Most towns have a small hotel. Most are run-down and scary looking. The Murray Plaza is a fabulous exception to this stereotype. The landscaping and outdoor decor are well-maintained. The reception was professional and inviting. The room was simple, but perfectly clean. Sure, it doesn't have all of the amenities of the higher-priced major chain hotels, but it brings back... More

When you drive up to the Plaza Lodge in Murray, you think back to the old motor courts of the 50s and 60s. Most of the rooms are on the first floor, you park right outside your front door. Big yard with a large trees and a gazebo out front. I'm sure this used to be one of those before... More

Thank you very much for taking time and writing us a wonderful review. We always find things to improve here and there. Your advice is very precious to us. We are in search of quiet AC/heater units for replacement in near future. We will never stop cleaning and upgrading for our guests' happiness. More

The "big touch" to this hotel is the amazing cleanliness. I'm talking spotless!! I'm not saying you can eat your supper on the floor, but your children (or husband) can for sure drop their underwear on it. (Something our family is never quite sure about at other places.) And so many great small touches: the gazebo, the manicured flower bed,... More

Made it back to Wisc. safely after a memorable, almost three week long stay at your Lodge. I loved waking up to the beauty of the gazebos, birds chirping and vined pillars gracing the entrance of my room walkways. I appreciated the fresh coffee, friendly smiles, clean rooms and linens, and parking right in front of my door...no steps. Owners... More

My husband and I stay here when we go to Murray for MSU football and basketball games. It's quaint, nostalgic, clean as a pin and so convenient (love parking right in front of the room door). And the price...can't be beat! The owners are super nice and accommodating. This will always be our go to place when in Murray.

I am very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and the friendly owners. The other hotels in Murray need to come by this hotel and take some notes.

When you were a kid and you traveled to California on 66, your family stopped along the way at a motel. It had a courtyard with a gazebo and a swing.

This place is old school motel but very friendly service, very clean and all the amenities we needed, a fridge and microwave. Everything was immaculate and at a great price, if you want to take a step back in time, then this is the place.. All non-smoking and pet free.
