The Francis Marion hotel is in the perfect location for those who want to walk the city and be close to all the attractions and food. The hotel was clean and the service was wonderful. Parking was easy and the hotel gives guests a card that makes it more affordable, as well. I will definitely stay here again when visiting Charleston!

Staff at the front desk was a bit dismissive and parking costs $20/night. Breakfast not included but there’s a restaurant on site.
Pros:
- great location, close to attractions, restaurants, shops
- Wifi works well
- rooms are relatively clean however I found a few hairs here and there
- rooms are spacious enough
- Check-in is at 4pm officially but our room was ready at 2pm so we could check in
- mini fridge in room
- the hotel is nicely furnished and decorated
- 24-hour fitness center
- 2 complimentary bottles of water
- Coffee machine in the room
Cons:
- staff at the front desk could’ve been friendlier
- bed too soft and pillows too thick
- A/C didn’t work properly—the room was either ice cold or hot

This is the hotel I was most dissatisfied with during this trip. Apart from its good location, there is nothing else to recommend, except that the white guy who helped with parking was very responsible. Before leaving, I went to find him and gave him a tip to express my gratitude.
