Shem Creek Inn

Room should have been a lot nicer for the price paid. Have stayed in less expensive hotels that had much nicer rooms. For a few dollars more, could have stayed in historic section of downtown Charleston.

Bring your own pool towels, they don't have any out at the pool and the bath towels are a little small for the pool. So much fun sitting out on the pool deck in the evening with the amazing night life steps away from your home. The hotel staff was wonderful. Nice casual breakfast each morning in the lobby.

The mattresses were too soft. If you sat on the edge you fell off. There was mildew on the shower Mat in tub and around caulking. The deck was very weatherbeaten and needed paint. Just really old. Pictures online were most likely when it opened. The good was the continental breakfast. There was fruit, oatmeal, grits,cereal and must husbands favorite, crispy kreme donuts. There is a hidden treasure down the road, Paige's okra grill. The best biscuits and breakfast. Hotel staff very nice. ...read more

The pro is location which is conducive to partying or fine dining. Also parking is easy and safe. The boardwalk along Shem Creek is a recent addition, well built and very nice to walk on. It is fun to watch the boats come and go. Many fishing trawlers are docked there and were decked out in colorful flags for the weekend. Young and old seemed to be having a good time, and the restaurants we attended had very good food. One restaurant was very upscale and we chose the more moderately priced one next to the hotel. I don't understand why they don't take better care of the hotel room though. I will say that the bed was very comfortable and made us think if buying a new mattress at home. I do recommend this hotel if this is the kind of environment you are looking for and maybe some of the rooms are better maintained than the one we had. ...read more

Breakfast area could only accommodate 10 guests so it was crowded most of the time, but the hours were good so you could go early or late and get a seat. The front desk staff was not very attentive and you felt like you were interrupting them to ask a question...overall we enjoyed the room and location but feel that the star rating should be more like 2 instead of 3. If we had paid the rack rate for this hotel we would have been very disappointed but thanks to Priceline we got it for considerably less. ...read more

From the road, the hotel looks bad. However, it is nicer than it looks. It is old but it is well maintained. Everything was neat and clean and I did appreciate that.

Got this on a "bid" and got a great value. It's a great location to water activities and you can walk down the boardwalk over the marsh and pick up a water taxi to downtown Charleston, They had us booked in the marsh-side 2nd floor room, which is what we were hoping for. We like quiet. Room was large and renovated. Very clean and comfortable overall. Staff was pleasant and have we no complaints. Since it is a local "inn" that's been around for a while, they'll be some quirks and a little less shine but that's to be expected. Yes would recommend and once again, Priceline worked well. ...read more

Great location if you have a wedding in Mt. Pleasant or Sullivan's Island and another wedding event Downtown Charleston.
