Fodor's Expert Review John Rutledge House Inn

116 Broad St., Charleston, South Carolina, 29401, USA

The New Orleans–esque exterior of this National Historic Landmark (the former residence of politician and slaveholder John Rutledge) has wrought-iron architectural details, and inside, parquet floors sit beneath 14-foot ceilings adorned with plaster moldings. Families gravitate to the privacy and quiet of the two carriage houses overlooking the shaded brick courtyard. Breakfast—continental as well as at least one hot item—can be taken in the ballroom, the elegant but simple courtyard, or your room.

PROS

  • incredibly comfortable Tempur-Pedic mattresses
  • afternoon tea in the former ballroom
  • carriage house rooms have privacy and quiet

CONS

  • you can hear some street and kitchen noise in the first-floor rooms
  • the two carriage houses are not as grand as the main house
  • limited restaurants within a five-minute walk
