The Spotlight on Best Western University Inn

Comfortable, Budget-Friendly Stay Near the Music Scene in Murray


Modern and welcoming, the Best Western University Inn in Murray blends comfort and value just under 2 miles from Murray State University—home to several event and concert spaces. This 3-star hotel features free WiFi, a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness center, and friendly 24-hour front desk service, making it a convenient home base whether you're in town for a bucket-list show or a weekend of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it


Its location just a quick drive from Murray State University means you're never far from local performances and events. After the music fades, head back to a quiet, peaceful room that's a bit removed from the noise of the university area. Plus, with late check-in from 4 PM and helpful overnight staff, it’s easy to roll in after a show without stress.

Who this Hotel is great for


Groups of friends looking for an affordable crash pad near concert venues
Solo travelers hitting up a favorite artist at Murray State
Couples making a weekend getaway out of a local show
Fans seeking a quieter post-concert retreat
Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort

Food and Drink Options


While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests love the daily buffet breakfast—perfect for late risers after a night out. The hotel is also within easy driving distance of local diners and casual spots for late-night bites. Though there’s no 24/7 room service, the front desk can point you to nearby options.

Nightlife Options


This isn’t a party hotel, but that’s part of its charm. You’ll find local bars and pubs near the university just a short drive away. After the show, you can head back to a quiet, restful room—ideal for unwinding after a high-energy evening.

What People Say


Guests consistently mention the friendly staff, clean rooms, and convenient location. Many note the hotel’s value for money, especially with freebies like WiFi and breakfast. Reviewers also highlight the easy parking and short drive to campus events.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that the decor is a bit dated and the pool is only open seasonally—but for the price, most agree it’s a great deal for concert-goers. If you’re looking for nightlife right at your doorstep, you may need to venture a bit closer to the university.

The Bottom Line


For music fans who want a budget-friendly, quiet place to recharge after the show, Best Western University Inn hits the right note.

It was good enough for...

Liked: Lobby was nice, and the breakfast was decent. Staff was friendly. The rooms were fairly clean.
Disliked: The air conditioner smelled like mildew had to run to the local Walmart to get more blankets since the blankets were to thin. Breakfast was good, but the biscuits were stale.

just okay

Liked: bed was very comfortable
Disliked: They were renovating rooms around us, using hammer drills or other impacting tools. The pool was not operational. The bath tub was exceptionally slick. My wife fell getting in. I put a face towel in the tub to inhibit falling. The sockets on the lamps near the bed were not tight enough to hold a phone charge and would not energize a charger. There were no modern UPS ports to charge a cell phone in the room either
