Sunset Motel,

199 Valley River Avenue, Murphy, NC 28906

"The room very small but also very clean. Front desk staff were so very helpful. A small breakfast basket but only on the weekends. Perfectly lovely for a short stay. No laundry service so don't expect a real hotel experience. If you have to come to Murphy (which seriously why would you) this is great for a day or two. Nice restaurant across the street well within walking distance."

"Five stars is not enough. I can’t say enough about how amazing our stay was. Ashley and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating to us. It is also the cleanest place I have ever stayed at and that is saying a lot because I travel often and I am very picky about where I stay. The motel was recommended to me by a friend and that is why I tried it out. I am so glad I did because it is a hidden gem. Sunset Motel is my go to place from now on when visiting the area."

"Loved the way it was presentable. Rooms very clean & enjoyable. Manager very nice. Brought fruit, apples, bananas, muffins & breakfast bars to room. If you left your room to go somewhere, it was cleaned up & bedding changed. Will go again when going to that area. Beyond any other place."

"This motel is everything you want a motel to be. It's extremely clean. When you walk in the clean and fresh smell hits you. It's so wonderful. Then you notice the beautiful towel bundle with toiletries, fruit and muffins on the table, charming retro decor, and plenty of space for luggage. My husband and I have stayed in a lot of hotels and some extremely expensive ones that charged three times what this place does and weren't half as clean, hospitable, or welcoming. We now make it a point to come through murphy just to stay here, even coming on our honeymoon for a night. Murphy is the perfect road trip stopover simply because it is home to the sunset motel."

"This place is a simple roadside motel. It's small. It is not flashy and does not have fancy amenities. We chose to stay here as we were going to the local casino and did not need an upscale room. This place for the bill. It was the least expensive of our options. However, we have stayed in fancier hotels that were not this nice. The room itself was very clean. We had a little breakfast basket with fruit and muffins. The front desk clerk was very friendly and cheery. While this is not a place I would stay for a week long vacation, it was perfect for a weekend. It does not have a pool. It's a throwback to roadside motels from the 50s and 60s. It even has the decor to match. I wish every place I stayed on vacations was a clean as this place, as well as having a friendly a staff."
