We hope to host you again.Trip date: May 2025 - LDLori· September 23rd, 2024The cities we saw were great. I would have enjoyed more time in Montreal and less time in Toronto. I did not like our accommodations in the Sepia Hotel in Quebec City. The room was nice but smelled musty or smoky and the floor was sticky. The shower floor was incredibly slippery and there were no hand rails for safety. Our guide,Marilyn, was great.Show moreCostsaver commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your feedback; we apologise for your negative experience at the Sepia Hotel.
