Hotel Murano
Nice lobby but that’s is all the good I can say . The room has the bathroom fan falling from the ceiling , the faucet not attached , and the mirror had a big crack .. worst part of the stay was the noise from above us that was all night long ! Will not stay here again

Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center
Noisy! It sounded like dump trucks were driving in the floor above us. No recycling available and the waste baskets were so narrow nothing would easily fit in them. The lobby was messy when we arrived as some guests had their luggage open and strewn on the floor. Won't stay there again
