Casa Loma Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall it was quite good and acceptable for a few days of stay. It also is situated in a good neighborhood and close to stores, restaurants and some touristy places. The beds are comfortable and the staff was helpful too A few other things: the Wi-Fi is quite unstable and not very fast, the streets beside the hotel can get very noisy if one goes to sleep early or wakes up late and there also seems to be low water pressure in the sink and shower"

CASABLANCA- Grand Edwardian View Home

10/10 Excellent

"This exquisite home was every bit as special as it looks in the photos. Our son was getting married at the Academy of Science and this was the perfect place for our family to spend the weekend. My husband set up a workstation in the dining room and happily worked all weekend. The beds were comfortable and the showers were a spa-like treat. The host was responsive to our questions and we had no issues during our stay. To note, it is difficult to find parking in the area, but there were 2 spots with the house. The house and host deserve all the 5-star ratings!"
