The room very small but also very clean. Front desk staff were so very helpful. A small breakfast basket but only on the weekends. Perfectly lovely for a short stay. No laundry service so don't expect a real hotel experience. If you have to come to Murphy (which seriously why would you) this is great for a day or two. Nice restaurant across the street well within walking distance.

Five stars is not enough. I can’t say enough about how amazing our stay was. Ashley and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating to us. It is also the cleanest place I have ever stayed at and that is saying a lot because I travel often and I am very picky about where I stay. The motel was recommended to me by a friend and that is why I tried it out. I am so glad I did because it is a hidden gem. Sunset Motel is my go to place from now on when visiting the area.Rooms: The rooms and around the motel were extremely clean. I was very comfortable with my stay.Walkability: The motel is located downtown and is within walking distance to several nice restaurants.Noteworthy details: I had a personal issue while on my trip and Ashley was amazing with accommodating my situation.

Noteworthy details: The staff charged a $150 fee for smoking and cleaning. The room wasn't smoked in during our stay. They are also the rudest people I've ever had the displeasure to deal with.

Loved the way it was presentable. Rooms very clean & enjoyable. Manager very nice. Brought fruit, apples, bananas, muffins & breakfast bars to room. If you left your room to go somewhere, it was cleaned up & bedding changed. Will go again when going to that area. Beyond any other place.

This motel is everything you want a motel to be. It's extremely clean. When you walk in the clean and fresh smell hits you. It's so wonderful. Then you notice the beautiful towel bundle with toiletries, fruit and muffins on the table, charming retro decor, and plenty of space for luggage. My husband and I have stayed in a lot of hotels and some extremely expensive ones that charged three times what this place does and weren't half as clean, hospitable, or welcoming. We now make it a point to come through murphy just to stay here, even coming on our honeymoon for a night. Murphy is the perfect road trip stopover simply because it is home to the sunset motel.Nearby activities: One hour from Bryson City, home of the great smoky mountain railroad.Food & drinks: Waffle King is the best breakfast spot in Murphy, served all day

This place is a simple roadside motel. It's small. It is not flashy and does not have fancy amenities. We chose to stay here as we were going to the local casino and did not need an upscale room. This place for the bill. It was the least expensive of our options. However, we have stayed in fancier hotels that were not this nice. The room itself was very clean. We had a little breakfast basket with fruit and muffins. The front desk clerk was very friendly and cheery. While this is not a place I would stay for a week long vacation, it was perfect for a weekend. It does not have a pool. It's a throwback to roadside motels from the 50s and 60s. It even has the decor to match. I wish every place I stayed on vacations was a clean as this place, as well as having a friendly a staff.

I loved the hotel, but it was really cold when we stayed, so we were so looking forward to a nice hot shower...... Nope..... Extremely cold barely luke warm water both nights. I even tried around like 4am just to see if it was because everyone else was using it, nope. Still cold. I love my showers, so I couldn't believe how cold the hot water was. I let it run for several minutes to see if it would eventually get hot, nope. I was more cold getting into the shower than I was not taking one. ? The lady at the counter was extremely nice, but for cost, there should be hot/warm water. (Also a LOT of ants. Ants everywhere. Ants all over the walls)Rooms: Cold water. The hot water turned on just hot runs colder than Luke warm water. ?
