This is the second stay here since new ownership. Not much change. Staff not as friendly. That's due to not knowing them for 10 years like the previous staff. So I expect that. The property is still in need of maintenance. The receptacle at the sink didn't work for coffee maker. GFI wouldn't reset. Tv cutting out. Still the best balcony to set at on the river. They are doing some work there with trash container in lot, so they deserve a chance to do better. It takes time. Been coming there a few times a year for 10 years now. I'd hate to have it to where I didn't enjoy the stay.
