"Bad experience"

4.0

At first our room looked decent, but then we discovered dirty corners in the room and mold in the bathroom. On the balcony we found a bag with food leftovers. Our room was not made up on the second day. Management?? The breakfast was terrible, everyting packed in plastic. We couldn't eat it. Of course very low maintenance.

"Amazing Guest Services"

10.0

We had to cancel our trip at the last minute due to a family emergency. Eddy, the Guest Services Manager at Shem Creek Inn, was very responsive and understanding. As soon as we were able to reschedule our trip, we booked our stay at the inn again. I will be sure to write another review after our stay.

"Perfect little place on the Shem Creek"

10.0

ighly recommend. While generally no-frills, the location, service, cleanliness and comfort were all perfect. Staff were genuinely very friendly and eager to assist. The pool deck was particularly cool overlooking the Shem Creek’s marina, restaurants and beach bars. Live music played each day thoroughly Shem Creek, but we were pleasantly surprised that it did not keep us up at night. Easy drive/uber to downtown Charleston.

This is a great location. We attended the WTA tennis tournament there - Daniels Island. This a small hotel that is well run and goes out of its way to accommodate the guest. We have stayed there for 10+ years.
