"All was very nice. The staff was wonderful; the location was great. There was a lot to do in Charleston. It is a very nice walkable city. The Francis Marian is a lovely historical hotel. It has infinite charm. My only issue was the water pressure in the guest room toilet. Other than that, it was a perfect place to relax and unwind after touring the city. Would definitely consider staying there again."
