We reserved through Expedia for a "harbor view" room. When we got to the room, there was no view of anything but roof tops. When we brought this to the attention of the front desk, we were told that we only paid for a standard room. Beware that the savings you get on Expedia are not always going to be honored by the hotel. The Frances Marion itself was ok. Clean and a good sized room. Parking is in a separate building, so inconvenient, especially on a rainy day.

It is in an amazing area that is close to lots of shopping and dining options. The park is right across the street. There was a market Saturday morning. It’s so close to many historic tours and the market. The hotel lobby is beautiful. They offer water, coffee, and cookies daily. The rooms are historic in nature. Bathroom was small, but expected for an older building. Very clean though. Starbucks and restaurant on site which is a great option to have.
