The Murray Premises is a beautiful, historic building right on the waterfront. Our room was clean, very spacious and so charming with the wooden beams and fireplace. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was quite roomy and clean with a large shower. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I would definitely stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend the Murray Premises to others.

Good hotel

The hotel was fine. Clean, comfortable, could use an update. I have to say it is odd that there are 4 floors but the elevator only goes as far as 3. So if you got a lot of luggage. You get off on floor 3 then have to carry your stuff up to floor 4. Very odd
