Staff member Ethan Kirby was great with assisting us. Room was okay but surely was not of Boutique Hotel standards.Renovations are needed. This hotel is in a very good location for visiting spots. I must say breakfast is poor. Yogurt, muffin, apples, bananas, and coffee is not even what we would consider a continental breakfast. This hotel desperately needs updating.

Located downtown. Close to everything. Nice big room and very comfortable. Liked the imitation fireplace. Our room had black mold in the bathroom. Mentioned to staff at checkout and was told they would notify housekeeping. Our room had 3 big support pools two on either side of the bed and one in the bathroom 6hat we needed to navigate around. They block the view of the telly. Nice big jetted tub

We absolutely loved our stay at the Murray! Its location is ideal for walking around downtown, having a pint at pub or doing some shopping. The room was clean and had such a rustic look with exposed brick and an electric fireplace.

Very charming, well located historic hotel. Excellent service. Large room, with great amenities. Breakfast was simple - yogurt, fresh muffins, fruit, instant oatmeal. Room could benefit from improved lighting (only one ceiling light at the door - the remaining light was floor or table lamps). TV lost connection constantly - perhaps it was the channel we chose? Overall, great value for a centrally located stay. Very pleased.
