Best accommodations around!
It was our first stay at the Sunset Motel. We’ve traveled to Murphy, NC often and had stayed at various hotels. We wish we had stayed at the Sunset Motel for every visit! Very clean and nicely decorated. The staff was very friendly. And the complimentary breakfast basket was wonderful. Highly recommend!

Great Stay
Although it’s an older motel and could probably of been a 4 star rating just because of the dated facility but it is still a great little motel. It was very clean and felt safe. Great location to walk around town, etc.

Fantastic location in downtown Murphy. You can walk to everything. We have stayed here several times - the motel is old but very well maintained and clean. Murphy is a fun town.
