This is our new favorite place to stay in Charleston! We have been going to Charleston for many, many years, and realy enjoyed our stay. The cook to order breakfast was delivered to our room each day. The staff was so nice and helpful, and the room was very spacious and the best shower my husband said he has had in years! Afternoon tea was such a nice break also. Very peaceful and relaxing setting.

Quiet location providing easy walking to most of the historic and museum sites as well as restaurants aplenty. Charleston provides a downtown area shuttle (DASH) if walking is an issue. Good included breakfast with many options. Friendly staff. The accommodations are not opulent but they're comfortable and enjoyable. The draw is the history of the building and the area. The other guests were all friendly. No one was there with a \"one percenter attitude.\"

Amazing place to stay in Charleston!

Hospitality at its absolute finest! The small details make a huge difference. You definitely feel like you’re in the upper echelon of society while staying there. Centrally located but yet you feel like you’re far away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Tea time was a nice treat in the afternoon and breakfast options are the same as a diner.

If I had to choose one word to describe my stay here, it would be phenomenal! From the moment I walked into this amazing, beautiful, historic home, I was greeted with joy by the staff, especially Nicole, who went above and beyond to make my stay delightful. The service was impeccable, with incredible breakfasts, Maria, the chef, made the best poached eggs I’ve ever had. The turn-down service and housekeeping were top-notch, room was spotless and dust free. Tea Time was also amazing, and they wonderfully accommodated my gluten-free needs, making the experience even more special. A special touch was the nightcap waiting for me upon my return in the evening, featuring amazing brandy, port, and sherry. The location is perfect for exploring the best points of interest in historic Charleston, all within walking distance. This has been the most exceptional experience I’ve ever had.

A Genuinely Historic Charleston Experience

Everything about The John Rutledge was very well done. We were even given an upgrade to a beautiful 2nd floor room in the main house. The house itself was carefully appointed in period furnishings, though thankfully the seated was contemporary & comfortable. Our only criticism was with the quality of breakfast, though pretty well prepared & mostly basic fare with not very \"memorable\" daily specials, and despite designating items + time, etc. the night before, it arrived often not fresh from the kitchen, entree items not exceedingly freshly prepared with several other side items sealed in plastic wrap. All ordered items arriving at the same time.

Magnificent Stay!

I had a magnificent stay at the John Rutledge House Inn. It was fascinating to dwell in the very place where a draft of the Constitution was written and George Washington dined. I felt transported back in time. The decor of the inn is beautiful. I loved admiring the antique furnishings. One of the highlights of my stay was having afternoon tea in the parlor. The presentation of the tea was lovely. I also savored the breakfast. The food was delicious. My room was in beautiful condition. There was ample space. It was tastefully decorated. The fireplace was so charming. Although you felt immersed in a historic setting, you had access to modern amenities such as a mini refrigerator and an in-room safe.
The staff attended to every detail. The concierge Jim was particularly helpful. He provided wonderful recommendations for exploring the city. I can't recommend the John Rutledge House Inn highly enough. It's truly worthy of praise.

Two Thumbs Up -- Rutledge B&B

The John Rutledge House was located a block away from the French District in lower Charleston. It is full of history and beautiful detailing. Just minutes away from fine dining (82 Queen, Husk, Poogan's Porch, etc.) and in the heart of the antiques and art galleries. Jim was an excellent concierge who worked with us prior to our arrival and during our stay.

Perfect location, luxurious historical inn.

Wonderful! Margo and the staff were absolutely top notch. Can't wait to stay there again - the inn itself has a history we weren't even aware of upon booking. Very luxurious, perfect location. Can highly recommend.

Historic and comfortable house in a great location

The concierge, Jim, was absolutely brilliant. He is a great front of house and a real asset to the place. The location was superb and it was great to walk everywhere in this beautiful, historical town. The history of the hotel is very interesting and tea and snacks are served between 4pm and 6pm daily which is a lovely detail as was the complimentary chilled water. Our room was really comfortable and well appointed. We just felt that some attention to detail was slightly lacking. Small points but we had breakfast on the terrace on metal chairs. No cushions offered. The table mats looked slightly grubby and the food itself was pretty basic. I mention this as you are paying the kind of rates you would pay in a top hotel and for the price we expected a really tasty breakfast and more attention to detail and service.

Beautiful Historic Home

Receptionist was as genteel and graceful as the restoration and conversion of this home to a bed and breakfast. I saw no elevators in the main house, and felt fortunate to stay upstairs in one of two two-story carriage houses in the back. Being separated by the courtyard and home from traffic on Broad Street, and being only one of two rooms on the second floor, my room was remarkably quiet.

The staff was large for such a small place, well trained gracious and efficient. Breakfast with many choices was served in the dining room, in one's room, or in the courtyard.

I would stay here again, and again!

Historic

Stayed in Ashley Carriage house. It's an original structure that was built with main house. Close to all the shops and restaraunts. If you enjoy history then this is the place for you.

The cook did not show off

They had a problem with the cook (did not show off) so the breakfast was very very slow
