Excellent location! It was a convenient walk into town along the riverwalk. Our room had a private balcony overlooking the river. The hotel provided many perks like a complimentary drink, coupons for a discount at the restaurant and passes to their other properties including those with water parks and a wildlife park.

Staff was friendly and informative. If you're booking through a 3rd party company like expedia and you're choosing a room with a deck view of the river, call the hotel to confirm you're going to get what you're paying for. It's a short and wonderful walk along the river to get up to the street with all of the shops. I've stayed in the dells numerous times and I've only stayed at the Vue once. It's the only place I'll book with now.

The room was just okay. Clean, but outdated and plain. The private balcony looking over the river would have been fantastic but there was a porch light we couldn’t shut off and it was completely covered with bugs of all kinds. It looked like the balcony ceiling hadn’t been cleaned in many years. We would have had to sit in a swarm to enjoy the balcony but the view was still awesome. The staff were polite and helpful but not really friendly. The pool was a really nice surprise and we loved being able to easily walk up to the main downtown strip. We would stay at the Vue again, but a few small changes would make it easy to give this hotel 5 stars.

Great view. The only thing I didn’t like was that the toilet seat was disgusting in our room. There was marks all over the toilet seat. There was black spots inside the toilet, like it just hasn’t been cleaned in months. Good thing I always take cleaning supplies anytime I travel. I would hope with them seeing the toilet seat like this they would replace it but no, they just kept doing what they’re doing. And that was not cleaning it. Sorry, cleanest is a big one for me but other wise OK hotel. Room was on the third floor I think 324

The front desk was terrible. Rude and lazy would be an understatement. As one example, I asked if there were any upgrades available and she looked me in the eye and said I can pull out my phone and check Expedia if I want to see if there are any upgrades. The bar staff was awesome. Especially the bar manager- 5 stars across the board for her. Food ranged from really good to just ok. The room was ok… just ok. Here’s the thing… For the dells this was a fancy-ish hotel. Anywhere else in the county this is a sort of ran down holiday inn that was painted in pretty colors. It would be a solid room for 125$ a night. For over $500 a night for a basic two bed room, after tax and everything, it was a let down. Nothing to write home about. It did have a nice river view though. Indoor pool was nice. Hot tub was nice. It was designed well for those of us with kids. If I didn’t have a kid I would have been annoyed with all of the kids in the hot tub and pool, but that part was a perk for my family. All in all… it’s not at all worth the money they charge, but that’s the theme in the dells. If you go expecting to over pay for a mediocre hotel room with a river view and a decent indoor pool, great bar and close to downtown you’ll be prepared properly for what to expect. Hopefully the front desk will be better for you than they were for us.
