We really enjoyed this historic property. It was quiet, but still close to shopping, restaurants, and the other historic attractions of Charleston. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We look forward to staying here again.

The John Rutledge House Inn was everything we expected and more! John, our Concierge, was helpful in every way. We could not have asked for a better experience. I would give the John Rutledge House Inn my highest recommendations to anyone who asked. We will plan to stay there again on future trips to Charleston.

The room was comfortable and decorated beautifully. The beds were amazing!! The breakfast was wonderful, however more daily choices, other than the daily special, would have been a bonus. Al the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again and definitely recommend John Rutledge House Inn.

The JR is a very special haven within the city. Rooms and public spaces are beautiful and the staff brings a sophisticated yet warm level of service to all. Shout out to Maurice and Elizabeth! Conveniently located for strolls to all areas of downtown Charleston and its many offerings. We LOVED our breakfasts and other thoughtful amenities.

The room was lovely--bright and clean and the beds were very comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and the courtyard very well-manicured and a nice place for a drink at night. The breakfast was included and delicious--egg-white omelettes, biscuits, fruit, sausage. The afternoon tea and evening drinks are nice touches as well.

The location is so good, not the noise of the crowds near the market area and close enough to go by foot and enjoy! The staff are friendly and ready to help and guide any excursion! I love the decroation, the tea-party in the ball room and the beautiful gardens. Thank you for a pleasant trip.

Beautifully kept mansion in the heart of the historic district. Easy walking to shopping, sightseeing and restaurants. Parking is available on site. The staff was great and went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Breakfast was amazing and it was very relaxing to have evening cordials in the ballroom. Only amenity we did not take advantage of was afternoon tea.

People were extremely cordial and helpful. We loved the afternoon cocktail time. Also breakfast was either served in the upstairs parlor, in your room or back patio and was always freshly prepared. Proximity of walking distances was very manageable. Overall we had a wonderful time. Definately would go back.
