Hotel Murano

10/10 Excellent

"Best value in the Northwest!"

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

8/10 Good

"We were warmly greeted by the friendly front desk staff upon arrival. They even offered warm chocolate chip cookies, which were especially appreciated after a very long day of driving. We had originally booked a different room but decided to upgrade for an additional $20. Upon doing our usual spot check with a black light, we were somewhat surprised to find that the 2 two older hotels we had stayed at just prior, appeared to be much cleaner. That said, the room itself was very spacious, comfortable, and provided plenty of room to relax. We also enjoyed a meal at the restaurant downstairs. One thing we couldn’t help but notice was that we were seated separately from the main dining area, while other guests who appeared more casually dressed were seated there. It left us with the impression that appearances may have influenced seating decisions, which was disappointing. Thankfully, Johnny, our server, completely changed the tone of our evening. He provided what can only be described as five-star service. His enthusiasm, efficiency, and genuine friendliness made our dining experience memorable. He consistently checked to ensure our needs were met and even took the time to engage in a pleasant conversation, asking where we were from and getting to know us a little. His hospitality was outstanding and made us feel truly welcome. Thank you, Johnny, for helping make our 40th Anniversary celebration more special. Your kindness and professionalism did not go unnoticed."

10/10 Excellent

"Nicest Beat Western I’ve ever stayed at. Tacoma in general can be sketchy, and I’ve stayed at some decent hotels but the area was too sketchy. This hotel, the area is downtown Tacoma, many homeless in the area. But the locked gated parking garages were really nice, no worries about broken windows. Room was really clean. Would definitely stay again!"
