Liked: Staff & service
Room had a fantastic view but is in need pf basic cosmetic updates. Room with 1 queen is very small and bathroom was impossibility small (4x5), with a minuscule toilet and vanity. The lobby is beautiful and classy, which is why we chose the hotel. Too bad the coffee only comes in paper cups.

Property was nice and restaurant very good, but the service was so bad that I probably won’t stay again! Cleaning service missed us the first day and forgot to give us enough towels or any soap when they did come…and left a dirty washcloth with cleaning solution on it. Also, there wasn’t enough bellhop or valet staff, and we often waited over 15 mins to get our car—and upon check in and out the bell hop never showed, so we just brought down our own bags. What a bummer.

The Francis Marion was a nice hotel to stay because of the vicinity where we needed to be for the performance we were going to see. The staff was helpful and kind. The room was adequate and had everything we needed. There was a wonderful smell when you entered the lobby that was pleasing.
