Murray Premises is an older building / hotel. The walls are thin and noise carries from other rooms in the hotel. We had the unfortunate experience of having another guest yelling in their room until 130am with a flight out at 6am the next day. I had to call the front desk to complain about the other room and they were able to get them to quiet down but not until 2am or so. The bed wasn't that comfortable and I've had softer sheets in the hospital. Location is incredible. Staff were friendly. If you need a place to stay walking distance to downtown, This is an option. I would pack ear plugs if you're a light sleeper
