Top hotels in West Beach

The Francis Marion Hotel
Great old hotel in the heart of the city. Lots of shopping and restaurants. Valet parking was very handy and Uber was never more than 2 minutes from us. The staff were great and the Swamp Fox restaurant had delicious food and a wonderful server named Sylvie.

Nice clean hotel. It was convenient to have complimentary Nespresso coffee and fruits on each floor. The room service was taking care about the bed and the rest of the room every day. The location is very convenient.
