Very disappointing stay after a great first stay last time.....STILL have not received my deposit back and its been 16 days since i checked out, but the managed to take $86 in parking fees when I very clearly stated I would not.
My stay at Hotel Murano for New years from December 31, 2024, to January 3, 2025, was extremely disappointing. Despite the beautiful decor in the lobby and upstairs areas, my experience was overshadowed by rude staff, hidden fees, poor cleanliness, and ignored concerns.
**The Issues:**
1. **Hidden Parking Fees:**
I was not informed of the $26 per night parking fee when booking. Hotel Murano only offers one parking lot; otherwise, you must park on the street, which is free only from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., requiring daily car relocations. As someone with severe asthma, this was impossible for me.
When I texted the staff before my stay, they were dismissive, telling me to check the "Frequently Asked Questions." When I suggested this fee should be clearly disclosed during booking, they stopped responding. I emailed the manager one or two days before my stay but received no reply before, during, or after my stay.
Forced to pay $78 for parking over three days, my partner parked on the street and had his car broken into, losing all his belongings, including a suitcase.
2. **Unclean Room:**
The room was not cleaned properly. There was glass on the carpet and under the bathroom sink, which I discovered when I dropped my makeup. The coffee maker was moldy, making it unusable, and as someone with asthma, this posed a health risk.
3. **Dirty Lounge:**
The lounge was dirty and unstocked despite multiple complaints. I paid extra for lounge access, yet the conditions were unacceptable, there was literally a giant pot of cereal in the drawer? Amongst a huge mess 2+ days straight.
The Staff:*
The front desk staff were dismissive and even gossiped about my friend and me within earshot.
I am also confused as to why I paid for three nights when the offer I was sent was buy 2 get 1 night free? Was also supposed to be comped for not having room service all three days and never was.
