We love staying at the Shem Creek Inn. We used to stay in downtown Charleston until we discovered the Shen Creek Inn. This was our fourth time staying here and I would not stay anywhere else. Is it fancy? No… the bathrooms are small and outdated, but the view on the creek side is awesome. You can walk to get dinner or drinks, take a stroll along the creek, and it’s a very easy short drive to downtown Charleston. It’s the midway point between the historical downtown Charleston and Sullivan’s Island. And watching the sunrise or sunset from your balcony is perfect.
