We stayed at the Inn for seven heavenly days, it seemed so far removed from the hectic pace in Washington, DC and Paris, France - 1 American and 2 French Ladies. Once we got out of the cab, we walked to almost everything as the Inn is centrally located in the historic district. If you don't wish to walk, call... more

I loved the Inn. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable and the Southern charm and hospitality was five stars. Wonderful, fresh breakfast. I will return. more

The John Rutledge House on Broad Street in beautiful Charleston was a delight to behold. Entering up one side of the double entry staircase to the magnificient front door, I knew at once that this lovely B & B was setting the tone for what was a wonderful vacation in Charleston. The staff and service were impecable. The room was... more

We would definitely return and plan... more

I've stayed at places for half the price that were double the worth. Not homey in the slightest, the other guests were rude and loud, and the breakfast was inadequate. The best thing about the... more

We just returned from a 3 night stay in the beautiful John Rutledge Inn. Our suite was more than spacious and filled with amenities; the most memorable were the two gas fireplaces, two plasma televisions, canopy bed with excellent mattress and more pillows than one can imagine. In late afternoon, the Inn serves tea, sherry and port with elegant appetizers.... more
