Met some friends in San Jose

I met up with some friends in the Taormina for a week and had a good time seeing them and the new jungle bar is a plus to the hotel.

The casino had a wide range of gambling options and the 24hr bar has a lot of "social butterflies" to engage with.

4/10 Fair

It was a pleasurable experience until I seen an extra $20.55 charge to my bank account that was not approved by me and I have no idea what it is for.
Alton, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Only travel there if you’re a single male. Ac didn’t work properly. Kept shutting off. Also my room key would quit working at least once a day so that was annoying. But most of the staff were very friendly. Food was decent, a little expensive but good. Location is good.
