"The John Rutledge House Inn was everything we had expected and a little more! From the gracious welcome by the concierge, to our room which was redolent of more gracious times, here was history without any disadvantages! We felt we were in a welcoming private home and half expected to see John Rutledge himself offering us afternoon tea."
