Great stay at reasonable price

Location is very convenient. Comfortable stay. Front desk person (Cindy?) is pretty unpleasant; I remember her from a previous stay. Obviously not a deterrent for our staying, but I feel sorry for the people who have to work with her.

Hotels name says it all! (The Vue)!!!

We had a balcony view room overlooking the river and it was excellent! Room was clean, beds very comfortable. The bathroom was small but clean. The elevator wasn’t working. The vending machine we used wasn’t working. Overall for the money we would go back again! The problems were annoying but small.

Great time

When we arrived we had to wait to get our room. Only about 15 minutes, but it was worth it. The room was clean and cool. The employees were all very helpful and knowledgeable.

Great unmatched Upper Dells river views

Our one-night stay at the Vue was nice. The view of the upper dells was incredible and unmatched. The check-in process was stupidly complicated. The location was close to the old shopping area and we enjoyed our visit.

We stayed 3 nights. asked two different times for toilet paper and were told it would be delivered to our room. both times had to go to front desk for paper. We got caught in a downpour on the riverwalk. Stopped at front desk for towels. They would only give us pool towels.?

Do not go here

The hotel had bugs, especially a lot of spiders. The room looks like whoever before us had literally had a UFC fight in it- there were so many “handyman repairs.” On this app it stated there were two queen beds when in fact they were full size beds.

Wisconsin Dells getaway

Relaxing getaway in The Dells. The unit was comfortable but could use some upgrades. We had a beautiful view of the Wisconsin River but it was spoiled by all the cobwebs and bugs on the picture window. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We stayed here for the Dells Wine Walk. It was walking distance to the downtown area. We also had a great view of the lake.
