We discovered Sunset Motel a couple of years ago and couldn’t be happier. Our stays with a large hotel chain are a thing of the past. Here, staff strive to accommodate your every need and make you feel welcome. The rooms are exceptionally clean and the linens get changed every day - something others only provide upon request. We will not stay anywhere else while visiting Murphy, NC
