Fodor's "Wrought-iron railings, crown moldings, and decorative plasterwork speak of the elegance of 1924, when the Francis Marion was the largest hotel in the Carolinas." Full review
i
For the best view and quiet factor, go for the rooms that face King Street and are as close to the top floor as you can get.

"Still considered one of Charleston's grand dames, the historic Francis Marion Hotel has lost some of its luster." Full review
Star Service "At Marion Square, the Francis Marion is diagonally across the park from Embassy Suites and close to restaurants and shopping but a long walk north of the historic and market districts." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Location, location, location is the main draw of this historic hotel, set just across the street from Marion Square, home to the Charleston Farmers Market." Full review

Fodor's "Numerous windows give some of the guest rooms—filled with antique reproductions and Oriental rugs on the original hardwood floors—great views of busy King Street." Full review
Star Service "This inn, a charter member of Historic Hotels of America, offers slightly more interesting interiors and more spacious public areas than its neighbor and sibling, the Victoria House." Full review
Frommer's "The tiny entry to this three-story 1854 inn in the Historic District is deceiving because it opens into a brick courtyard with a fountain." Full review
