Good but not great.
Place was clean. Plumbing was perfect. Rooms don't live up to the pictures and were a bit smaller than expected. TVs are small and old.

Not perfect this time
The staff was fantastic as aways. Only complaint was that the AC fan in my room was so loud that I couldn't sleep. Needed to stay 1 more night and asked for different room which was great

Super nice staff, so friendly! Was in Marion for a graduation. One night we were leaving the hotel, it was pouring. I asked the front desk for an umbrella and the sweet lady at the desk found me one. Thank you!!

No USBs
Historic hotel was clean and comfortable, but a bit too historic. There were no USB outlets of any kind and few electrical outlets which limited the ability to charge various electronic devices.

The General Francis Marion is a wonderful old hotel restored to its former glory. Right in the middle of downtown Marion, within walking distance of several restaurants and shops.
