The Vue is a beautiful place to stay. Very close to downtown. Our room had a balcony over looking the river. The only negative is the bathroom is quite tiny. We will stay there again.

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.

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.
