My husband and I recently stayed at this lovely old house. We were in the John Rutledge bedroom suite and it was so worth the cost. History comes alive. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious. We chose to have them served in our room. They arrived on time and piping hot. The cheesy grits and shrimp was a favorite. The afternoon... more

We went to Charleston in Oct. 09 and wanted to stay in someplace interesting, possibly historic and centrally located. The Rutledge was great for all that. We stayed in the George Washington Suite and only wished we could have stayed longer. The staff arranged for us to have dinner at the Circa 1886 restaurant. I highly recommend that place for... more

My husband and I arrived at the John Rutledge house after driving for 12 hours through the most miserable torrential post hurricane weather imaginable. What a welcome relief it was to step into such luxurious and historic ambiance. Our room was literally larger than the entire ground floor of our house- an average size cape cod. There were comfy robes,... more

We stayed here twice in one week...the first time was actually much better a visit, the second left me a bit underwhelmed. The property is very nice and historic, very well maintained and charming for a home this age rich with history, but....our room in the carriage house our second stay was grubby, admittedly it was a pet room, but... more

We arrived in Charleston after spending the night in Savannah at the Marshall House (wonderful experience), so we had high hopes for the Rutledge House. We stayed in one of the rooms in one of the Carriage Houses. The Rutledge House is more of a B&B than the Marshall House, and has far fewer rooms but we couldn't help but... more

The staff at the John Rutledge House Inn was so accommodating and hospitable. The food was delicious. The Tempur-Pedic mattress in our room provided us with the best sleep that we have had in years. We left for home feeling revitalized and renewed...We highly recommend this Inn. more

When scheduling a trip to visit Charleston I was given the task of finding overnight accommodations and I booked two rooms in the carriage house, John Rutledge House. Upon arrival we had been upgraded to two rooms in the main house. This was a great stay - the rooms are large and very comfortable. The bed had a tempur pedic... more

We stayed here for our anniversary weekend. It was a great location and we were able to walk to everything. Many other places really nickle & dime you- not here- wireless internet, bottled water, breakfast and afternoon refreshments, all included. The staff was helpful, attentive and very friendly. We would absolutely stay here again if we make it back to... more

The inn has only nineteen rooms, in the house and in the carriage houses behind, and all are in keeping with the era of its being built. The lovely courtyard separates all three buildings. The staff is well-trained, and knowledgable of restaurants, the historic district, and transportation. (We were there to celebrate my 75th birthday and the concierge du jour... more
