No Weight LimitHotel Murano Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Murano holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and for a dog owner weighing up a stay in Tacoma, that rating reflects a hotel that has clearly thought about what a travelling dog actually needs rather than simply tolerating one. Most rooms here are dog friendly, and with no weight or size limit imposed, you needn't worry whether your dog is the right shape or size to be welcomed through the door. There is a garden your dog can use, which is a genuine boon after a long drive, and the surrounding green spaces and parks give you plenty of options for proper walks, especially since staff will offer guidance on routes worth taking. The hotel is upfront about its pet policy before you book, so you can plan your stay knowing exactly where you stand rather than discovering restrictions on arrival.
Once you're settled in, the practical touches make a real difference to how easy the stay feels. Your dog gets a proper bed to sleep in and real food and water bowls rather than makeshift arrangements, and free treats are provided as a nice welcome gesture. You're allowed up to two dogs per room, which suits owners travelling with a pair rather than forcing a single-dog policy on you. Because dogs may be left alone in the room, you're not tied to your dog's side for the entire visit, giving you the freedom to nip out for dinner or explore the city without complication. That flexibility does come at a cost: expect to pay $30 per pet, per night as a dog fee, plus a $75 refundable damage deposit per stay, which is returned assuming there's no damage, so budget for both when working out the true cost of bringing your dog along.
Where this stay falls short is in the shared spaces: your dog cannot join you in the bar, the restaurant, the terrace or patio, or the lounge, so mealtimes and evening drinks will mean leaving your dog behind rather than including them. There's no dedicated dog space, no wash or shower area to deal with muddy paws after a walk, and no dog food, poop bags, toys or grooming available to buy or borrow, so you'll need to bring all of that yourself. There's also no dog-walking or dog-sitting service if you need help, no staff specifically trained for canine guests, and no emergency vet number on hand should things go wrong. The $75 deposit and $30 nightly fee are reasonable set against the garden, bed, bowls and treats, but steep if you were hoping for more structured support. This stay suits an independent, low-maintenance owner with a well-behaved dog who's happy to self-manage walks and mealtimes; those wanting an all-inclusive, staffed dog experience should look elsewhere.
