About The Hotel
Hotel Vue, Ascend Hotel Collection, sits on John R. Junkin Drive near US-84/US-61 and the Mississippi River bridge, offering a convenient base for road-trippers a short drive from downtown Natchez. The 3.7 rating across 536 reviews reflects mixed experiences: guests praise the pool, fitness center, and practical location, but recent 1-star reviews cite serious cleanliness concerns, mold odors, stained furniture, non-functional elevators, and a green, slimy pool. The property is described as older with inconsistent upkeep. Candid reviews indicate the air conditioning, pool maintenance, and general condition require inspection before booking. Jetted-tub rooms are a specific room type that must be confirmed at booking.
What Guests Are Saying
“The hotel is in very poor condition. The room smelled of mold. The toilet was dirty and on the sofa it had a big stain. We booked rooms with breakfast and paid accordingly. But according to an employee, this has not been offered for two years. So there’s no more breakfast. The floor, carpet, has not been cleaned for a long time. The air conditioning in the hotel no longer works. It’s warmer inside the building than outside. The pool has not been cleaned in recent years. There are animals swimming around in it and the water is dark green. The pool bar is also in a rotten state.” — OnAir53766993161, 1 star
“I highly recommend not staying at this hotel. The photos on their website do not reflect the state of the hotel. The pool and hot tub are green, slimy and half way full (with no sign indicating it was closed or anything). The elevator didn’t work (with no out of order sign). The couch in my room had a giant stain on the seat. The air conditioning was out in the lobby and hallways. Barely any cars were there, so it seemed like a ghost town. I did not feel completely safe or clean. One perk is that I learned to read reviews before booking a hotel!” — Madison B., 1 star
“Where do I start! We were booked here via travel company. On arrival didn’t seem like anyone was staying! car park had a couple of work mens trucks then us. It smelt old and closed up in the check in area. We were given our room headed down the corridor with minimal lighting and poor air conditioning. Proceeded to our room to be greeted with a continuous beeping from the smoke detector in the seating area. Then in the bedroom area the smoke detector was on the floor with the wires hanging out of the unit base. Returned to check in! Was given another room on the same floor. That wasn’t much better. The fridge was fit for the tip! The safe had Old batteries in it which leaked into the safe!!! The smoke detector wasn’t even there in this room. Went to phone reception for soap and towels etc only to find there wasn’t even a wire connecting the phone! Alarm bells ring bigtime! Bar, restaurant was closed. Where do I start with the swimming pool 🤢 Or shall I say swamp!!!!!!! This hotel should not be open for business! We wanted to leave there and then but it’s was late!! First thing in the morning we left asap and booked into another hotel. Travel company are now aware, we are awaiting feedback 🤔” — Jet48350102231, 1 star
