The hotel has a real character and sense of coziness that you just don’t expect or find very easily. First, Marion is a small, but historic town off of Interstate 81 and the General Francis Marion is right in the middle of a small fairly well preserved down town. It is just a few miles off the interstate. The General Marion is small, with period charm, the rooms, while not gigantic are well appointed, clean and comfortable. Loved the lobby, the staff and the Swamp Fox restaurant (that was General Marion’s nickname). We’ll definitely be back again!
