Hampton Inn By Hilton & Suites Murray

Your Laid-Back Concert Base in the Heart of Murray

Modern and welcoming, the Hampton Inn By Hilton & Suites Murray offers a relaxed stay just a short walk from Murray State University, making it ideal for fans heading to campus concerts or local events. With thoughtful amenities, friendly service, and a calm atmosphere, it’s a great pick for music lovers who want both access and downtime.

Guests can enjoy free WiFi, a refreshing indoor pool, and 24-hour front desk support—perfect for late check-ins after a show. The property is surrounded by scenic Kentucky attractions like Land Between the Lakes and Four Rivers Boy Scout Reservation, but its real advantage lies in its central location.

With the university’s music venues just a 16-minute walk away, you can easily stroll to and from shows without needing a ride. The hotel’s peaceful setting minimizes late-night noise, giving you a comfortable spot to rest after the encore. Check-in starts at 3 PM, and with checkout at 11 AM, you’ve got plenty of time to sleep in after a late night. Plus, the 24-hour front desk means no worries if your event runs late.

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t feature an on-site restaurant, it offers a free hot breakfast, ideal after a night out. You're also within easy reach of several local spots for a post-show bite. Though room service isn’t available, nearby restaurants and fast-casual options make late dining a breeze.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is quiet and doesn’t host live entertainment, its location near downtown Murray means local bars, lounges, and low-key venues are just a short drive or walk away. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy the show, then retreat to somewhere peaceful.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

If you're looking for nightlife on-site or high-end dining options inside the hotel, this might not be the best fit. Also, while it’s close to campus, you’ll likely need a car or rideshare for exploring further restaurants or bars beyond walking distance.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers heading to Murray, this hotel delivers the perfect mix of location, comfort, and quiet recovery—all without breaking the bank.
