Hotel Murano

8/10 Good

"THE ROOM WAS VERY NICE, CLEAN AND THE VIEW WAS AMAZING. HOWEVER, I DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE TO PAY ($30) FOR PARKING AFTER PAYING OVER $300 FOR A ROOM, WHY WOULD THAT NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE ROOM? THE CONCERGIE ROOM ON 25TH FLOOR ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF FIG BARS AND GRANOLA BAR; HOW OFTEN IS THIS ROOM REPLENISHED? THE ICE MACHINE DOES NOT WORK, SO HAD TPO GO DOWN TO NEXT FLOOR TO GET ICE. TRIED TO CALL THE FRONT DESK, I FINALLY HUNG UP AFTER 10 RINGS WITH NO ANSWER, SAME THING WITH THE FOOD BUTTON ON PHONE. TRIED TO GET ROOM SERVICE, WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT PROVIDE IT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A RESTAURANT. THE ELEVATOR MAKES CLICKING NOISE ALL NIGHT LONG."

Hilton Garden Inn Tacoma Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I was surprised how quiet the hotel was. Sleep like a baby! I will say the person above was heavy footed but at least they didn’t walk around when I was sleeping."

1904 home near Tacoma dome & convention center Pet friendly

10/10 Excellent

The Nook - Art-Filled 3BR Tacoma • NearWright Park + Free Parking

8/10 Good

"The house was in good shape. Host was very communicative. Location is not great at all. Tons of homeless sleeping right across the street. Right next to a hospital so you’re hearing sirens all night and right off a main road so road noise in general can be heard at all hours."

Lovely converted Victorian home unit 1

"Very nice place, clean and comfortable. TV and internet connectivity were great and easy to use."

Modern Elegance in the Heart of Downtown Tacoma | King Bed + Parking + AC

10/10 Excellent

"ADORED every single thing about this property! From the stunning, snow-capped peak (mountain view) out the building front door to the perfect bed and ideal shower pressure…it was divine. For a downtown CITY stay, it was surprisingly quiet! The parking spot made the whole trip a breeze with no worries, as did the dishwasher and the private washer/dryer. Everything was spacious and SO CLEAN. Met a few friendly neighbors and (sadly, only once) the absolutely gorgeous cat Merlin, next door…looked liked an exotic type, with a very friendly owner. LOVED the 2-taco plate at the fun Red Star restaurant located so conveniently right on the ground floor of the building. And the location was exquisitely perfect. I fall in love with Tacoma a little more each visit, and given a choice, I’d ALWAYS want to stay at one of Jenell’s gems of properties. Feel so lucky to know about Corporate Condo Collection!"
