Excellent Stay
Overall it was an excellent stay. The room and staff were both awesome. They only thing I would like to mention is that bed's mattress was a little lumpy.

Great value and beautiful room.
Had a few days here just before Christmas. The first room was lovely and spacious and quite comfy. The air ducts over the door were making a loud noise so I switched rooms for the second and third nights. Second room was super quiet and very nice but the pillows and bed covers were worn and could use replacing. Amazing bathrooms with huge showers, amazing water pressure and hot air towel dryers that was a nice touch. I would stay here again. Great value and great location, central to the downtown bar and club areas as well as close to shopping and the harbor front.

Stale smell
We have stayed at the Murray Premises numerous times. We like it there. This is the first time however that we have stayed in the “other” part of the hotel. When you walk through the doors into this section there’s a stale smell that hits you. It was in the halls and the room as well.
The smell isn’t unbearable, but it’s definitely present.
If we return for another stay, I will be requesting the area accessed by the first elevator.

Weekend disaster
After we arrived we were informed that there was no elevator to our room. The beans in the room were so low we couldn't move about the room without hunching over. We were supposed to get VIP status but the front desk knew nothing about it and to top it off or new car was broken into on our list night and the rest window completely smashed out. This is apparently a common occurrence at this hotel. Would never risk staying there again.

À big room with a large bathroom.
Pretty
The walls are thin enough to hear people talking in the hallway. You can hear those above you walking.

Great Stay!
We had a great experience at the hotel. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Small issue with the curtain that was quickly resolved. Curtains and bedding were dated but clean as was the rest of the room. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
