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 😊.

Clean, quiet and easy.

On my trip to Marion, I met family members at a campsite at Hungry Mother State Park. It was lovely to be able to come to the General Francis Marion hotel in the evening to sleep. The hotel room was very clean, well-supplied and quiet. I loved the spacious bathroom and the big bed. As a single woman, I also appreciated the atmosphere of safety it provided. I loved the architecture and the history of the building, as it blended old new and features. I used to go to Marion as a child, so it was wonderful to see that this piece of Virginia history is still vibrant and active.

Historically beautiful and convenient

The hotel is in a super convenient location: restaurants, gift stores, and entertainment are all within walking distance. The employees were very professional and nice. They were all smiling which automatically sets a friendly tone. The rooms are decorated nicely. The room was odor free. I felt safe and the parking is free. I only had two things that weren’t quite 5-star in my opinion; the hot water came on the first night but the next morning, I stood at the foot of the shower for 4 minutes and it never got hot. It was barely lukewarm and I couldn’t take a shower. Luckily we were checking out that day so I knew I could take a shower once I got home. I’m assuming the plumbing is old since it’s a beautiful historic building. The only other thing I would change would be the bed. It was a spring mattress and it squeaked and was a little uncomfortable but that’s just me. You may like spring mattresses. I personally like a soft plush memory foam so that one is just personal preference and not necessarily a bad thing. The free breakfast was just fine: waffles, bagels, oatmeal, fruit, milk, orange juice and microwaveable sausage croissants. Plenty to eat.

No cookie-cutter hotel, this one!

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.
