The hotel has a charming, historic ambiance that adds to the overall experience. The location is fantastic, with easy access to many attractions and restaurants right around the corner. However, some rooms feel a bit dated and smaller than expected, which may not be ideal for all guests. The dining options could use some improvement to elevate the stay further.

My stay at The Francis Marion was a delightful experience. The hotel exudes a vintage charm with its beautiful historic ambiance, and I absolutely loved my spacious room that even had a view of Marion Park. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make my stay memorable. While the dining options at Swamp Fox were good, I felt there could be a bit more variety. Overall, it was a fantastic place to unwind, with minor drawbacks in the dining experience.
