This was a pleasant surprise as we visited charleston and found that mount pleasant was the place to be. This hotel is 10 mins from the beach the pool is top notch and the access to the docks is more than cool. My wife and i enjoyed happy hour during the week at all of the restaraunts and bars along the creek, amazing sunset strolls on the docks and plenty of amazing food options nearby! We enjoyed the stay very much. The hotel is minimal having just what you need but the location and night life is more than worth the stay. Would stay again and would recommend it!

We loved our stay at the Shem Creek Inn! The location was amazing and we could have happily sat on our balcony all day watching pelicans and dolphins swim up and down the creek! Free parking was a perk, but the staff were outstanding! Everyone was friendly and helpful! We'll be back!

As always, I loved my stay at Shem Creek Inn. The only issue I had was being rushed out of my room by the cleaning team before the checkout time. I understand that it was 4th of July weekend and things were busy but that was unnecessary.

Understand. I stayed the week of July 4th. BUT $400 a night?! Microwavable breakfast sandwiches is what they say is “breakfast available at no charge” Again, $400! Can I get fresh fruit at least? The staff, when they were there (not often) were very friendly

The location of the inn is perfect to enjoy all the restaurants & excursions that surround it. The Inn was very clean and well maintained. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The staff was great & we did not need to have much interaction with them because everything was supplied at check in. The only issue we had was the morning of our departure. The cleaning crew were very loud outside our door starting at 9am. Check out is 11am & we planned to try to sleep in before leaving on time. The cleaning crew seemed to really want us out before 11 so they could "be done and go home". Overall we LOVED our stay at Shem Creek Inn and plan on returning for future stays.
