The Murray is an older hotel with a lot of charm. The rooms are nice and different than a regular layout with a very large bathroom and a fireplace. The lighting is very dark and there’s only one window in the room. That was my only issue. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Location wise this is probably the best hotel to walk around downtown st. Johns.
Friendly staff. Very clean. Great location. Good price

This is a very comfortable hotel and I would stay there again. The price was good. The decor and facilities are just a bit dated and tired, but if the goal is a comfortable bed in a quiet, safe and central location then this is a good choice
Beautiful hotel, staff were friendly and helpful. Beds were super comfortable definitely would recommend this hotel, location is downtown so lots of restaurants

Old style property on the waterfront. Clean and warm with friendly staff.
Checkin went smoothly. Room was clean except for the fridge and cobwebs on the beams. Continently located across from Jack Astor’s and The Keg, only a two minute walk from downtown. Would stay here again!
A really nice hotel in the heart of downtown. It was my first stay here and I will definitely return and recommend it to others. The room was very spacious, comfortable,clean, quiet with all the modern conveniences while keeping the charm of a historic fishing premises. Staff were great and parking was right next to the front door. The complimentary coffee/tea kitchen and included continental breakfast were a bonus.
