General Francis Marion Hotel

I have stayed here multiple times while on business. Always made to feel welcome. Our most recent visit, we were provided a dorm refrigerator simply by asking for it. The Speakeasy is great for dinner and the free breakfast is great.

I love this quaint historic hotel. This is truly a gem in downtown Marion for those who would like a boutique hotel experience without the high dollar cost. Very well done and comfortable rooms. Step downstairs to the restaurant for a nice glass of wine and or dinner. I had the shepherds pie with lamb and it was absolutely wonderful.

I’ve stayed here twice. Very clean and accommodating. Also attentive to bikers. Rates are reasonable and they have a bar and restaurant inside the hotel. That also provide a small breakfast included in the rate.
Very friendly staff as well, especially Amy!

We were traveling south and looking for a place to stop. Based on the good reviews, I called about 5 to see if they had rooms available for tonight. Amy at the desk said yes, and gave me the rates. I explained that we were traveling and not sure how far we would make it. I called back a bit later to hold the room and gave her payment info. I even called again a few hours later to make sure a later check in time was ok. When we arrived, she had booked the room for the next night and could only give us a more expensive room for tonight. She did not apologize or take ownership for the situation or do anything to try to make it better other than to offer that «There’s a Comfort Inn a few towns over.» She even seemed to ignore the fact that I remembered her name from the phone (since we spoke 3 times) and knew she was the one who had taken the wrong reservation. Let’s hope my card isn’t already being charged.

Fantastic boutique hotel. Front desk service was excellent. Price very reasonable. Renovation is first class.

A charming restored hotel just a mile off I-​81. Clean and reasonably priced with a good breakfast included. Much better experience than the chain hotels. Highly recommend.

Room is a little small but bathroom is very roomy, nice and clean.

Great Hotel! Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and the bathroom was awesome. Wireless was a bit spotty, but that wasn’t the end of the world. Building had some great character. Hope to stop in again.

The first of hotel of our winter cross country road trip. Why Southern Virginia you ask? It’s home to Town House Restaurant, which is a destination restaurant if I’ve ever seen one. There are no hotel options in the town where the restaurant resides, so we opted for the town of Marion 10 miles away.
The hotel is situated in downtown Marion, which is a cute little town with lots of charm. The hotel itself is historic and has been well maintained with just enough boutique historic feel, yet modern amenities. The hardwood floors are a nice touch, but after hearing the click, click, clicking of our neighbors, I decided that maybe a bunch of area rugs would be well served. Our bathroom was HUGE and the four poster bed was sweet. The free breakfast in the restaurant off the lobby leaves a bit to be desired, but hey, it’s a free hotel breakfast, so expectations shouldn’t be too high.
If you find yourself wanting to dine at the Town House Restaurant (and every food-​obsessed person needs to dine here) the General Francis Marion Hotel is a great option.

Old school hotel with charm. My girlfriend and I stayed there for 1 night to eat at Town House restaurant (see review). The hotel has a lot of history and is very small and charming. The hallway to our room smelled a little musty but not so much so to be awful.
The room was small but nice, the bathroom was quite big and very nice. The bed was old fashion springs and the sheets were a little rough but overall pretty comfy. Its a great place to stay for going to Town House or just stop through for a night. Prices pretty good for what it is. Overall I recommend this hotel
