My wife and I just spent our second weekend at the John Rutledge house. Our first visit was 15 years ago. Both times our experience was outstanding. This time our room was in the Cooper Carriage House. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was very nice, especially the memory foam mattress. We had a fabulous breakfast delivered... More

The best B&B we've ever stayed in, and we're so glad we chose to stay here for our honeymoon. We stayed in one of the mini-suites on the top floor, and enjoyed our huge and comfy bed, whirlpool tub, and the best shower ever. Poster bed had the most comfy mattress and pillows of any hotel/b&b (we actually just ordered... More

Great room in the carriage house. Worked out quite well since we travel w a dog. They even provide a nice welcome package for your pooch! The building and courtyard very nice, and the staff were great. The afternoon tea was nice and the morning breakfast offers quite a variety. The grits were some of the best we have ever... More

The staff was exceptionally welcoming and helpful from making the initial booking, accommodating dietary special requests to making reservations for dinner and a city walking tour our first day. We loved the option of having our breakfast served in our room, on the patio or in the ballroom. The turn down service included a small card each night with an... More

I would not stay here again, ever! We stayed in the carriage house which probably would have been fine under normal circumstances but was not convenient to the main house...The common area for eating breakfast or having afternoon tea was not very accomodating, It had a very 'hotel" like atmosphere which is fine if that is what you are looking...

My husband and I recently spent four nights at the John Rutledge House Inn. This was our first real visit to the South (not counting Disney World!), so we wanted to have the experience of staying in a historic building. We stayed in the Elizabeth Grimke room on the second floor. It was a huge room. Our room was right... More

My wife and I spent Wed - Sat at the John Rutledge House Inn - we are from N.H. and this was our first visit to Charleston. What a wonderful inn -we stayed in the carriage house and from the moment we arrived, the concierges and support staff were extremely welcoming. The room was spacious and we loved the Tempurpedic...

It's a great place for dogs and that may be its major virtue. The building is tired and not what one would expect at $300+ per night. Although the staff is friendly and attempt to be helpful there is not much they can do with air conditioning that does not work, rooms that need updating and refurbishing--especially bathrooms, creaky floors,...

John Rutledge House is quite a unique place to stay in Charleston and I strongly recommend it for couples. The prime location on Broad Street right next to St. John's Cathederal is fairly central, placing you within walking distance of the majority of the historic sections of Charleston. But be sure to wear comfortable shoes and for some things you... More
