We loved Shem Creek Inn, perfect location, clean, comfortable beds, staff was awesome, very helpful. We will stay there again, easy drive to the beach. You can walk to several restaurants. It gives you the feel of what makes Charleston such a special place to visit.

This is a great hotel in an awesome location! Love that you can walk to several really good restaurants and easily get to downtown Charleston and the surrounding islands. And the dock that you can walk around the pier and marsh was wonderful. A great way to see the sunset too! They have a grab n go breakfast included with some gluten free options, which was great! Much better than the poor quality hot breakfast you get at some places. Hotel was clean and updated with a nice pool and an attacked bar and restaurant. Staff were very helpful. My only complaint is that our room was right next to the lobby and elevator which was a little loud at night when people would return and were not considerate of people who may be sleeping.

Love the hotel and the area. Lots of restaurants, and clubs. Right on the creek with nice boats and great views. The room was nice, good shower, comfortable beds. Nitpicking thoughts- the room needs more electrical outlets. The elevator is scary. Overall still excellent.

This hotel gets a 10/10 for location and charm. Staff were very friendly and our room was quaint and comfortable. This would have been a 5 star if not for two things. One - some extremely loud truck (maybe a trash truck) was outside our room just before 6am both mornings. Two - although it didn’t exactly bother us, birds were in the wall air unit making noise both mornings. Not exactly pleasant to wake up to. I would stay at this hotel again, but I would spend the extra money and avoid the marsh side
