My stay at Taormina Hotel And Casino was mostly enjoyable, thanks to the friendly and helpful staff. I loved the master suite I stayed in, it was spacious and clean. However, I did notice the walls were paper thin, which made it hard to avoid some noise from neighbors. The casino wasn't great, but the restaurant served a superb beef tenderloin that I wouldn't hesitate to order again.
