We recently stayed at the John Rutledge B&B just before New Years. First impression was nice, staff was absolutely great and helpful. Upon arriving, we were offered snacks and tea eventhough the hour was getting past their normal time. We were shown to our room, on the top floor of the main building which was okay but not what I... more

It is hard to describe a place such as the JRH. Upon arriving, we went up to the second floor and enjoyed the library. There was brandy there. I'd never had brandy before, but I tried it and it was good. With my glass of brandy, I walked over to the balcony to look at the city just as it... more

Just returned from three days at the John Rutledge Inn. It was a college roommate reunion and all four of us were delighted. Our rooms in the carriage house were lovely and the service was above and beyond. Elizabeth and Katie were wonderful at taking care of our every need. They made reservations for us, called cabs and removed a... more

My husband and I visit Charleston each year for our anniversary and do not stay in the same place twice. We may break that tradition for the John Rutledge House. We loved it and may have to come back next year. The house itself is gorgeous and located in the historic district, walking distance to everything. The staff was quite... more

We had the great fortune to stay at the John Rutledge House Inn from August 10 through August 14 of this year (2007). My wife and I were treated to the stay by our son as a gift for our 50th wedding anniversary. The entire staff at the Inn was courteous and went out of their way to be helpful... more

We stayed one night at the John Rutledge and would come again. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It was a rainy day, so we needed lots of advice on what to do and where to go. They went out of their way to help and even lent us an umbrella so we weren't cooped up inside. A great... more

I stayed in room 16, on the first floor of one of their two "carriage houses". I was concerned at first about being on floor one, but heard no noise from above at all. Things I loved about my room: *The huge king sized 4 poster canopied Tempurpedic bed *The size of the room, very spacious, a breakfast table with... more
