Why We Love This Deal

Charleston currently wears the crown as the best small city in the U.S. according to Condé Nast Traveler's 2023 Readers' Choice Awards. Situated within the heart of the city is this 1920s landmark hotel that recent guests can't seem to get enough of. In fact, they gave the Francis Marion a near perfect score thanks to its exceptional service, delicious breakfast buffet and convenient location (walking distance to many nearby sights).

This is a grand older hotel uptown from the market area, but easily walkable. Wonderful staff, a great bar with a piano player several evenings each week. This hotel will appeal more to adults than millennials and Gen-Z - it just barely tips its hat to technology, but goes for comfort.

The Swamp Fox restaurant had nice buffet.
Other Comments
Very old dated room, needs refurbishing. Bathroom barely big enough to turn around in. Mold around tub. Travelzoo should look at rooms before recommending to customers- does not fit description given on travel deal we got. Paid $189 a night- very overpriced- maybe $80 a night would suit.

Only issues we had were that the room was missing a shower curtain and they failed to tell us that the spa needed sap certificate to get credit

This hotel is in a good location. The building and lobby are charming. Staff and valet were helpful. We were first given a room on 4/F at check-in. It was a dark room that looked out right to the roof top of next building. We then requested to change to another room and were given one at higher floor (6/F) that has a more open view. Perhaps this is an old building, at night we could hear the voice of the gentleman in the room next to us. One highlight is a server at the Swamp Fox restaurant named Sylvie. She is super nice and made our breakfast experience very enjoyable.
Other Comments
The breakfast at the Swamp Fox restaurant was good and had plenty of choices. They met my husband's special requests. We also appreciate Sylvie's attentive services and her personality. She served us on the first morning's breakfast of our stay. When she was not there on the second morning as it was her day off, the service was fine but could not be compared.
