The Perfect Place to Stay in The Dells

We have stayed at The Vue several times now. Every time the staff have been an excellent help and very friendly. Our rooms have always been clean and welcoming. The views from river side are photo worthy. I recommend splurging on the balcony. The location of the hotel is central, with quick and easy access to everything you will be doing in The Dells.

Needs a lot of upgrades.

Rooms need to be cleaned better, windows that opened would have been nice, pool warmer, sauna fixed, furniture upgrades to maximize space, cleaning the pool area more often.

The room is very small, but comfortable and extremely clean. I would suggest removing the bulky dresser in order to be able to move around the room a little better. Four people would be crowded, but it was just the two of us so it worked out just fine. The view from the balcony is the entire reason we chose this hotel - just beautiful. We were disappointed the restaurant downstairs wasn't open for breakfast, but we did find Denny's Diner on the other side of town, which was delicious! Would definitely stay here again.

Great location and VUE

Love this place! Front desk woman was abrupt about the hotel policies upon check in! Make sure your waivers are signed BEFORE check in! Rooms could use a full-size mirror and more outlets would be handy! Love the location and will be our go to this December!

Not bad for the Dells

Great staff both at front desk and Boathouse. Room is dated. Slow/single elevator. Dirty towel left under sink. A/C was loud as was being across from elevator. Balcony was nice with beautiful view. Non-carpeted floors would be better.
