Charleston Creekside Inn

Charming, Waterfront Comfort Just Outside Downtown Charleston

Located about 15 minutes from the heart of the Charleston Historic District, Charleston Creekside Inn offers a peaceful, creekside setting with easy access to the city’s top music venues. This recently renovated inn features cozy, well-equipped rooms with new furniture, flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and mini-fridges. The vibe is laid-back and local, with a touch of Southern hospitality.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers will appreciate the quick 15-minute drive into downtown Charleston, making it easy to catch shows without staying in the thick of the city buzz. After a loud night out, the inn's quiet, waterside location offers a great spot to unwind. While there's no on-site shuttle, parking is free and plentiful, and rideshares are easy to find. The 3:00 PM check-in makes pre-show prep stress-free, and with an 11:00 AM check-out, there’s time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a home base with outdoor hangout space
• Solo travelers catching a must-see show and wanting peace and quiet
• Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
• Fans who want a quieter place to relax after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to compromise on comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the inn doesn’t feature a full restaurant, rooms come equipped with microwaves and mini-fridges—perfect for post-show snacks. There are also plenty of nearby eateries within a short drive, including late-night fast food and local Southern fare. The picnic area with BBQ grills is a nice touch if you're staying with friends and want a casual meal before heading out. Breakfast options are nearby, ideal for a slow start after a big night.

Nightlife Options

Though Charleston Creekside Inn is more of a retreat than a party spot, it’s within easy reach of Charleston’s vibrant nightlife. Bars, breweries, and live music venues in the downtown area are just a short drive away. If you’re looking to keep the night going, there are lounges and clubs waiting for you back in the city. For those who prefer to chill, the creekside setting offers a peaceful way to end the night.

What People Say

Guests love the relaxed atmosphere and often highlight the clean, updated rooms and friendly staff. Reviewers frequently mention the inn’s scenic views of the creek, and many appreciate the value for the price. The on-site dock for fishing or crabbing gets a lot of love from travelers looking for something different during their stay.

Areas for Improvement

This isn't a luxury hotel, so don’t expect high-end amenities or room service. Some guests mention the lack of on-site dining as a minor drawback, and while the location is quiet, it’s a bit removed from downtown, so a car or rideshare is essential.

The Bottom Line

Charleston Creekside Inn is a laid-back, affordable stay that combines creekside charm with easy access to Charleston’s concert venues—perfect for fans who want both convenience and calm.
