Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean unit, excellent cleaning staff are very attentive to detail. The breakfast they leave in the unit each day is good. Chairs need replacement. The shared balcony is not private enough to use. But it's generally quiet, clean, well appointed, and next to the Shamrock which has excellent pub grub. Not close to downtown or Caneland mall, but the nearby Botanical Gardens are nice to walk around. I've stayed multiple times and will be back.
