Beautiful stay
The check-in process was smooth, me movies and popcorn at the front desk were a great touch and we loved the pool and hot tub. The Continental breakfast was a nice touch as well, and the location is great and a beautiful walk into town!

Good bed but horrific noise level
Booked this because King size bed and it was a last minute trip and king size seemed hard to find. Reviews said beds were comfortable and the bed was good. The bathroom setup was very strange with a window being in the middle of the mirror leaving two small sections of mirror on either side. It was difficult for my husband to shave because the sink was in the middle of the vanity directly underneath the window. Its a very very old motel. The staff were very nice but we would never stay here again because of the noise. You can hear everything that goes on around you. We were in 2nd floor room and we had extremely loud people under us. They partied outside their room on the patio until late at night. The 2nd night I called the manager on duty at 10 pm because that is suppose to start the “quiet” time. She said she would contact them. They were literally so loud that we could still hear them over a sound app with rain turned up very loud trying to drown out their noise. About 45 minutes later they somewhat settled down but could still hear the loudest voice in the room under us talking. I will spend more time choosing a place to stay next time because this will not be it.

Clean and comfortable
The staff were friendly and helpful and the room/condo was clean and comfortable. The fireplace was just for looks and a stereo candle and there was no kitchen with plates etc. This appears to me a motel conversion but the condos had a nice small river view and a pleasant patio with chairs. I would say they’ve upgraded fixtures but it’s not a modern newer look. It’s rustic. I would stay there again but felt the price high.

Perfect walkable location
We loved the location, walkable to all the shops and restaurants. Our room faced the river and we loved the view and sound of the water. Murphy's has a rustic cabin vibe.
