General Francis Marion Hotel - Marion, Virginia

Historic hotel in a central part of town with free parking. Has a nice American restaurant on first floor. Would recommend as a stopover place for long road trips. I needed no prior recommendation. Just walked in and got a room. Receptionist was very accommodating and helpful. Price was reasonable. Room was very clean with subtle romantic vibes. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was spacious. Breakfast was self-serve but good quality with waffles, bagels, yogurt, cereals, fruit, muffins and breakfast sandwiches. I appreciated the multiple creamer options for the coffee including caramel and hazelnut. Mountain side view was a sweet bonus.

We booked this hotel as part of our roadtrip and needed a stay before driving to the smokey mountains. It's a nice, older hotel, but had definitely his charm. Rooms were ok, breakfast was included but very basic. The hotel also provides parking and is in a good location.

This was a great stay. Not fancy....but it is if you can appreciate the historical aspect. My room was immaculate. So cute and comfy. I would choose this over a Marriott branded hotel every single time. What a gem!

The key is so neat!! I love the vibe. We stayed one night and got there around 8-9 at night. The town was pretty much shut down but the receptionist was so nice and helpful!

Minutes off I-81, and a welcome escape from the forgettable highway exit hotel chains, the GFMH is a charming historic hotel. Restaurants & bars are within a short walk. Free breakfast & parking. Surrounded by beautiful Virginia mountains, we were pleased with our choice to stay here and would absolutely recommend this hotel to others.

Avoid this hotel! It is managed by someone who lacks basic customer management skills AND is possibly a swindler. I booked two rooms to attend an event next door. The event was abruptly canceled with little warning and I called to cancel the rooms as quickly as possible. I was ONE HOUR past the deadline and was refused any type of refund. The outrageous part was that I was charged a third time and while I was eventually refunded that one charge, it was with obvious reluctance and ill grace. I travel frequently and am astonished that anyone would run a customer focused business this way. I made every attempt to resolve this with the manager and the owner, even involving the manager of the theater next door, before posting.

It is a really cool hotel to go look at. It has fun architecture. Because it's older, the soundproofing between rooms isn't as great as you might want. They give complementary coffee/tea in their lobby which is really nice on cold days.

Edit after the response: The offer to change my reservation was limited to a month or two out and that didn't work for me. Again, I was refused a refund when it was not my decision to cancel and I was only ONE HOUR past the deadline. This was followed by an offer that was borderline insulting in the limitations.
