“Lots of Character”

Smaller boutique hotel with lots of atmosphere and character. The complimentary breakfasts were delicious. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Great location -- close to parks, restaurants, shopping. Great experience.

“Five stars all around. So lovely.”

Wonderfully historic house that has been converted into a lovely bed and breakfast. We were given a room on the 3rd floor and it was a huge suite with 2 beds, lovely views out the windows, a fireplace ( which we didn't get to use because it was too hot outside, but it would be lovely on a winter or fall evening, I'm sure) a sitting desk, some chairs to lounge in, a wardrobe, a table and chairs for breakfast if you request it in your room, and then a bathroom off to the side. It was so charming, beautifully decorated, with tall ceilings and just a "step back in time." All employees were so kind and friendly. You could request a delicious breakfast in either your room, the courtyard or in the 2nd floor ballroom. Just a wonderful experience in a charming town.

“Lovely old house”

The first room we were assigned was in the basement of the main house and was rather loud because it was opposite the kitchen. We asked to be moved and they accommodated us immediately. Our new room was in one of the carriage houses and it was even bigger and nicer. The service was excellent, the Tempurpedic mattress was divine, the location was ideal, and the house -- especially the exterior -- was stunning. However, the bathroom was just a tad shabby. Overall we were very satisfied.

“Attentive Innkeeper”

One of the things that made for such a pleasant stay at the John Rutledge House Inn was the attentive help we got from the Innkeeper. Whether while she was serving tea for everyone upstairs, or just greeting you in the hallway, she was always ready to answer questions, make restaurant recommendations, or phone in dinner reservations. Very hospitable! Other than that, the hotel was charming, quiet, and very clean. We loved sitting out on the second-floor balcony during teatime, while enjoying the scrumptious appetizers and desserts sent over by a local restaurant.

“My new favorite hotel!”

We loved this hotel. We stayed in one of the carriage houses which looked out over a beautiful courtyard. The hotel was so close to everything we wanted to see, we were within walking distance of great shopping and superb eating!

“Great Inn”

Loved John Rutledge House. Best place we have ever stayed in Charleston.

“Great stay”

How incredible to sleep in a house built in 1763? The staff was totally professional, friendly, warm Southern hospitality, and more than helpful. My wife and I were more than pleased and the historic district is within walking distance.

“Best Hotel We Ever Stayed In”

This Bed and Breakfast was excellent. From the Breakfast in the morning to the location, it was tops. We stayed in the carriage house and it was large and extremely quiet. Great service from the staff. The manager found out my husband had the flu, within 5 minutes she had tea in our room. EXCELLENT SERVICE

“Charleston's Historic Charm”

The John Rutledge House Inn in historic Charleston was charming. I enjoyed having afternoon tea daily and the staff was wonderful too!

“Wonderful and Romantic in Charleston”

This rehabbed mansion makes you feel like the 19th century south - warm and hospitable. The room we stayed in was contemporary and really comfortable. Enjoy the Tempurpedic mattresses. Short walk to where everything is happening. And Charleston is great!
