We had patio with view of lake. Weeds obstructed nice view. Gates never closed outside so patio was accessible to anyone. Door to patio didn’t close well. No hotel sitting area. Small, smelly ( I bought an air freshener spray) run down rooms. Couldn’t wait to leave.

Dont let negative reviews stop you from staying here. We really enjoyed our stay. The most beautiful view of the river. Make sure you get a river view room. We did not use the pool or the restaurant. Our room was very clean. The bathroom was very small but not a big deal for us. Very peaceful stay. No complaints at all.

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.

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.

Great location, front desk staff was rude. We had 5 rooms and each of us received phone calls around 3pm asking if we were going to show up and when we would be there even though they were all under one name. Food in the restaurant was actually really good, but they are understaffed to the point where it just wasn't worth waiting.

not real happy this time

Our refrigerator was all iced up because the door seal was detached from the door so none of our stuff stayed really cold as it has in the past times we have stayed here. Also they changed the hours of the downstairs lounge everything was closed at 9 and for the last 8 years or so it has been open till at least 11. Kind of nice to have an after dinner drink with friends instead of calling it a night or risk going back to town
