"Wonderful home just outside Murray Kentucky and right on Kentucky Lake. Great pier for swimming and hanging out. Gorgeous sun rise views! Home was stocked for everything we needed. Plenty of room for this family of four.There were a bunch of steps to get down to lake. Just bring a cooler with you!"

Quality Inn Murray University Area

8/10 Good

"My stay here wasn't bad, but the hallway and room I was in had a terrible smell, so much to the point that I went to Walmart and bought a tart warmer to use while I was there. I assume that was a temporary problem. Other than that it was a great place to stay. The staff was helpful and even let me check in an hour early when I arrived in town earlier than expected. I was in Murray to help my daughter move and there was a lot available at this hotel where I could park the uhaul truck. I'd probably stay here again."

8/10 Good

"Very clean and kitchen well stocked."
