8.8/10

The Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston is a wonderful place to stay, with its classic charm and comfortable rooms. The staff really made my experience special with their attentive service. The location is unbeatable, making it easy to explore the historic sites nearby. However, some of the room layouts can be a bit peculiar, and parking may be a challenge if you're driving.

The room was spacious and clean, offering a unique design with a view. However, the layout was a bit odd with a step up to the shower area, which took some getting used to.

Service
