Hotel Murano

Hotel Murano

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay at McMenamins Elks Temple! The rooms are definitely quirky and full of character, which made the experience feel unique and memorable. There is so much to explore throughout the property, from the hidden details to the different bars and gathering spaces. I also just got my McMenamins Passport, which made the visit even more fun—I'm excited to come back and collect more stamps. A great place for a weekend getaway or staycation!"
