Murphys Historic Hotel & Lodge

  • Price range: ¢-$$
  • Location: Murphys

Fodor's Review:

This 1855 stone hotel, whose register has seen the signatures of Mark Twain and the bandit Black Bart, figured in Bret Harte's short story "A Night at Wingdam." Accommodations are in the hotel and a modern motel-style addition. The older rooms are furnished with antiques, many of them large and hand carved. The hotel has a convivial old-time restaurant ($-$$$) and saloon, which can be noisy into the wee hours. Pros: Loads of historical ambience, great bar, smack in the middle of downtown. Cons: Dated, creaky.

  • Hotel Details: 29 rooms, 20 with bath
  • In-hotel: restaurant, bar.
  • Credit Cards: AE, D, DC, MC, V
