"A somber five-story 1991 building adjacent to the historic City Market, the Doubletree offers family-friendly suites instead of rooms."

"Some may find the decor somewhat dated and stuffy, but the hotel has a more luxurious feel than other chain hotels, especially in the lobby, which is bedecked with chandeliers and high archways."

"At Marion Square, the Francis Marion is diagonally across the park from Embassy Suites and close to restaurants and shopping but a long walk north of the historic and market districts."
