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.
