Top Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hotel Murano

Hotel Murano

10/10 Excellent
"This was my first time stay at Hotel Murano and I loved it. The room was clean. It was the middle of a heat wave but the AC worked great. The bed was SUPER comfortable. All the staff we interacted with were incredibly friendly, especially the restaurant and bar staff. I wish I had gotten their names so I could shout them out, but just know that the restaurant and bar are worth a stop in for the service and the food! My only complaint is that parking is kind of expensive- $30 a day- but there was plenty of it and it was better than having to find street parking. I’ve been to the Seattle-Tacoma a number of times and think this will be my new go-to to stay when I’m in the area!"
