Missed the mark
We stayed in a pet friendly room (which the expectation is that it probably won't be as clean as a regular room) With that being said, our room smelled horribly like cat urine. The tables were bowed out and uneven. The shower was re-done so that was nice. You could tell they were attempting to improve, but not quite there.

Awful
The room was disgusting. The air conditioner did not work properly and the humidity in the room had to be at 100. The carpet was nasty.

Property is a converted motel, and infrastructure and facilities are old and unpretentious. Linens and towels are old, though clean. Beds and matresses were good. Shower and bath were definitely showing their age, needing some caulk and paint. Some smell of disinfectant from the carpet. AC worked well!
We were OK with it and stayed 3 nights. A reasonable stay for a fair price.

Not worth it.
The hotel itself was fine. No frills. Simple lodging. The rooms were clean and we had everything we needed. Breakfast was free. It wasn't the best breakfast around, but it filled an empty spot. My experience was unpleasant there, but not because of the room. There was an issue with check in and i dont know if it was the hotels fault, hotels.com's fault or both. The hotel claimed they couldn't find my reservation in their system once we arrived for check in. We had to sit and wait in the lobby for close to an hour before it was resolved. The hotel didn't even try to fix it. They made me call hotels.com to fix the problem myself. Hotels.com said their only option was to refund me, which didnt fix our problem of needing somewhere to sleep. The hotel said their only option was to have me book and pay for the room directly with them. So i ended up being charged twice for the room. I'm still waiting on my refund from hotels.com. check in was extremely painful and time-consuming. The front desk clerk wasnt very kind and was not very helpful at all. They did apologize in the end, but it didn’t make much difference at that point. I likely would not book a room at this hotel again and i wouldn't suggest this hotel to anyone else either.

Time For A Renovation!
The view from my room was of a Hampton Inn that I wish I was in but they were booked. The carpets are disgusting and filthy. I was walking around barefoot in the room and my feet turned dark brown. The beds are broken down so you can feel the springs and the pillows are beat up as well. The staff were fine.

This is a great hotel if youre looking for a clean, quiet room with no issues. Did i mention a friendly staff. The breakfast is better than you'd expect. We have stayed in numerous hotels thru the years, and Best Western Murphy is our pick. the bed may be too soft or too hard for your liking, but you wont be disappointed with your overall experience.
