The Francis Marion hotel is a beautiful, historic hotel in a great location. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and we had the best shower (pressure) of any hotels we ever stayed in! Would definitely return!

Our experience at the Francis Marion Hotel was nothing short of disappointing. We arrived understanding that our room might not be ready—no big deal—but what followed was an absolute mess. The front desk instructed us to have the valet hold our bags while we waited. What should’ve been a simple, courteous exchange turned into an awkward and uncomfortable interaction. The valet was rude, clearly annoyed to be doing his job, and actually complained that he was in a bad mood because he didn’t study for a math exam. When I asked him to press the unlock button on the car, he literally threw the keys at me. Completely unprofessional.
We hoped things would improve once we got into our room. They did not.
The room was a disaster. Rust and mold were visible in several areas, the mini fridge was leaking, and the carpet was wet—soaking wet. I have asthma, and staying in a room with mold and damp carpeting made it incredibly difficult for me to breathe comfortably. It felt more like a health hazard than a hotel room.
Calling the valet was a 30+ minute ordeal every single time, and they remained consistently rude and unhelpful throughout our stay.
This place is touted as a “Charleston classic,” but that seems to just be a poor excuse to neglect basic upkeep and customer service. Save your money & stay anywhere else!

The hotel is conveniently located on King St. Our room was not cleaned well. The bathroom was dirty, small and inconvenient, w/ old plumbing. Bed and pillows seemed very old and used.
I understand Charleston is filled with old hotels, but this one was missing the charm and in need of a serious update or refresh.

The hotel is very nice except there is a lot of street noise & every morning at 5:25am the ice machine sounded like it was dropping ice for several minutes.
Ask for another room if they give you 508.

This is an excellent hotel in a great location. We had a corner room on the 11th floor and the sunrise view was spectacular. We also highly recommend the onsite restaurant.

Very good location
