What guests think

At Murphys Inn Motel, travellers consistently highlight clean, comfortable rooms, friendly service, and a walkable location near restaurants, wine tasting, and shops, making it a convenient, good value base for short stays in Murphys and nearby attractions.

Many guests mention spacious layouts, comfortable beds, and useful in-room basics like a fridge and microwave. Recurring downsides include a dated feel, unreliable Wi-Fi/TV connectivity, thin walls with occasional noise, and frequent pool closures or cleanliness issues. Service is warmly reviewed but staffing can be limited, with front desk gaps and some rooms not ready at check-in; housekeeping is often by request. Expect a simple, clean, walkable stay with modest amenities.

The swimming pool was in sad shape. That is a reflection of the hotel. But when you figure the price of the hotel, and what you wanted the hotel to do for you....overall value was very good.

There was food and debris along the hall for both nights we stayed there, the bathroom looked clean but it smelled like the bathtub covered up mold. Very moldy and when we first walked in the room it smelled like it had just been fumigated fix that up there. To pick that up had to reach behind the TV to make it work and adjust and could not get Netflix

There is no daily maid service unless you request it. We don’t mind that as we can request clean towels. We had to run the fan full blast to get rid of the musty smell in our room. We have stayed here many times and have never encountered this issue before.

The room was very clean and felt tended to. The only reason I didn't give it an "excellent" is because there was one used wash cloth hanging on the shower rod that housekeeping must have missed. But really this place is clean and is a decent deal. Comfortable beds.

Decent place, friendly staff. We stayed on a Friday night and found the place surprisingly quiet, even though sold out. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean. Our room had a smoke detector dangling from the ceiling and the bathroom sink had a crack in it. The towels were VERY worn, but we would stay again.

Clean room and bathroom. The beds were comfortable. Walking distance to everything Murphys has to offer was perfect. Knowing it was off season, the pool looked scary. It was difficult to get assistance in the lobby… I had to call several times, each time there was no answer. When they finally arrived the helped the people who arrived after us. Good parking.

The property was in a good location and had the diner right across the parking lot and the people who worked there were friendly enough. My issues were that the wall were paper thin (you get what you pay for), the people up above us were stomping and making sounds all through the night. The beds were all springs. The television didn’t connect to the internet. It was an okay stay nothing to write home about but left for more to be desired. The rooms and beds were clean though so the basics were coved.

The positive - the staff was super friendly and welcoming. The location was so convenient to everything. The room was very clean. The challenges - the wifi - it wasn't a secured network really. I had to keep signing in every hour or so. The TV was kind of useless cause I couldn't add my HBO or YouTube TV apps temporarily and I couldn't screen mirror. The phone in my room was unplugged and didn't work even when I did plug it in. One of the lamp's switches was broken so the lamp didn't work. Overall, not bad but not great.

For a budget motel, we enjoyed our stay. Staff were very friendly. Room was large & clean. Hotel needs a refresh but they do a great job with what they have. Pool was a good size. No sun loungers. Was clean. Location is good. Walking distance to the coffee shop in the morning and all the restaurants, park, creek and bars. We’ve stayed in Murphy’s before but more in the middle of town, and I’d say for what it’s costs to stay in the middle of town, I’d much rather stay at Murphy’s Inn Motel.

I visited Calaveras Big Trees Park that day and needed a place to stay overnight before driving to Yosemite. This was perfect. There was a health food store a 5 minute walk away and a microwave and minifridge in the room, which made dining so easy. I got the best night of sleep I've had in a long time because it was perfectly quiet.

The motel itself is a bit dated but hey, it’s the mountains. What stood out was the exceptional customer service. Specifically, I found Shannon to be a rare gift to the hospitality field. She went well above and beyond to ensure that my stay was the best it could be. I was delayed in arrival and SHE actually called me to see if everything was alright. She then devised a plan to allow me to check in after normal hours. I’ve had less service at the Four Seasons. As long as Shannon is working there, I’ll be staying there. BTW - I never leave reviews - it takes a lot to earn my time. Thank you Shannon.
