|Wow – we have stayed at this hotel several times, as we like to frequent the casino in Murphy. Oftentimes, we get free rooms directly at the casino, but we really like the convenience of staying at the Stonebrook Lodge. Unfortunately, we will never be back…|Last weekend, we checked in and the room key did not work, we walked down to the desk for another key, and it did not work either. So, once again we went back down for another key, and luckily one of these keys worked. So, we laid our luggage down and headed to the casino. |Around 2:00am, we returned to the hotel and guess what………….the key did not work. We went downstairs for another key, and it did not work either. So, the nice lady at the desk walked with us up to our room to try a new key, and it failed as well. Fortunately, she secured us another room, so that my wife could go to bed. Unfortunately, I had to wait because our luggage was trapped in the room. So, I literally sat on the floor in the hallway outside the room, while she tried to help me gain access to the room. Ultimately, after about 30 minutes, she located a a screwdriver to remove and replace the batteries. Thankfully this worked, and I was able to get our luggage, head to the new room and finally go to sleep.|The next morning, my wife asked the new lady at the desk to comp our room for the inconvenience, and was quickly told, “Take 10% or nothing!” Her justification was, “well, there was nothing wrong with the new room we put you in.” Literally, she had zero concern for our inconvenience & frustration. Imagine, after all of that, we were insulted by the 10% discount, and were treated as if we were the ones who were inconveniencing them! |Due to their attitude, they have forfeited thousands of dollars from us, and we will no longer recommend the Stonebrook Lodge as a better option than the...

This charming 3-star hotel, located at 300 Casino Parkway, exudes a rustic ambiance with its stone-accented lobby, cozy fireplace, and inviting seating areas. From the moment I arrived, the warm welcome from the friendly staff set the tone for a relaxing stay.The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully equipped with modern amenities like air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and coffee machines. My king room, with its plush bedding and mountain views, provided a serene escape after a day of exploring. The free Wi-Fi was reliable, perfect for staying connected, and the continental breakfast, served from 6:30 to 9:30 AM, offered a satisfying variety of pastries, cereals, and fresh coffee. While I wished for some fresh fruit, the breakfast area’s cozy vibe made mornings enjoyable.Stonebrook’s proximity to Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino, just a short walk away, is a major draw for those seeking entertainment. Yet, the hotel remains tranquil, free from casino noise, making it ideal for both adventure-seekers and those craving peace. Nearby attractions like the Murphy River Walk and Great Smoky Mountains National Park offer endless outdoor activities, from hiking to fishing. With free parking, a seasonal outdoor pool, and a 24-hour front desk, Stonebrook Lodge delivers exceptional value. I highly recommend it for a memorable Murphy getaway and can’t...
