This was amazing old hotel with a ton of history. It is in walking distance to a ton of shops and restaurants and in close proximity to multiple state parks and recreational areas. The staff was extremely accommodating with any request I had. Also, with its close proximity to US81, it makes for a great place to stay. I would highly recommend this location for a stay. Cheers!

Not handicap friendly

This is a beautiful old hotel, but it must be stated that this hotel is not handicap friendly hotel. If you have mobility issues i would not recommend staying here. The hotel sits on a street on an incline, but what's worse are the steps you're forced to climb to check in and get to your room. You literally have to lug your luggage up a flight of stairs. It was impossible for me. The front desk person serves as check in and bell hop. The beds and continental breakfast were underwhelming considering the room cost and high ratings. I personally would never stay here again.

Old building 1927 was ok = Carpet in halls dirty and shows lots of wear. Mattress was not comfortable, need to modify back entrance with a covered easy access handicap ramp. Need to let people know when reviewing rooms about access.

We loved the vibe of this historic hotel and its Swamp Fox Bar. We loved the nearby niche places to eat - The Wooden Pickle, Macado’s (pronounced macka-doos), and Sister’s Cafe. We were only in town for the weekend, but will stay there again for more sight seeing, dining, etc.

Very old hotel, very old carpet and facility. Very poor breakfast. Our room door has a gap which you could see outside. It was a joke. Very very old facility. Noisy AC.

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!!

Very helpful and friendly staff. Check in was easy, but we were initally assigned and given key to a room that had not been made up (used towles on bathroom floor and unmade bed). Hotel staff immediately gave us a diff room (1st was 2 beds, 2nd was queen and saved us $150). The new room was spotless, comfy bed and pillows, spacious. Hotel ataff gave recommendations for dinner and checked with us when we returned. Selection of tea packets in front lobby.. one night, late, i retrieved a packet andnfilled cup with water (which had become cold) and staff immediately asked if they could make me hot water.

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!

Unfortunately, I never got to experience the property. I had an unexpected mechanical breakdown and was not able to make it to the hotel. The one star, as it is, does not represent the property. it is representative of my day.

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.

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.

The room was wonderful, with a queen bed, microwave, fridge, Main St view, and large bathroom. Beautifully appointed room and common areas. Staff were nice, but they didn't give the warm and fuzzies or even present a business approach, so there are opportunities for improvement there, especially considering the cost, the attached restaurant, and the hotel's reputation. The free breakfast left a lot to be desired (a make-your-own wafflemaker, dry cereal x 2 kinds, coffee, bottled juice/milk, bagels separated into ziplock bags, individually prepackaged assorted muffins, yogurt, and gas station style microwaveable biscuits with meat). Parking was good, with the town's garage immediately adjacent. Security was also good, with multiple cameras monitored by the desk clerk and a keycard for entry after dark. We will absolutely come again, but next time we will go to Sur 81 for breakfast 😊.
