We had purchased a timeshare vacation tour through Bluegreen, and were offered the chance to upgrade from the hotel they were going to put us in, to the Francis Marion Inn. We paid $49 for the Bluegreen timeshare vacation tour and an additional $138 for the upgrade to stay TWO NIGHTS at Francis Marion Hotel. We found that regular rates... more

My new husband and I chose the Francis Marion to stay in during our honeymoon. After reading a few reviews on this site we were a little wary but decided to give it a try. We are VERY happy we did. We stayed at the hotel for 10 wonderful nights and the staff was top-notch the whole time. They gave... more

I stayed at the Francis Marion with my husband and 4 year old while attending a conference there. This is not a hotel for families with young children. The standard room we stayed in was too small. There was about 6 inches between the bed and the dresser at the foot of the bed. We had to turn sideways to... more

I wm writing this review from room 918. Upon checking in, you will notice the hotel is in need of painting and cleaning. While the brass ornamentation is pretty, much of it is filthy. The inside doors of the elevators have graffiti engraved in them. Our room has a smaller bath, which isn't a problem however we would have preferred... more

The good: My wife and I booked through Hotwire, which meant we didn't know we were getting the Francis Marion until after we'd paid. I was a little hesitant, as I'd never heard the name but we'd already paid so there was no backing out. Turns out we had a great time. This is an older building, and the rooms... more

The Francis Marion Hotel is very well situated within Charleston. Most major sites are within a 20-minute walk. Service was very congenial, but the hotel reminded me of my grandparent's condo complex. If you are searching for a luxury Chareston hotel, this is not your place. Rather, consider this property to be a solid 3-star hotel. All hotel staff we... more

Stayed here with 3 teenagers for a look at College of Charleston. Room was very spacious, bathroom VERY small. Great location, close to shopping and restaurants more

stayed at the Francis Marion for 5 nights - wonderful central hotel and courteous and efficient staff - from check in to check out. We had a problem with our toilet and it was attended to immediately - Nothing in this hotel was a problem and free internet was a bonus. A staff member called Jere went out of his... more

Stayed here for a conference which was held in the hotel. Charleston is very very charming. This hotel is in the perfect area for walking and seeing all the sights. It is old, that is for sure. The rooms are small and the bathrooms even smaller. The room was adequate for me but it wasn't the grandest property I have... more
