Hi there! I’m Danielle Rae Stoeck, Front Desk Supervisor at the Hotel Murano, and I’m very excited to be contributing to this blog. For me, a typical day includes checking guests in and out, serving as concierge, making reservations, resolving guest service issues and concerns. So this is another chance for me to help people feel welcome, even before they arrive in Tacoma.

I was born in Tacoma and raised in Puyallup. I’m the oldest of a family of 6 and have three younger brothers. I graduated from Emerald Ridge High School in 2004 and attended Washington State University for two years. After leaving WSU I moved to Seattle and worked at a salon for about a year. Needing a change of career and scenery I applied at the hotel (still as a Sheraton) and moved back down to Tacoma.

I love working here and will never forget how crazy the hotel was during the renovation process! Moving the front desk across the lobby, trying to check in guests, answer phones while being surrounded by jack hammering, retiling, putting together artwork and decor – phew! It was quite an experience but after all is said and done it turned out beautiful and it was great to be a part of the change.

Outside of work I enjoy working out, but my passion is running. I’ve run two triathlons and right now I’m training for a half-marathon. I enjoy sports, going out, shopping, going to concerts, crafting (scrapbooking) and going to the movies. I spend most of my time with my family, friends, and boyfriend.

So, when you visit the hotel, be sure to look me up. Chances are, I’ll be greeting you!

–Danielle
