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.
We enjoyed a wonderful 4 day stay at the Rutledge House. The room was spacious, the staff very helpful, and the breakfast’s were delicious. The location is also ideal for exploring Charleston and with almost all sites, shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommended!
