The Murray Premises Hotel
The rooms are clean. The staff was amazing. We are in the very top floor, which had no elevator for one floor. I wasn’t a big fan of the angled ceilings at the top floor either. If I was returned, I would ask for a lower floor, but besides that it was amazing. Location was great.
