My wife and I had the best time here. The breakfast (included) was excellent, tea time snacks were excellent. Service was excellent. The room was great, we stayed in the carriage house and loved it. It was worth every penny.

What a wonderful place to stay. A very lovely and super clean place to stay. The history was so interesting. All staff members were so kind and friendly. Would definitely stay here again when we visit Charleston. The location is just right close to everything to make it walkable to many of the sites.

I visited Charleston, SC as a destination vacation to celebrate my birthday. I chose the John Rutledge House Inn as my hotel due to its fine reputation and proximity to downtown ameity. I got so much more than I expected. The service staff was friendly and attentive. The occomdations were clasic and comfortable. I was a sort walk from the battery, the market and so much dining & entertainment. I highly reccommend this location for any upscale Charleston excusion. Brian T.

Can’t say enough great things. Staff was accommodating, helpful and welcoming. Location can’t be beat. Breakfast every day was complete perfection. This is an old inn & decor is period-specific. We loved it. Bathroom was modern and had amazing water pressure which for the age of the inn was a nice surprise!

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The property was beautiful and in a historic area of town. We had breakfast served in our room every morning which was a treat! They offer delicious treats for afternoon tea. The concierges are so helpful - from fixing the tv sound, to getting more pillows and advising how to get to dinner. We stayed in the carriage house which worked well for us. Minimal stairs!

We have been Rutledge House devotees for many years. Love where it is(parking!), the people(lots of “regulars” who have actually become friends) and a lovely place. We always feel comfortable and well taken care of and breakfast isn’t bad either!
