Still a nice place!!!

This was my second stay at the riverfront and its still a nice out of the way place. Clean and simple, the pool table on the back patio is great for friends to pass some time. I just hope the update the TVs to smart TVs so I could use my firestick or log into my NETFLIX, but that was not a big issue for me.

Perfect for a family!!!

Clean property and lots of kitchen utensils and extra pillows and towels and wash cloths. In other properties I have stayed at there are always Limited towels and I worry about having enough, but there were just tons! I really appreciated that! Bonus is having a washer and dryer! It was wonderful having a total of three bedrooms and two bathrooms for such a reasonable price. That plus having three full size couches meant that our family of five was not piled up on top of each other when we were there LOL. I would definitely recommend this property. Short drive to the zoo and State Museum. No negatives here! Communicative property owner.
