Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto

8/10 Good

"The property was very nice. Only had minor issues: 1) I use a walker and we were assigned a room about as far away from the elevator as possible. 2) shower floor is very slippery and 3) I bought a glass of wine in the casino and was not allowed to take it to my room????"
