“Francis Marion's location pull”
Francis Marion Hotel is a repeat-stay Charleston landmark — clean pretty rooms, an in-hotel Starbucks guests love, reasonable twenty-dollar day parking with re-entry, friendly courteous valets and housekeepers, and an ideal central location for shopping and sightseeing. Caveats though: a strong dissent says nothing beyond the location and a diligent parking attendant recommended it.
