly. Eventually all rooms were ready 2 hours after we were supposed to check in. All rooms were to be Queen beds, however, one had 2 double beds. When my husband called the front desk to complain, the desk clerk hung up on him. He called back and said I think we were disconnected. Then we were supposed to be notified if they could accommodate the original booking, we never heard anything until we were checking out. The dresser drawer in our room would not stay shut, no matter what was tried. Also, there was a tile missing in the shower, so you had to be careful you didn't stumble and fall. Checking out was also terrible and time consuming, same front desk staff. The staff in the restaurant was amazing and friendly though. We will not be staying here again.

Great hotel in downtown location. Wonderful service and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend staying here!

Excellent hotel! Within walking distance of everything and a comfortable, clean room (I LOVED the old bathtub!). I would recommend the "bay view" rooms. Excellent food and value at the hotel's Swamp Fox Restaurant.

The room are really really small and in very poor conditions. Nothing even close to the pictures

The front desk seemed to be a little disorganized. Check-out time isn't until noon, and thus when we tried to check in at 4:30 p.m., our room still wasn't ready. They need to move check-out to 11. The housekeeping team worked very hard and we were comfortable that the room was clean. However, the service was a bit unsteady. Two days we received only one hand towel, one day we didn't receive washcloths, the last day we didn't receive complimentary water bottles. Also, the room we stayed in was a bit tight; there was a lot of furniture, very little room for luggage. Bed was very comfortable.

Wonderful stay at a beautiful hotel.

The corner King room was nice, and views were spectacular. The bed was very comfortable and the restaurant included was great (Swamp Fox).

We booked the best suit in the hotel, but the bathroom is one of the worst we have ever stayed.... It’s like it was built before the civil war and never upgraded. Do NOT recommend this place.
