Top Charleston Hotel Reviews

The Francis Marion Hotel

The Francis Marion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Francis Marion is a magnificent, historical beauty. I loved staying there and would again. The staff was incredible. The room and property were impeccably clean. The lobby is magnificent. The LOCATION IS UNBEATABLE. For the age of the building, I was very impressed with the updates and cleanliness. My only negatives would be that I feel like the elevators could be updated, as well as the toilets. The toilets were very odd and the bowls were scraped up looking like mold. I actually tried to scrape it off and it was just wear, not mold, but looked very unsightly. I feel like they could overhaul a couple of things and it would make a huge difference in this hotel. These items would not make me not stay there in the future however. The cleanliness and staff made up for those issues. I also loved that there is a nice restaurant in the hotel."
