The Spotlight on Murray Inn and Art Gallery

Cozy, Convenient, and Packed with Local Charm

Just a mile from Murray State University, Murray Inn and Art Gallery blends budget-friendly comfort with a touch of artistic flair. With its traditional decor and convenient in-room amenities like a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker, this laid-back lodge makes a great base for exploring the local music and arts scene.
Located close to downtown Murray and just a short drive from Kentucky Lake and Land Between the Lakes, the hotel offers travelers a peaceful retreat with easy access to local attractions.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert attendees love the hotel’s quiet atmosphere and proximity to local venues, especially those on or near the Murray State University campus. Rooms are modest but clean and comfortable—perfect for crashing after a night of live music. The easy check-in from 2:00 PM is ideal for those arriving early for pre-show activities, and the 11:00 AM check-out gives you time to recover after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a clean, affordable place to stay
  • Solo travelers in town for a specific show
  • Couples enjoying a quiet weekend and a night of music
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from the party scene
  • Budget-conscious music fans who prefer value over frills

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each room comes with a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker—great for late-night leftovers or early-morning caffeine fixes. Several local diners and fast food options are within walking or short driving distance, and you’ll find breakfast spots nearby perfect for a lazy morning after a show.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is quiet, you’re just minutes from Murray’s downtown bars and lounges, many of which offer live music or local brews. It’s a great compromise for travelers who want to experience the nightlife but prefer to sleep somewhere peaceful.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and value for money. Many reviews highlight how quiet the rooms are, even when the hotel is fully booked. Travelers also mention how convenient the location is for events at Murray State University and nearby venues.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the decor is a bit dated, and there’s no on-site breakfast or bar. But most agree the comfort, cleanliness, and price more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

A great pick for music lovers wanting a quiet, affordable stay close to the action—without the noise (or price tag) of downtown.

Liked: I liked it was a fair stay!
Disliked: Breakfast was to start at 6 am and it didn't! I've stayed there before and had much better breakfasts. Anyone can go to Walmart. Our stay last time was better. Hard boiled eggs from the chickens out back!

Nice location but otherwise just...

Liked: the location was ideal
Disliked: Breakfast was lacking variety and seating was cramped. It was a struggle to get to the food, only to find it subpar. We skipped the second day.For 150 a night I expect much better in room and breakfast.

This place makes a bad...

Liked: The breakfast isn't fancy but it is more than adequate, and very healthy. There is fruit, juices, cereals both hot and cold, and other delightful items. There's sure to be something for everyone here!The staff are friendly, professional, and polite and very accommodating.The rooms are comfortable, super clean, and the beds are probably the best in any hotel we have ever stayed at. I was not sure if I was going to reveal this Secret to the world, and risk not being able to get a room next time, but, oh well, I guess everybody should know.. the best beds in the business and that's no joke.
Disliked: Absolutely nothing negative that I could possibly say. This wonderful family-owned Hotel knocks it out of the park every time! We've stayed here in the past, we loved her stay this time, and we will stay here in the future anytime we come to Murray Kentucky

Will no longer be recommending...

Liked: Location was the only good thing about the property
Disliked: The shower temperature knobs did not work. It was either scalding or cold. The tv did not work. The towel rod in the room was missing entirely. The place is not well kept.
