Great lil place to stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here this weekend. Great location, near food, shopping and close enough to visit the beach when not sitting at pool overlooking shem creek. Had a creekside room... Comfy beds are a bonus!

Great local and staff
I love the location, pool, decks and all of the people that work at Shem Creek Inn are very nice and helpful. I suggest adding some splits of Prosecco to the drink cooler.

Probably my most favorite stay ever! We went to eat at Water’s Edge while visiting Charlestown and saw Shem Creek Inn and had to come back and stay there. Didn’t disappoint! Doug checked us in and he might’ve been the best part of the Inn but it was all so great, even the grab and go breakfast. No soggy, rubbery eggs, just all great breakfast options! Thank you and we’ll be back!!

Great location but noisy
Shem creek inn is in a great location for food and drinks but the hotel is very noisy at night ! The lobby is open on the board way and many people come in and sit in lobby at all hours ! Some nights they were partying till 3am and we couldn’t sleep ! Also the pool is open to board way and many outsiders not

Awesome location so much to do right there. Very comfortable room in bed. Only complaint is that you could hear pretty well out into the hallways and other rooms which made for disruptive night sleep

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.
