Clean and comfortable
The staff were friendly and helpful and the room/condo was clean and comfortable. The fireplace was just for looks and a stereo candle and there was no kitchen with plates etc. This appears to me a motel conversion but the condos had a nice small river view and a pleasant patio with chairs. I would say they’ve upgraded fixtures but it’s not a modern newer look. It’s rustic. I would stay there again but felt the price high.

Perfect walkable location
We loved the location, walkable to all the shops and restaurants. Our room faced the river and we loved the view and sound of the water. Murphy's has a rustic cabin vibe.

Absolutely loved our stay at Murphys River Lodge! Seeing a huge elk with several cos and calves was the best! The animals stroll around the property as if they own it. We enjoyed the continental breakfast and the indoor pool/hot tub. Easy walk to a busy part of town with dining and shopping. Great location for visiting RMNP.

Loved the ambiance of the property. So very peaceful. The back porch and river rushing right outside our door made for the most tranquil, serene feel. Really beautiful setting
