Cozy Accommodations

I stayed in a room at the Francis Marion Hotel during my trip, and I was impressed by the thoughtful layout and comfortable furnishings. The partial views from my window added a nice touch and made the cozy room feel even more inviting.

Charming Yet Quirky

During my recent visit, I found the bathroom in my room to have a charming vintage style, reminiscent of European hotels. Although small, it was well-maintained and offered a unique experience that added character to my stay.

Delicious Breakfast

The breakfast buffet at the hotel was a good surprise. There were numerous options available that catered to various tastes, and the flavors of the Belgian waffles I ordered were simply excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better start to my day!

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.
