Check in and staff excellent. Waffles at breakfast are to die for. Wish I could get them in Canada, Since I was in the small double room on the third floor, I expected a small room but it was spacious with windows on two sides making it very light. Recommend for one person looking for quality accommodation at a fair price in expensive Charleston yet still in easy walking distance to the waterfront and all the best restaurants and sights. Recommended.

Great location in the heart of Charleston. Beautiful facility. Gets its name from the renovation of several older buildings. Wine and cheese every night in the lounge area.

The room was beautiful & larger than expected. The bathroom, though beautiful, needs some shelving to accommodate toiletries. The bedding was extremely comfortable! The independent temperature control is always a huge plus! Location was perfect & we enjoyed walking everywhere! The food was amazing! Our cocktails were perfect & the bartender was friendly & gracious! The rooftop gave us beautiful views of Charleston while sipping an amazing Bloody Mary!

Canada
Our room faced the port, was a good size with comfy bed and suitable furniture. The bathroom was small as other reviews mentioned but it was acceptable for the 2 of us. The hotel is in an historic building and the lobby has maintained its character and beauty. The room was renovated some time ago but we still loved its ambience. Paid parking, which was located in an attached city parkade, was a bit confusing at first but it all worked out in the end. The Francis Marion Hotel is centrally located with easy access to downtown sights as well as to the port. We certainly loved our tour of the USS Yorkton. We went to the Swamp Fox restaurant twice and enjoyed both of our meals there. The Francis Marion Hotel is great value for a stay in Charleston. We would definitely stay there again.
