Room was pretty clean and comfortable. The only issue was the water from the sink was cloudy and had a well water odor. The shower had clear water and the water pressure was amazing, still a little well water odor.

They did have a coffee maker and coffee in the room it was a peaceful place was a lot of racket. The bed was comfortable. Water was not as hot as I’d like for it to be, but it was usable.

Very clean. They got 100% on Sanitation Certification. The mattress had a bed bug protective encasement. I checked anyway. No bugs anywhere inside or out. They have a coffee maker w/supplies to make two cups of coffee. There was a microwave and refrigerator in our room. The bed was very comfortable. Not too firm but not too soft. Very pleasant owners. Easy to check in and easy to check out. It is on Scenic Hwy 64 and we went during high season so motorcycles some trucks but after 11 pm it was country quiet. Close to convenience stores and several restaurants w/o having to go into Murphy. About 11 min drive to Murphy NC which has shops, bars some with live music, restaurants. It was a good stay for me and my husband. The price per night is very reasonable. Felt safe and even got to talk to our “neighbors” all were super nice.

This hotel was good. The bed was comfortable, we didn’t have the desired hot water though. It is close to a highway, so road noise was a little loud. The owner was very nice.

Quiet, Quaint, Clean & Comfortable!

We stay here every year and sometimes twice a year and we love it! It’s always a great experience. Although it is a small, no frills roadside motel, that is just fine, it’s quiet, quaint, clean, comfortable, very reasonably priced and the owners and staff are always very nice and accommodating! It fit us perfect and we enjoy our stay every time! Highly recommended!

The motel was very clean and fresh. It looked like it had been newly remodeled. There was a refrigerator in microwave and coffee maker. Had a nice safety bar to step in and out of the shower. Bed was very comfortable. There was a nice table and two chairs.

The room was clean. It had a mini fridge, microwave and individual coffee maker. If you have a bad back, though, it’s not the best choice because the beds are very soft … too soft to provide support. If you love soft, cozy mattresses that you sink down into, it would be perfect for you.

Good stay in Murphy

This is a nice and quiet stay with a perfect location. Very close to the Nantahala Forest. For the price it can't be beat! Some minor cosmetic repairs are needed, but nothing serious at all, and you can tell they are being worked on. The cleanliness more than makes up for it. I've stayed in chain hotels that are more expensive, but aren't anywhere near as clean as Murphy Motel is. The manager is friendly and kind, and went out of his way to make sure I had a pleasant stay! The best part of my stay was sitting outside my room at night (they have chairs!) and talking with my motel room neighbors. This has become my go-to stay for Murphy!

They were accommodating but I booked a smoking room and it's all non-smoking which was an inconvenience. The bathroom light kept flickering on and off. I never got the wifi password the whole time I was there which effected a few things. It was clean and quiet which was very nice.
