Our stay was spectacular. The views from the windows are great, it is so close to the nightlife, restaurants and anywhere you want to go. The rickshaw rides are right outside waiting for you. What a great hotel!!! more

Spa Adagio is located inside the Francis Marion hotel in the downtown Charleston, SC area. My sisters and I went to have a few services and we all agreed it was amazing. We had a wonderful time, and can't wait to return to the area so we can go back for more! more

From the moment we arrived we had great service. The bellboy (Zach) was awesome and gave us some great places to eat. The bartender (Smith) made great drinks and was very personable. Our host in the Swamp Fox (restaurant) Ricky was great and gave us many places to see while in Charleston. Beverely, at the front desk, was also very... more

I travel often, and I have stayed in some absolutely amazing hotels with the price tag to match. I have also been a guest in very basic hostel-like accommodations, but when I go into a situation not expecting much, the let down isn't as great. Given the price we paid for this room, it was by far the most disappointing... more

I was not a guest of the hotel- stayed nearby- and decided to enjoy a day at the hotel's Spa Adagio. It is on the lower level, small, and what you'd expect to see in a typical boutique hotel- not a large historic hotel like the Francis Marion. My partner and I chose this spa because of the Dermalogica products... more

I was pleasantly pleased with this hotel. Other reviews seemed quite critical, so it exceeded my expectations. There were some tradeoffs (not *quite* as centrally located as some others, not *quite* as updated as others), but they were offset by very friendly and helpful staff, the charm of the hotel and also because this hotel did not have a 2-night... more

I have to admit that I was terrified to stay at the Francis Marion after winning this hotel on Priceline and then reading the relatively poor reviews on here. I went in with zero expectations and came out beyond relieved - I was very very happy with my stay at the Francis Marion. Everyone has commented on the great lobby... more

Very nice hotel, with a very nice staff! Close to all the great food and stores. Just near the old Citadal. Ask for a view room of the old parade grounds. more

The hotel itself had some good and some bad. The lobby was large and very elegant, but had an extremely strong perfume odor. At first I thought perhaps someone wearing too much perfume passed through just before me, but I experienced the same smell every time I was there. The room was small, a fact not helped by that fact... more
