Murphys Suites

We stayed for two nights on a last minute trip. It was the only place available in town over Memorial Day weekend. The staff is very nice and accommodating. The swimming pool was very cold though refreshing once you got used to it s t was hot weather. The jacuzzi spa was dirty and a lot of little kids in and out so I would suggest they clean that more often but overall was an average experience. We were comfortable enough though the rooms are a bit outdated, it was ok, we had a nice stay.

Excellent hotel, very clean. Rooms had a separate living area and kitchenette. Fresh doughnuts delivered to your door for breakfast! I feel like we were guests in someone’s home, entire town is super sweet.

we have stayed at this hotel every November for a few years in a row.
the rooms are getting very tired. inexpensive beds that have lost all their support and have an even flatter mattress pad to help soften them up but it doesn’t even come close!
through the wall heaters don’t actually turn off once the thermostat setting has been achieved, the fan just stays on 100% of the time and the units are quite loud when trying to sleep.
the TV’s, REALLY! picture tube type sets with the poorest quality reception in the state. I am sure a hanger with aluminum foil would bring a sharper picture.
the Wi-​Fi is non existent. it takes 15 minutes to just log into Google’s home page and then the connection is gone in seconds. if you are lucky enough to stay online, we are talking 1990’s dial up speed service. taking your laptop or phone down to the lobby and closer to the equipment offers no improvement.
this was a nice, comfortable, functioning hotel when it first opened. not so much anymore.
sadly, it is time for a change!

Friendly staff. The beds were comfortable but the more Rooms need updating. TVs and channel selection are really poor. Shower heads are to low especially if you are tall. They should forget the mini doughnuts because they are not very good. Good location if you can get a good price on the rooms.

Anthony Melchiorri really needs to come here and work his magic!
This place isn’t horrible so if you absolutely HAVE to stay in Murphys this will get you by. The hotel is clean but outdated and the room configuration is strange — sink /​vanity is in the living room.
The «assistant manager» was at the check in desk and when we walked up she was having a conversation with the other assistant manager about a time card — who was going to sign it, why wouldn’t «he» sign it, etc. A nice touch was her pack of Marlboro Blacks on the desk in plain view. She checked us in, all the while continuing her conversation with the other employee. She was friendly enough I guess — just not very professional.
The donuts and orange juice delivered to your room in the morning is a nice touch. Our order was wrong — nothing critical and probably due to the fact that at check in she was having that conversation instead of focusing on the guest.
When we checked out this morning, no one was at the front desk and we rang the bell 5 times and waited 10 minutes before someone appeared from the back.
I was happy we only spent one night there.

This is a pretty good spot to stay if you are going to Murphys for a concert at Ironstone Vineyard during the summer. We picked this place after coming here every summer for a concert. What we liked was that it was right across the parking lot from a gem of a restaurant called the Outer Aisle – so worth going to this restaurant, but you can read my review on it if you look it up! That was the main bonus of staying at this hotel. Plus, the hotel has cab service that comes to pick you up if you are heading to Ironstone for the concert, and they bring you back. Another great thing would be the donut and oj delivery to your room at whatever time you choose between 7 – 9 a.m. I was looking forward to that and chose 9 a.m. so my husband and I could sleep in, but by 9:45 a.m. we left for breakfast because they didn’t come when they said they would. When we came back to check out of the hotel, the donuts and oj were sitting in front of our door, they were just late. ok, fine, but when they say 9 a.m. it should be 9 a. m!!! We were hungry and waited for 45 minutes then left for breakfast. The rooms are nice and big, A/​C worked great since it was 94 degrees in Murphys. Front desk gal was humorous and courteous. The only thing my friend and I said when we stayed there was that if they invested in new ‘pretty’ comforters for all their beds, it would look MUCH better instead of those ugly plaid things they had! The pillows could be thrown out and new fluffy down ones bought as well. But all in all, its a satisfactory spot if you’re heading to Murphys. Great town, good people, and fun.

Went to Boston /​Reo Speedwagon concert and stayed at Murphys Suites. Nice rooms, nice people. They had taxis picking us up to go to the concert and the taxi would meet you at the venue and bring you back-​how nice. $ 7 per person each way. Complimentary donuts and orange juice were nice the next morning. I would definitely stay here again. The town could use some restaurants that stay open late but that’s not the Hotels fault. Had fun!

Very hospitable and extremely comfortable! Great rates! Murphys is a cool small town and the suites are the place to stay!

Five stars because of the front desk guy. Rooms ok. Beds were great. Good location. We will be back!

We stayed four nights. The rooms are very spacious and a good value for the money. The rooms were clean and well maintained. We would probably stay there again. We enjoyed the morning donuts and OJ too!
On the down side.
The stairs were never vacuumed during our stay and they needed it. The hallway seemed clean. One day the donuts just never came. The sheets were clean but they need to update because they do not fit the mattress well with the toppers on the beds so they ride up. There is also no bed skirt so you often are looking at exposed striped mattress/​box springs on the side of the bed.
I also was not a fan of looking at all the dirty laundry pile in the room right behind the front desk. It was always visible.
This could really have gotten five stars as a good value option with just a little more tlc and attention to details.

Our family stayed here for three nights. It was ok. Quiet for sure but the free wifi was non existent on Friday and Saturday night when the hotel filled up. When asked on checkout «how was your stay?» I replied ok but the wifi was spotty. They reply was that when the hotel fills up it happens.
I wanted to reply well how about fixing the issue and buying more data and install signal boosters — after all you are advertising free wifi.
The fitness center was sad too and the air conditioner in the fitness center was broken. A good slow food restaurant was across the parking lot–
a plus.

I made reservations on Expedia and realized I made it for wrong night. I immediately called Murphys Suites to correct my mistake and cancel and rebook for the correct night, I was told my the night manager that I needed to call Exspedia to cancel the reservation. Exspedia called Murphys suites and Exspedia was told by the night manager that Murphys suite would not cancel cancel or credit me for the wrong night. This reservation was an obvious mistake and Murphys suites knew it was a mistake but refused to refund my charge. This business practices is not the way to keep past customers happy or to get or keep repeat customer in the future. It would have not cost Murphys suites a cent to cancel my reservation, instead they told Exspedia they would not credit me for the mistake and lost a customer for a simple fix of a mistake, doesn’t make sense or good business practice.

The staff was friendly from the moment we arrived. The waiting area is big and open and was clean. We stayed in a «suite». It too was very clean. The bed was comfortable with nice linens. Small kitchenette with refrigerator was convenient. There were lots of nice little touches especially the homemade donuts delivered in the morning with little orange juice boxes. There is lots of parking a pool and coffee in the reception area. The hotel is close to town and an easy walk to all of the tasting rooms in Murphy’s.

Defiantly recommend this hotel, as it’s our 2^nd time staying there. We travel to Murphy’s often since family is located there. Facility is clean, and very accommodating to my 2 children under 5 yrs. Staff is very friendly, and clearly happy to help. The only thing I would recommend is some updating. We will be back, thanks again for the great experience.

Great place! Front desk staff fun, helpful and energetic. Rooms are clean and well laid out! Plenty of towels and soap! Will come and stay again!

This was a pretty good place overall. The room was clean and the bed was comfy, nice clean towels (though no conditioner so bring your own). It was also well appointed with a hairdryer, microwave, fridge, and two TVs.
The hot tub wasn’t working — it was hot, but the bubble maker wasn’t functioning– and the sauna, pool and little work-​out room were a nice add. Couldn’t see where the towels were for the pool area, so we used our room towels.
We asked to stay another hour the next morning (check-​out is 11 am) but were told we couldn’t as someone else was coming into the room (does it take 4 hours to clean one room — check-​in is at 3 pm?), but overall, service was okay.
However, despite the very minor gripes, I think it was good value for money and I’d definitely come back here and stay.

We unexpectedly had to leave as we were notified our home was broken into. We had just checked in about 3 hours before leaving the room untouched as we visited the area. Most places would have stuck us with the charge but they happily gave us a full refund! Incredibly nice and honest business. Would recommend you based on that.

A few words that will mean a lot. This place is fabulous! starting from the front desk, housekeeping and management. The room was more than I expected. Apart from being super clean it was also comfortable and it sure made me feel at home. Let’s put it this way next time I’ll visit Murphys I won’t even bother shop around even though there are other facilities available and word of mouth has it that they’re all nice, I cannot judge or say anything about them but I am quiet content just booking again at Murphys Suites.
Thank you all you are supper.

Oh! I didn’t mention that they even provide you with large fluffy pool towels :) and these cute little fresh donuts at your door upon request to go with your morning coffee.

Highly recommend this place. Decent price for a great room. The four of us were very comfortable in a suite. The main bedroom contained two queen beds and the outer room had a sofa bed. Each room had their own T.V. (nice), and the suite came with coffee maker, fridge and free wireless. There is also a pool, spa and small fitness room. We used the pool (it was pretty cold though). Unfortunately, the spa was broken. Only negative thing I have to say about the place. Since there had been a wine tasting festival in town and numerous inebriated guests, we were worried about noise but didn’t hear a thing all night. Awesome!
Best of all were the free (and fresh) mini doughnuts and orange juice the next day!
Good location near downtown Murphys. It is walking distance but too far to go with kids. However, a very short and easy drive in the car.

Reason for stay: TownHog deal and explorations!
Visit date: August 20 – 21, 2011
First time? Indeed.
I’ve lived in California my whole life but I had never heard about Murphys before! The Suites had über nice staff and great amenities — free wireless, Oreos in the lobby, muffins delivered to your room in the AM… yea, I like my snacks. ;)
They are located within walking distance to the downtown/​main street area and are a short car ride to the various caverns/​caves. You can also easily hop on nearby bike trails.
