9/10 Wonderful! (2,412 reviews)
This 100 + year old hotel is exceptional. The staff was soooo amazing. The hotel is in incredible condition for the age. Our room was a beautiful corner room with a very comfortable bed and sitting area. The bathroom is small but so authentic and is what you expect from a hotel with this history. Our room was super clean as well as the entire building. We explored and loved it throughout. Way beyond our expectations and we loved where it sits on King Street in Charleston. We can’t wait for our next visit to the city because we’ll be staying at Francis Marion again. Thank you for our stay!

We always enjoy our stay at the Charleston place. However, it would be much better if there were an ice machine on the floor and we did not have to call for ice to be brought to the room.
