We've stayed at Shem Creek several times and have always had a great stay. It's so convenient to Charleston and the restored area, without the high rates of the district and all it's parking problems. The rooms overlook the marsh or the creek witch is home to the shrimp boat fleet. It's so pleasant to sit on the deck and... More

I have been staying at the Shem Creek Inn for the last three years during the Lowcountry Oyster Festival and have had a great time each visit. The rooms are great and the Inn is in a prefect location, Charleston is just ten minutes away. There are great restaurants very close by. The staff was great as well. Desean, one... More

This is a unique place to stay. How often to you get to stay at a motel and watch shrimp boats and dolphin going by and have great places to eat and drink within walking distance of your room. The rooms have recently been remodeled and have a microwave and small fridge. The only thing that was a problem for... More

This motor inn is located a short and easy drive outside of Charleston. It is on Shem Creek, which has a newly built boardwalk park over the marsh with views of shrimp boats along the way. Next door is a colorful restuarant and bar. Did not use the balcony much because our room was near the noise from the air... More

After staying downtown Charleston for several nights, we came here. We stayed creek side and loved watching the dolphins swim up and down the creek. Rooms are dated, simple, but clean. Breakfast was very limited and serving area very small. More

Thank you for your review and we are happy that you enjoyed your stay and the dolphin activity. Our free breakfast is a limited one due to limited area for service and seating but there are two restaurants within one mile of us that offer full breakfast for those that desire more variety. More

We booked this hotel thru Easy Click Travel and when we arrived they had over booked the hotel and people who booked thru third parties where told they had to go elsewhere, Easy Click said they had already paid for the rooms since everyone had already paid for them but I guess Shem Creek got a better rate outside the...

We are very sorry about the events and overbooking situation that surrounded this guest's accommodations. There were issues with our logins and capabilities of closing out this site when we were reaching full occupancy. By the time we resolved the issues, a few overbookings occurred. We attempted to contact the guests that were affected by the overbookings though because it... More

We stayed for two nights in late October and couldn't have wished for a better location. The room was big, and the balcony just perfect for watching the boats and the people on the other side of the creek having a grand time. It felt both like a hotel and very homey at the same time! The staff was polite... More

I had the best time here for the second time around!!!!! It was about $100 a night this time of year. My friends and I feel it's like coming home when we come here. The hotel is like a fine bottle of wine, relaxing and well aged. We enjoyed hanging out on the balcony for our 5pm cocktail time and... More
