Hotel Murano

10/10 Excellent

"Too bad I am now of an age where I scarcely travel anymore, however, if I were to be in the Tacoma area, the breathtaking Hotel Murano would always get my business"

Emerald Queen Hotel and Casino - Tacoma

"Front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating. Room was clean and comfortable. Lots of space on our room. Felt the hot tub could have been warmer (personal preference) and wish they had restaurants available that you did not have to go through the casino."

Marriott Tacoma Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The facility and staff were exceptional and very supportive. I chose this property due to its proximity to my medical provider’s practice following a transplant procedure. Access to room and property was effortless. Was not able to enjoy the rest of the property due to my medical condition."

Tacoma Homestays

10/10 Excellent
