I recently stayed twice at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel across from Toronto Pearson’s Terminal 3 before some early morning flights from Pearson. The hotel has been recently refurbished and renovated so I thought it was worth a review. How I booked my stay: Both of my visits were in the …
The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas are located on Maui’s western coast along Kaanapali Beach. I booked two 2 bedroom suites for 10 nights at this hotel using my parents’. vacation rental weeks which we haven’t used in ages due to the pandemic. It’s a long story but they pretty much …

After checking out of the Marriott Westminster, we headed to Aspen (first time) for our two night stay. I’ll talk about the drive to Aspen and the town itself in a focal point later on, but first up is my stay in Aspen. The St. Regis Aspen 315 E Dean …
