The room was very spacious. Beds were most comfortable, with crisp, clean bedding. Bathroom was spotless with ample bath, hand & face towels available. Usual hotel amenities available. Breakfast offered a great variety from cooked (eggs, sausage, waffles) to cereals, yogurts & fresh fruit. Plenty of coffee available in the morning and chilled lemon-infused water available all day long. The freshly baked cookies in the lobby were a lovely touch. The location was perfect for our needs, in close walking proximity to grocery stores and other retail outlets, short drive to historic Downtown Summerville and easy connection to the '26 to Charleston. Staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating!

  • Francis Marion Hotel

    Historic District, Charleston
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.5
    Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,470 reviews
    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.

    All the staff was superlative. We especially appreciated the gracious and friendly table service of the breakfast staff. The location was perfect for walking the historic district (2 blocks to City Market, 1 bock to Gibbs Museum). Parking was available directly behind hotel just 10 feet from the back entrance - and access to the building from front and back required no stairs (!) - unusual in Charleston and a real plus for our group traveling with elderly. Charming open air courtyard and outdoor tables. The wine and cheese hour and sherry all evening were bonuses!

    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. Rooms are spacious, well appointed with small kitchenette and complimentary sodas and sparkling water, cheese and crackers in the refrig. We've stayed here before and will stay here again.

    I loved staying at this resort. The rooms were beautiful, and the view from the hotel was spectacular. We enjoyed s'mores by the firepits as well as live music in the evening. It was great to see the kids enjoying the Easter egg hunt. Breakfast and dinner at the Fish House were great. We also enjoyed the water taxi to visit Charleston.

    The stay was fine, of course new pillows and sheets should be placed on the beds. The pillows were very old as if you were at home and needed to buy new ones. The sheets were very beaded and need to be thrown away. The staff is not friendly nor hospitable at all. They definitely need to work on their customer service skills.

    The island is beautiful and designed for relaxation.

    The island is beautiful and designed for relaxation. We did not golf but it is big there. There are many rules on the island which my friend did not like and she thought the people were uppity. We only had bikes and you really do need a car to get groceries and in case of rain. You will get stuck there without transportation. Also since we did not have a car, I did not print the pass that was sent to us by our Airbnb host. We took a Lyft to Kiawah and had to pay a $20 entrance fee to the island. Had we taken an Uber or printed out the car pass, we could have avoided this fee. We were not told about that. Overall, I would go again and be better prepared the next time.

    Seabrook Island itself is a gem.

    Seabrook Island itself is a gem. The beaches were beautifully uncrowded, and we were constantly surrounded by incredible wildlife—deer, cranes, barn owls, dolphins, and even jumping fish! It felt like we were immersed in nature the entire time. We also loved exploring the nearby Freshfields Village, which had great food options and a charming atmosphere.

    If you love history Charleston is a must! We loved the historic walking tour we took. It is a beautiful city! It was extremely charming and clean. There are many wonderful restaurants and lots of great shopping on King Street and the City Market. We stayed on King Street and walked everywhere that we went with the exception of one restaurant and that’s because it was raining.
