Hotel Murano

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is adequate but old and tired. The bathroom floor in our room needed attention. The room faced a busy street, and there was street noise during the night."

Lovely Tacoma Cottage w/ Fire Pit, Near Dtwn!

6/10 Okay

"The space itself was great. Just as described in the listing. The main reason I rated a 3 is the fact that the shower plumbing was not working. The first night it back up around my ankles. In the morning there was still water in the tub so I contacted the “guest services” information I was given (I believe it’s their local cleaner). The response I received was this was a known issue and they had hoped it would not happen during my stay. They attempted to find a plumber to fix it and were unable to do so. I stayed from Sunday to Wednesday and was not able to use the shower beyond the first night. Hopefully they fix the issue before they rent it again. "

Hotels near other University of Puget Sound attractions

One of my favorite coffee shops in Washington, Metronome offers a cool vibe, weekly concerts and open mic nights, local artwork, a fireplace in the winter, garage door and outdoor seating in the summer, pancakes and cereal (!!!), beer, wine, local artisanal baked goods and pastries, great music, friendly staff, free wifi, and of course INCREDIBLE coffee and a team who knows how to make a quality custom drink. Try the fun seasonal flavored lattes and mochas, and make sure to try something called a "shazbot," you won't be disappointed.
