The Shem Creek Inn receives mixed reviews, with strong praise for its location and friendly staff, particularly at the front desk. However, recurring concerns include inconsistent service, cleanliness issues like mold, and a lack of maintenance. Recent positive feedback highlights the views and convenient access to local restaurants and activities.
I hate having to give reviews that aren't good but i am really disappointed in the service for our stay. I have stayed here before and had a great experience but this was overall not great. We checked in and the front desk associates were never very nice. Acted like they didn't want to be there and when asked for help they gave us a "well that sucks" look. We had the sign on our door EVERY single day to be serviced and they did not service our room once. Our trash was overflowing as well, and we kept asking where to put it and they said "we will get to it." We ran out of towels and asked around and all they said was "we are out" not when we would get new ones. So after not having fresh towels for 2 days we finally found some in the cabinet downstairs. Our bathroom had so much mold in it.. on the ceilings, on the walls, on the floor. The only thing that made this hotel nice is the location but for how much i paid for this resort i am very upset with the service i received. The parking situation was also awful as it was not enforced enough and we were left always having to spend 30+ mins getting a parking spot.
Lovely location on Shem Creek. Second time staying (Creek side to watch the boats, kayaks etc, though a bit lively at night across at the restaurants). Convenient to beaches, dining & historic Charleston. Staff are very friendly, clean rooms and very safe. Staff make you feel very welcome and hospitable and someone is always available if you need anything. A big shout out to Doug, at the front desk. He always goes above and beyond to make our stay feel welcome and great! We enjoy chatting with him when we visit. We will definitely be back again!
Great place to stay and very friendly staff!! Rooms and hotel are clean at all times. Always greeting guest when they come and go and offering food and entertainment suggestions. Great location near plenty of food choices, creek front drinks or just a beautiful evening walk on the boardwalk watching for dolphins. My family will definitely be back to here in the future!
The Shem Creek Inn is a great place to stay! We have be staying there for the past 3 years and it does not disappoint. Great views, great staff and perfect location! It is very family friendly and there are so many restaurants/bars in walking distance! The hotel and rooms are well kept, clean and updated!
Stayed here for 5 nights and loved it! Perfect location and beautiful views! Very quick drive to everything such as downtown Charleston and beaches. All surrounding restaurants right there at the docks are a fun vibe at night & I really enjoyed walking over to the Palmetto Breeze right behind the hotel and going on a sunset cruise. Rooms were very clean & beautiful views on the creek side. I was never kept up at night from any of the crowds at the restaurants which was nice. Loved taking morning walks along the pier / wooden walkway through the marsh. Didn't go to the pool or have any of their complimentary breakfast, but looked nice! Also good amount of parking with easy access to the elevator. Would definitely recommend if you don't want to stay downtown or right on the beach. Also Uber rides from here to Sullivans Island or Downtown were only about $16.
I used to travel for business a lot and I would stay at Shem Creek Inn. The location is incredible and the best feature of the hotel. The hotel needs some updating. During my recent stay the shower door was missing its handles. In the room there where four areas where a portion of the ceil had been painted. The staff is great, location is great, but this hotel needs some serious updates and repairs.
Overall a very good place to stay. Basic, take back to your room breakfast, Staff was very friendly and helpful. At our request, we were graciously given a room with a better view. The location overlooking the marsh and shrimp boat docks was great. Although there are several bars, pubs, and restaurants around the harbor/dock area, we were never bothered by noise. Great boardwalks around the marsh and harbor. Be aware that Mt Pleasant/Shem Creek area has lots of traffic as does most of the Charleston area. Overall I give Shem Creek Inn a grade A.
Enjoyed a one night stay in the center of EVERYTHING Shemm Creek area has to offer. Comfortable beds, good linens and pillows. We were there on a very busy night but the room was suprisingly quiet! Clean and well-tended pool area. Keurig coffee in the room, and complimentary breakfast in the lobby. You can't beat this location! Its convenient to everything and offers fantastic views.
Love this place! I’ve been here several times. Rooms are nice, staff are so down to earth and friendly. Steps away from nature and beauty. I saw so many dolphins, pelicans, fish always jumping. The little bar down stairs is so convenient and has good food. Walk across the bridge and there is a restaurant or bar for everyone. I tried them all.
My wife and I stayed at the Shem Creek Inn for a weekend as we were running the Cooper River Bridge Run. We stayed in the room facing the creek and on the end of the hall. The inn is a little dated and could use some TLC but our mattress was very comfortable and the shower was hot and spacious. We stayed on a Friday night and Saturday night. I was concerned that the local bars and restaurants would keep us up. But while we could definitely hear the music we both enjoyed our sleep. I chose the inn due to its proximity to the starting line of the race and I figured we could watch the boats and activity on the creek. Unfortunately the weather was a little cool so we didn’t get to spend more time on the balcony or the boardwalk. The inn does offer a grab and go breakfast, which is assorted juices and coffee. Mostly breakfast bars, yogurt and some breakfast sandwiches. The parking is very limited. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Our second night, we walked over the bridge to the restaurant on the other side of the creek. Super convenient. For the price, I don’t think we would stay here again. It was a good experience but not one that we would “run it back” as the kids say.
