We stayed in the Garden House above the Man Cave after the Toby Keith concert. It was very clean and quiet, was well stocked with kitchen items and great coffee, and the beds were very comfortable. I left my iPad behind and called the owner when I arrived home. She put it in the mail for me the same day and I had it a day later. Great customer service! Oh, and Murphy's is an adorable town...highly recommend. read more

I had a great time visiting in Murphy's California. I had come there in June for my cousins wedding and I stayed at the Dunbar house my mom and sister were not able to join me for the wedding but when I got back home I kept telling them how cute the little town of Murphy's is and how friendly the people are and I promised them that I would bring them one day. Well we stayed there last week and we stayed at the Victoria Inn the staff is great the room was wonderful and we ate dinner at VBistro the food was delicious!! I am already looking forward to going back for another get away weekend. My mom, sister and aunt really enjoyed the little mini vacation and we all would do it all over again because it was just that nice!! read more

Victoria Inn - This Is Us enjoying family time - Hotels Near Me - Murphys, California

I should have read the reviews closer. For some reason, upon searching for reviews, I found mostly positive ones for this property. We booked a stay here Sunday to Monday in the "Anniversary Suite". The room itself was generally comfortable, but had major issues and in no way justified the price they charge. Amongst the issues: - Noise. The bar/restaurant wasn't a problem. The restaurant closing up and bottles being tossed into recycle bins after 9:30 at night for 5-10 minutes was. Paper thin walls. Had to close the bathroom door because every plumbing feature that went off near by, you heard the pipes. Street noise -- garbage day is apparently on Monday and that happens prior to 7am. While not the fault of the property, per say, the paper thin walls contributed to us hearing a baby screaming pretty much all night (even at 3:30am). - The blinds (or lack there of). The Anniversary Suite has a balcony. The property also has two bright white outdoor lights pointing up the roof back into the room. As other have stated, the room has no real blinds. I ended up finding a heavy blanket and tossing it over some of the windows to cut out the majority of the light. The room still wasn't suitably dark for a small town up in the mountains. Calls to the after hours front desk went unanswered. - The bed. The mattress was comfortable, but, well, better make sure the 6" gap between the mattress and the head board don't eat your pillow. - General dilapidation. It is pretty clear that the property owners/managers do not actually care about property upkeep. Furnishing that had giant rips in the upholstery get covered up with a blanket or heavy fabric. The shower tile could use cleaning. The molding around the upper part of the shower tile stood out 1/4 - 1/3 of an inch from the tile. Maybe to match the mattress not meeting the headboard. I mentioned the above upon checkout. The woman working the desk was apologetic, but the manager was surprisingly not around. I asked her to have him give me a call. It hasn't happened. I will not be returning to this property nor would I recommend it to anyone else. Maybe at 1/3 of the price, but not for what they charge. read more

We had a nice stay at the Victoria Inn. It was clean and quite. Nice that it is located in the center of town. Was able to park right in front. My only complaint is that no breakfast was offered. I understand covid makes this a little hard however what is a bed and breakfast without breakfast. I have been to other hotels recently that offer some sort of breakfast. It would be nice if some effort was made especially since Calaveras County is starting to lift some restrictions and allowing indoor dining. read more

While I had high hopes for this place, we were very disappointed with the overall quality of the inn while the price was quite high. We're came to Murphy's for a wedding, and this was supposed to be the nicest place to stay. While I'm OK with country charm and character, for $200/night I expect a few things. We stayed in room Doris, one of the nicer ones with a king bed. For one, it was very loud in our room. Between hearing street noise, the restaurant downstairs and just hallway noise our sleep and privacy were both disturbed all the time. Next, the bed, while it was a king it was not the most comfortable bed, the pillows were quite bad, and there wasn't even a mattress cover on there, the lines were this off white dingy color and just didn't feel crisp and clean, the blankets were this old duvets that you know are never washed and are a hygienic nightmare. The temperature to the room was controlled outside and it for some reason controlled several rooms, very inconvenient to deal with at night or frankly anytime. The bathroom was big, but the shower over the whirlpool tub was a bit trashy and there was lots of visible mold in the shower and jets, so forget actually using the tub. The handle for the hot water also was broken and fell off once. There is no phone or TV in the room, but there is wifi. The breakfast was basically continental so we didn't eat there and ate at the restaurant which is quite good, but when we booked it the description made it sound like a full breakfast was included. I've stayed in B&Bs where full breakfast was berries and omelets made to order, that's what I expected here. I'm not sure if this town has any better accommodations, but this place could be greatly improved with a remodel, it's a shame that in towns like this standards fall short. read more

The saying about being old and quaint I usually go for but old and not taken care of is another thing. The hotel is very over priced for what you receive. No televelvison, and the patio over looks the restaurant so you feel like the entertainment for the diners below. Even when you are inside you can hear all of the conversation below. The parking is bad too. You will get a better deal if you stay at the Travel Lodge in Angel Camp. The hotel is in a great location in the center of town. Easy to walk to great food and wine tasting. Murphy's is an awesome little town. read more

I stayed in the Doris suite and it was really nice, the hotel is right on Main Street around everything. The Doris suite is right above the bar/restaurant so there is noise from that but it closes down fairly early so it wasn't a problem for us. There's a nice patio and a giant jacuzzi tub that can fit two comfortably. The only thing that I disliked was Parking, there is a small lot but for the hotel however it's all taken by visitors so we had to circle and find parking. Would love it if the hotel would maybe put reserved with a room number so there is dedicated parking for the hotel guest. Overall enjoyed my stay and the Inn and the staff was very nice and accommodating read more

Amazing! Immaculate! Very friendly staff, loved both restaurants. Great cocktails btw. The Anniversary Room 2 was awesome. . We will return for sure. What a cool town! Don't forget to visit Big Trees! Don't miss The Pourhouse Brewery in town. Also enjoyed Gounds and The Murphy's Hotel for dinner. read more

We have stayed here three times and have enjoyed our stay each and every time! Great location, wonderful V restaurant and V bistro, on the property grounds and wonderful service from the women at the check in desk. The rooms are very clean and each room is nicely decorated. Thanks for a great stay! read more

Great customer service. The Sweet-water room was very cute, the tub next to the bed was a nice touch. Walking distance to everything to keep you busy. Will be staying again read more

Had lunch here with a group Of 9. Service was a little slow but well worth it! Had the fish and chips and Mac and cheese...Delicious! The staff is great. The French pear is a most flavor-able cocktail ever!!! read more

The owner of the Inn needs to seriously invest some money in upgrading that facility. Lets not confuse "charming and quaint" with "old, worn out and cheap". This was the first time I have had to share the temperature control of our bedroom with three other guest rooms. The control panel was in the hallway and anyone could chose whatever suited them for all 4 bedrooms! Never seen that in my entire life. Of course the air conditioning could not keep up and we were told the following morning that it was "broke".This was not a confortable way to spend a night. The red carpeting in the stairs and narrow hallways was stained and dirty and in dire need of changing. By mistake, I took a wrong turn and found myself in another staircase leading out and that was the service entrance/exit of the houskeeping, I suppose. It was full of leaves, dirt and debris. A sight to behold. The said housekeeping left a bit to be desired in our room; found wrappers under the small armchair, a big orange vitamin tablet (?) under the bed at the edge of the torn bedskirts.  Which brings me to the bedding: isnt it time to change the old old mattress instead of putting a topper that was sliding off it and we could not straighten it? Again not a confortable way to spend the night. We had a tiny room with a balcony that had not been swept at all. It was full of leaves.  Ants had made a trail inside the bedroom. I found several in the bed, on the wall and the hostess gave me ant bait to stick on the balcony.  We could not enjoy the balcony; "Skyview" (the name of our room) has no view: a partial view of a neglected garden next door, the wall of a house in front, view of the Inn back porch with huge bags (laudry?), garbage etc,  and the hot fumes spewed by the restaurants below. We did not sit there at all. I pass over details like no parking, no screen on window, and no room to put your toiletries in the bathroom although it is definitely large and roomy enough. What gives? it should be an easy fix. This was a surprisingly disappointing facility. read more

Very disappointed the room was nice. However they put us in the sweet water room. We were right over the courtyard could hear right through the walls. Laughing and talking till late. Bed was very uncomfortable every time my husband or my self moved we woke up the other. In the morning we were woken by the other room turn on the water I assume to take a shower. Sounder like a waterfall above our heads. We not be going back. read more

Love the high ceilings in this thoughtfully appointed room. If you stay when it's hot, be sure to leave the room AC on so it will be cool when you return otherwise, the little unit won't be sufficient to cool down the room and you will have to sleep with it running all night. The bed was firmer than we like, but the linens were very nice and the room was very clean and had a really good feel. Cami checked us in and she was super nice and very helpful. We felt very welcome here even during these challenging times. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to staying here in the future. read more

Looks like cheapness is setting in... We love visiting Murphy's and have stayed here several times, but seems like Victoria's is really cutting corners these days. This is definitely an upscale place - excellent continental breakfast, free cookies and very nicely appointed rooms. Which is what has kept us coming back. However, this time we found in our room: dirty carpet, moldy shower grout, dirt on the walls especially around the air vent, mis-matched light bulbs in the room and hallway. Next morning towels weren't even picked up or replaced, wi-fi was free but hit-and-miss - I could go on. I will say breakfast was still stellar. It's the details that make the difference between an average stay vs an upscale experience. Upscale rates need to reward with upscale room and guest care. Hope they get their "you know what" together... read more

Wife and I needed a quick get a way on short notice. Never been to Murphy's CA before. About 1.5 hour drive. Loved the town. We chose the Veranda to stay at. Awesome choice! It's a private "studio" on the 2nd story of a small building. Nice Mexican restaurant occupies the first floor. The Veranda was bigger than we expected. Full kitchen and living room with a nice balcony too. Fireplace was a nice touch. Nice king bed around the corner and the bathroom was nice as well. We will be back again for sure. We spent 1 day at big tree city walking around admiring the gigantic sequoia trees. Never seen trees that big in my life. We ate at a different restaurant each meal. Each one was great. The small ice cream shop is incredible as well. Even with all the COVID 19 restrictions we still enjoyed ourselves. Also, have to give a shout out to Marjorie from the Victorian. She's the lady that answered the phone and runs the front desk. She is amazing! read more

What an amazing place to spend a weekend. We came up following thanksgiving, expecting everything to be booked. We were pleasantly surprised, not just at the price, but the amazing attention to detail that is put into the Inn. Lisa was great at check-in. The rooms are so beautiful, with excellent bedding and a very historic yet, accommodating feel. We will absolutely be returning. read more

I always have a wonderful stay, we have stayed in most of their homes or condos. I highly recommend for a weekend getaway

As usual Shirley was there to greet us when we checked in. Our room (9) was very spacious with a small sitting area. Love that they have automatic coffee pots in lobby area for early risers like my husband. He is able to get his coffee and drink it on the little balcony of our room without disturbing me. We have been coming to the Victoria inn for 5+ years and have never been disappointed by the inn, local restaurants, shops, or Murphy's in general. read more

This hotel was perfect for us. Centrally located and within walking distance to everything. The lady that checked us in was wonderful. The gal at the bar downstairs was so full of energy and so welcoming. We would stay here again and again. We stay here two to three times a year. Would not stay anywhere else. Clean, great location and front desk staff always pleasurable. Thumbs up!! read more

We had a great time at Dana Dee for a girls night getaway. Booking, checking in and out all so simple. Dana Dee has all the kitchen staples you need, a wonderful balcony, and was very clean. We parked our car upon arrival and due to its convenient location walked to lunch, wine tasting and breakfast the next morning. We will definitely be back! read more

Really nice place. The welcome was fantastic, very friendly. Our room was beautiful and had all we needed. Best part might have been the fresh chocolate chip cookies in the hall. Outstanding. read more

Rocky Mountain Chateau was fabulous. Roomy close to town, quiet. Modern and sweet.

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. We stayed at a property managed by this company over the weekend. On Friday night/Saturday morning, sometime after midnight, a man walked INTO our house, INTO the kitchen, through the back door without knocking. We had a house full of women. He claimed he was the owner and we were being too loud. Turns out he didn't own the home, he owns the company that was managing it. Fast forward to Saturday around 6pm when we just got home, and had been gone all day, this man shows up outside of the house, sitting in his car harassing us. We had to call 911 as we feared for our safety. We can completely understand if we were being too loud, as we had 8 friends from different states and cities reunited and were honestly just so happy to see each other and having a great time! Call the cops so they can tell us to be quiet, no problem. Call my phone to tell us we're being too loud, no problem! But to walk INTO a home in the middle of the night, through the back door, without knocking or calling is 100% unacceptable. The police called the actual home owner and they allowed us to stay, and the cops told Michael (the property management owner) to leave. Michaels lack of professionalism and common sense single handedly ruined our vacation and this is not taken lightly. We spoke with other business owners in the area, and turns out Michael is known to be "nuts" and "everyone knows he's crazy." SO THAT'S COMFORTING. We're all back at our homes now and safe, but this is something that needs to be known, especially with Murphys being such a small town. The one positive experience we did have with the company was a worker named Samantha, who was a kind, understanding human being. She took no side, but empathized knowing how terrifying that must have been. read more

I love coming here to stay. My first stay was for my sisters wedding. The rooms are all different. All of them are charming, unique, cozy and comfortable. This is now my go to place to stay when visiting Murphy's. Pretty much my whole family stayed here and the Dunbar House and both were outstanding. Just spent the weekend there for my anniversary and enjoyed the quiet rooms and yummy breakfast!! I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Great getaway for my husband's birthday weekend. We stayed in the Wisteria Cottage. Nice and quiet and no TV so got away from all the COVID-19 news which was a great stress reliever. Put on our CDs and enjoyed relaxing in the evening. Check-in was seamless and they suggested great restaurants to try (all were fabulous). It was rainy and they loaned us their huge umbrellas so that we could still enjoy the walking tour of the town. read more

The Victoria Inn is the only place to stay in Murphy's. The customer service is outstanding. And we love that the price is fixed, no wild increases for event weekends. We always rent one of the vacation rentals. The properties are so comfortable and well equipped. When the town quiets down in the evening we have a comfortable retreat! The Dove Nest is our home away from home. Check them out! You won't be sorry! read more

We stayed at Mimi's Place and it is the perfect spot to stay! I would definitely recommend for a girls trip or a couples trip. Very convenient location and the place is adorable! There are 2 bedrooms, both with full bathrooms. There is also a balcony. I have also stayed at the Veranda which is next door and super cute as well, but Mimi's is much more spacious. read more

From beginning to end we had a great experience at the Victoria Inn. We found everyone at the hotel, and around town generally, to be incredibly friendly and hospitable. Check in was easy and check out was easy. We stayed in The Doris room #7. The room was good size with a king bed. The bathroom was large with a HUGE jetted tub. The balcony, while small, was more than adequate. Breakfast was more than expected. Michael was making breakfast and it included hot oatmeal, bagel and lox, freshly baked scones and apple turnovers, coffee, juice, and various other items. Based on our stay we will be more than happy to stay again. After we had breakfast we spoke with Michael about our plans for the day that we checked out. They included hiking in nearby Big Trees. He was kind enough to offer us to stop back in at the hotel on our way back home for a quick stop to use the restroom or just take a break. We were very impressed by his kindness. Our only INCREDIBLY tiny, mostly minuscule, inconvenience was not knowing how to get in after hours. Thankfully someone in the restaurant was able to help. The only reason I'm even mentioning it is for someone planning on staying in the near future to be sure to ask if it's not mentioned. And to all of those people complaining about there not being televisions in the room... GET OVER IT!!!! It's not as if they advertise of there being TV's in the rooms. For goodness sakes, find a way to entertain yourself that doesn't include a television. read more

Darling Inn AND rooms. We were in town for an event, so did not get back to our room until late, so we picked one of their smallest rooms, but got to see a suite the next morning. If you plan on hanging out it the room, you probably want a little larger room than we had, and the suite we saw was spectacular. The plus was that we had a balcony, although the suite had a lovely window seat AND a balcony. read more

Right in the center of town. The rooms are a step back in time. No TV which was nice. The restaurant bar was excellent. The staff pleasant and very helpful. Worth the drive. read more

This has to be the greatest hotel in town. The rooms are beautiful and the outside is also nice. The owner is very kind and Tony was also very nice. They took great care of us. We had a wonderful romantic trip. The location is the best and easy to access all of the restaurants on Main Street. The continental breakfast was huge with many choices. The town is full of friendly people and nice to tourists. I highly recommend this place! read more

Can't say enough amazing things about this place. My husband and I came up on a Friday for a Saturday night concert and we just had the best two nights. I am all about customer service and the front desk staff were so friendly, kind and very attentive. It just makes a huge difference when people take the time to give a warm, caring welcome. I felt like I was staying in their home and they wanted us to really relax and enjoy ourselves. I'm not sure what room we had(the name)it was on the bottom floor #15 and it was perfect. Cozy bed, and the back patio was darling and we enjoyed sitting out there drinking wine. Plus the restaurant attached is also yummy and staff was just as amazing We will be back! read more

This is the best hotel in town! We very much enjoyed our stay in this romantic hotel. Tony was incredibly kind. They read the notes in our reservation and made our trip extra special. We had a few special occasions to celebrate. They are in a prime location next to restaurants and wine tasting rooms. The huge bath was perfect to relax in and the bed was comfortable. In addition to a clean and comfortable room, there was a cute little patio where we sat and enjoyed the fresh air. There was also a sports saloon across the way where we watched the game and a yummy artisan ice cream parlor next door. We had dinner within walking distance as well. For breakfast, they offered a continental breakfast. They provided gluten free and dairy free options!! That was definitely a huge plus. The owner was the one putting out the breakfast and paid special attention to make the best experience for his guests. We will definitely be back in the near future. I highly recommend this place and told my friends/family about it! Thank you to Tony, management team, and staff! read more

I'm extremely disappointed in this business from a purely human perspective. I don't often post very negative reviews but it is my hope that the business owner might change how they interact with someone in need. On my way to a neighboring town we stopped in Murphy's to check with the Victoria Inn to see if we could charge our Tesla for 10-15 minutes just so we could get to Angels Camp about 10 miles down the road. Due to the extreme heat we were down to 11 miles left and that's just cutting it so close. When I asked if I could plug in for just 10 minutes to get a few extra miles and make it to my destination I was told that it would be a $20 plug in fee. I'm sure they probably get asked all the time and I know that must be frustrating but to charge $20 for maybe 50 cents worth of electricity is shameful. I offered to stay there so that they'd know I truly only would be plugged in for no more than 15 minutes but they wouldn't budge. I hope I make it to my destination but on principle there's no way I can support a business that has no heart and no interest in helping someone that needs a hand. read more

5 stars for a friendly and accommodating staff. So much that it's sad to give them a poor review. 0 stars for a mattress that sagged and caused us to ache all day... won't stay there again because of the terrible mattress. 2 stars for maintenance and cleaning: The room was in need of a Spring cleaning, paint was very much in need of touching up, the stopper in the bathroom sink was not working, and the BA door had screw hole from where the missing robe hook used to be. read more

Stayed here over our wedding weekend.... We arrived after hours and the staff was super nice and left the key in a box for us. I'll admit, my first response was "where'd they hide the tv? Does it pop out of this table?" But after I got over the shock of no tv (I know, total loser...) I was in LOVE We had a ginormous spa tub, and I could have spent the whole weekend in it if I didn't have to go get married. The bed was big and fluffy with a little curtain that separated it from the rest of the cute room...which was in fact, super cute. It had a little kitchen-ish area with fresh coffee and a little fridge, wine glasses (so vital if in Murphys) and a nice stereo with ipod dock. We enjoyed coffee and pastries on our little porch while listening to the fountain and enjoying a beautiful Murphys morning. The location can't be beat if you're in Murphys for the weekend. This is your place. Super romantic (especially since there is no tv...) read more

Okay, so here's the deal with why this gets three stars instead of one. We made a reservation to stay here for two nights. When we arrived, a woman named Toni was behind the desk. She was listening to her voice mail on speaker phone and held up her finger for us to wait until she was done. We waited until she finished what she was doing. She proceeded to check us into our room with a fairly cold demeanor. I asked her questions about where to eat in town since it was Monday and a lot of restaurants are closed on Mondays. She could not have been less helpful. Then I asked where to get a pedicure in town. This is a nice B&B. In my mind, the appropriate thing to do is for to have asked if she could make an appointment for me. She didn't. She sighed and looked up a number for me. She also sighed when I went back down and asked for two wine glasses and an opener. She also sighed and shrugged when my girlfriend told her we were not getting the promised "free wi-fi" in our room. She told her "Well, I don't know anything about that," when she could have at least said "I'll look into it for you." At that point, we were so exasperated that we didn't bother telling her that our balcony didn't have chairs on it--we just went and stole two from another room. Oh yeah, and with the exception of one other room, all of the other rooms were empty for the night, so it's not like Toni was overwhelmed or anything. So, onto why this is getting three stars though. The next morning, we went downstairs to tell them that we would be checking out early and not staying a second night. The owner was there and asked us if we were displeased with our room. I told him a little bit about our disappointment in the service, and he immediately offered to comp us for the next night's stay, even upgrading us to their best room. It was an incredibly generous thing to do and very good business on his part. And though we appreciated his offer, we were sort of soured on the place and opted to head back home that day anyway. Before we left, the owner gave us a certificate for a free night's stay the next time we were in town. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was huge. I dug on the claw-foot tub. It was a cute little place, and we were very impressed with how the owner chose to deal with our dissatisfaction. I would give this place another shot based on that, but only if Toni's not working the desk. There's also what looks like a tasty and fairly upscale restaurant attached the B&B but it was Monday, so it was closed. read more
