The retro, sunny mural helps but you might want to request an outward facing room.

Concierge "This charming 1763 building is one of 15 surviving homes owned by one of the 55 framers of the U.S. Constitution—and the only one converted into a hotel."
Fodor's "The building has a New Orleans–esque exterior with wrought-iron architectural details, and inside, parquet floors sit beneath 14-foot ceilings adorned with plaster moldings." Full review

Guests can indulge in spa services or enjoy fine dining at the sister property Wentworth Mansion, which unfortunately is farther than what most folks choose to stroll.
Michelin Guide "Inlaid parquet floors, canopied rice beds and carved plaster moldings mark the National Historic Landmark's restoration to its mid-18C appearance."
Zagat "Set in a 1763 home that's been designated a National Historic Landmark (George Washington once ate breakfast here), this B&B offers rooms and suites furnished with period antiques."
Afar Magazine "Rooms evoke the property's Colonial Era origins, with canopy beds, tilt-top tables, and brass fireplace screens." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The towering mansion and two carriage houses now offer 19 rooms, including palatial suites with canopy beds, 12-foot ceilings, original wood flooring, and Italian fireplaces." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A stylish hotel set in a historic Charleston townhouse where George Washington once stayed, and which has since survived earthquake, fire and a Union cannonball." Full review
Lonely Planet "Governor John Rutledge was one of four South Carolinian signers of the US Constitution." Full review
