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

The bed was hard. The sheets were a bit rough. The shower wasnt the best. The staff were amazing! The location was good. Overall, for the price, it could have been better quality.
