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.

Staff was awesome! Location was super cool. Rooms were clean but a bit on the old side.
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.
Great view of the creek, with the pelicans and dolphins and boats and kayakers going by! Beautiful boardwalk path to get a little closer to the nature if you want to. And all sorts of dining and beverage activities very close by!
Room was typical, perfect location to walk to multiple restaurants and bars.

The entire area was clean. We felt safe at all times. It was a great location. We are already booking for another stay.
Staff was friendly and welcoming.
Great staying here instead of center city. A lot of options of restaurants. Like walking on board walk to watch sun sets. Cool watching shrimp boats unload massive amounts of shrimp.
