This is an expensive place to staybut as the IOM sadly lacks good hotels it's alright if you don't expect the four stars it's rated at.
The rooms are away from the body of the hotel and are alright if not basic.
The non-smoking ban doesn't apply and food if eaten in the tatty bar is at risk of being covered in smoke and fumes as is anyone sitting in the only comfy chairs by reception. For it's size it has no residents lounge.
A boring, tatty, run down place and not deserving it's four stars.

Have recent stayed 2 nights at this hotel. I don't think the Isle of Man is famed for it's hotels but this is probably one of the better ones. The hotel is slightly dated but the staff were friendly and the health club was very good. I had only one meal in the sports bar whilst I was there which was quite good. Having heard from People who live on the Island about other places to stay I would probably come back to this hotel the next time I'm back on business.

Beware of this hotel! I contracted food poisoning, (campylo bacta) at this hotel. I have had to stay there whilst working on the Island and havent had good experiences! The best thing about this hotel is the health club! The rooms are dirty, old and in need of renovation, they are really noisy too. I found some of the staff friendly but others let them down with their rude and unhelpful attitude. There is a high turnover of staff as they gain work experience and move on. The chef's are constantly changing and the food cooked is never the same one day to the next. The breakfast is poor, cheap food and cold!! On numerous occassions I have found a hair in my food and so have 2 of my other colleagues. I contracted food poisoning through uncooked chicken at this hotel!!! Beware, if you can stay elsewhere!!!

We stayed at Mount Murray Hotel for 4 nights and were really made to feel welcome by the friendly staff. The rooms were large and the whole place had an up-market country club feel. The health club is huge by hotel standards with a large indoor pool and we enjoyed one round of golf on the course, which had great views but was a long walk! Definately the best place to stay on the Isle of Man.
