The Francis Marion Hotel

The Francis Marion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"My friends and I came on a girls trip. This hotel was incredibly affordable compared to the other hotels around the area. It is right by some of the best shopping on King Street, only about a 12 to 15 minute walk to some of the best restaurants and market. It was extremely safe and very conveniently located. Would highly recommend. It was also very quaint and beautiful inside. The rooms were spacious (besides the bathroom) and it had all the amenities you could need. "
