First of all, don't go to Tacoma unless you have to. The downtown is a dump and there's really nothing to do there except see museums. Downtown is all banks and therefore it's a ghost town outside of 9-5, M-F. However, if you have to be in Tacoma, I strongly suggest the Hotel Murano. The Hotel is basically a glass... more

Very comfortable and nicest hotel in Tacoma by a landslide. more

We arrived at almost 3am and the staff was quick and friendly about getting us our room. more

A one night stay was not nearly enough time to enjoy Hotel Murano! It is a museum of glass in and of itself - simply stunning. We loved the comfort and the convenience to the Foss Waterway museums via the Dale Chilhuly Footbridge. The light rail is one block from the hotel and a free ride to the footbridge at... more

Beautiful room. Nice view. Comfy beds and you can choose many different types of pillows! Excellent breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Our room key wouldn't work in the elevators for the floors above where we were staying, and we wanted to see all the art, so the front desk clerk gave us a special key and a guidebook to all... more

The area is undergoing a re-invention of itself. There is limited restaurants and little shopping within walking distance. There is transportation to the Tacoma Dome. The rooms... more

We stayed at the Hotel Murano on our wedding night. We also recommended our out of town guests stay there. Everyone was incredibly happy. The staff was very accommodating and didn't know how to say no. They took incredible care of our guests and us while we were staying there. We will be back hopefully many times. more

My spouse and other family members traveled to the Tacoma area to visit a family member who's in the Army at Ft. Lewis and who's getting ready to deploy for a second tour of duty to Iraq. We stayed at Hotel Murano for 4 nights and were very pleased with the hotel. The hotel itself was very clean, modern, and... more
