Review of Francis Marion Hotel

My stay was just ok.

My stay was just ok.
The good - the hotel is in a great location in historic Charleston. You are in walking distance to most things. The common areas are beautiful and there is an on-site restaurant, room service & a Starbucks. The staff is friendly.
The bad - My room. I booked a one night stay through an online deal for a "run of the house" room. And boy that it was I received. The room was small, dark, old & stuffy. I had 1 small bed. The bathroom was so tiny I practically had to sit on the toilet to take a shower. There were things in the room that needed to be updated and repaired. I had to sleep with window open because it was like a sweat box and the HVAC was not working properly. I'm sure there are better rooms in the hotel but ours was totally unimpressive. I would not book again unless I knew I would be in a better room.
