If you're looking for perfectly appointed, quiet & restful, this is it. A quick walk to dining & entertainment. Breakfast is basic and self serve but high quality. Everything is tidy and super clean but warm and welcoming. It's obvious that the friendly and helpful staff works hard to make sure all of the details are addressed. We will definitely stay here again!

Great location in the center of small town. Free parking behind hotel. Bar two blocks away had good food and drink.
Only issue was the very slippery tub/shower. We never needed an accessible room before,but recommend it if you're not as agile as you once were.

We appreciate history and the importance of the General Francis Marion Hotel to the city of Marion. The restoration of the 1927 building was very well done and our room clean, spacious and comfortable, especially the bed was comfortable. The only negative was trying to figure out how to use the two remotes to watch the television. That was a minor issue.
