We killed three roaches in our room throughout our stay. Nothing says bad vibes like roaches in your hotel room. The hotel is cute and in a fantastic location, but it feels very Covid era where they still aren’t doing housekeeping throughout your stay. You have to get your own towels and put your trash outside your room. The whole place needs attention and a good scrubbing.
Great view from the room.
Roaches. Everywhere.

As shared with the front desk staff, the floor surface was very dirty. I suspect it held much residue from whatever cleaning solvent was used. Overall, the facility is worn but otherwise nice. Staffing was limited over the holiday period however interaction with security or front desk was very pleasant. Great location and very convenient to MTP, CHS, IOP, and surrounding areas. I would consider staying there again.

Shem Creek Inn was the perfect place for me and my son to stay for catching a charter boat to Crab Bank and for visiting Charleston. The hotel was clean, modern, and beautifully located on the creek with loads of pelicans and other birds flying by. Nicole at check in was super helpful and friendly, and the self-serve breakfast had better options for us than, for example, a Holiday Inn Express. Parking was a breeze in December, and plenty of good restaurants close by. I'd certainly stay here again.
