The Vue is not a good place to stay. The check in process is coercive, requiring all members of one's party to sign waivers on their phones and show proof to the clerk before check in. (This AFTER the non-refundable down payment). Then with the check in, guests are made to scroll through and agree to line after line of rules and penalties. Guests are forced to wear wrist band keys, threatened with eviction if they are found without them. Long lists of rules are posted everywhere, even above the single ice machine. It is clear that guests are barely tolerated. The room was old. The door to the tiny bathroom does not lock. There was an ironing board jammed into the bathroom. The fan in the bathroom was loud, and didn't seem at all effective. The water temperature was VERY DIFFICULT to regulate and slow to respond. I don't believe larger sized guests could use the toilet very easily. The bathroom is that small. The pool was cold and there were moths and dirt in the pool shower room. The pool towels would work as 150 grit sand paper. The windows in the pool room were stained. The signage in that room was dirty. I saw a lot of chipped paint on exterior surfaces. All together, I regret staying at this old, poorly maintained, unfriendly property and will not recommend that anyone else do so.

A mixed review. There are positives and negatives. Check-in staff was rude, and check-in process is grueling. Rest of the staff is very nice. Room/motel is run down, but the bed was the comfiest hotel bed I've ever slept in. Restuarant is good. I often had to wait a long time for my food, though. View is INCREDIBLE! Pools/hot tub was nice. Hot tub is big. I think it's worth the price. I'd prob. stay again.

My husband & I stayed there from a Friday till Sunday and really enjoyed the room. It was clean & comfy. We were there for Automotion Weekend & loved it was walking distance from the strip. Got back to our room & was very happy to realize I was able to sit in front of the room window with a glass of wine and still see all the cars driving down our road. We will be staying again next year. Staff was very quick to satisfy any request & everyone in the restaurant when we had dinner there were very nice.

2/10. Needs a staff makeover.

I was rather surprised by the overall attitude of the staff. I felt like a burden and not a guest. I was handed rules and told all the things not to do. I asked about coffee the first morning and was told we don’t do continental breakfast and Starbucks will open at 730. Over all I will skip this place and stay somewhere else from now on.

Excellent location, two block walk to the old-time downtown. On lovely river walking path. Super efficient and friendly staff. Nice meal and their restaurant with a River view. Older building with small rooms, small toilet room, funky curtains and room view obstructed by dirty windows. For one night first time stay I’m glad we stayed there for the location. And the staff definitely a bonus.
