After a day of exploring the foothills (and the wineries therein), we decided that it was smarter to stay the night and enjoy the locals... "we'll drive home Sunday". We checked several of the competing hotels. Some were cheaper, and looked ok, but were 'pet friendly'. My wife has asthma, some pets are a really bad thing. So, we settled... More

So I'm guessing there are nicer, quieter places to stay in town but the Murphys Hotel is very convenient and quaint as heck. HOWEVER, the rooms are not very comfortable-Small bathroom, loud parking lot and the bed was not great. Some drunk fool actually pounded on our door at 2:15 thinking he had his room. GREAT. We had one of... More

I'ts homey and like visiting an old friend, Centrally located. Motel rooms are a bit spartan for some folks, I suppose. Great bar and histirical rooms and good dining room, More

Make this your last option in Murphys. First of all the website photos are a lie. The big historical part and pics of rooms are only a small portion of this hotel. When we checked in we got a room that was no better than a motel 6, actually that would have probably been better, in a "modern" part that... More

Aug. 17, 2011 - Burger and fries were pretty good, the crab cakes were not. While my girlfriend and I were having a drink at the bar we were advised by Jason, the bartender, a very gracious and professional fellow that food service on The Patio was about to end if we wished to have our lunch outside. We promptly... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for our anniversary. There was little to please us about our stay, but the worst part was that the noise from the bar was really bad. We got a particular room (#18) recommended to us at the time we made the reservations because we were told it was farther from the bar... More

This was my first visit to Murphys and was pleasantly surprised by the number of quaint shops and wine tasting opportunities. Staff at the hotel were friendly and accomodating although when we went down for breakfast on Saturday morning at 9am, they were already backed up trying to seat everyone and take orders. Room was clean and roomy but the... More

Location was excellent. People walking down the hall were trying to open the door to our room. Weird. The Ulysses S. Grant room sits right above the bar/dance club and the music is played loud enough so that you can identify the music right through closing time. When I went downstairs (there are no phones) there was sign at the... More

We left the Strawberry area due to the electricity going out and just happned upon Murphys. We didn't really know where to stay and therefore just picked this place by chance. Because we had a 3 year old with us we wanted to have our own bathroom and therefore stayed in the "newer" section of the hotel. The room was... More
