My stays are typically 11 nights. I often use the Murphy bed even if I am solo. The headboard feels more comfortable for me to read in bed (I have to read at least 30 minutes in order to fall asleep) and I am a huge Pluto fan, so I like seeing the artwork. Also, the regular bed is just a mattress on a platform and the mattress has a tendency to slide around a little when getting in and out. The Murphy has a little frame around the mattress that keeps it in place better. Having slept in both, I can say the comfort of the bed itself is virtually identical.
