Cute motel with great service.
They do a great job keeping the place very clean and nicely decorated. Great location with walking distance to town attractions and shopping. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels left neatly wrapped. The walls are a little thin for noise transfer, but overall a nice experience.

Best accommodations around!
It was our first stay at the Sunset Motel. We’ve traveled to Murphy, NC often and had stayed at various hotels. We wish we had stayed at the Sunset Motel for every visit! Very clean and nicely decorated. The staff was very friendly. And the complimentary breakfast basket was wonderful. Highly recommend!
