Our room had a view of the river which was nice but no balcony to enjoy the view. Easy to walk to downtown. Staff was helpful and the restaurant and bar were top notch!

The room we had was amazing. It had 3 queen beds...one being in a whole other room so it would be great for a small family. It had both river and street view. All the staff from check-in, to bar to servers were all wonderful and friendly. Hotel is just a couple blocks from main street with a nice riverwalk way to lead you right there

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 Clean, but outdated and plain.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

A little rundown
Needs to be remodeled, loved the patio and the view, but room was perhaps smallest I've ever stayed in, especially with 2 queen beds. Bathroom kinda especially old, and small ants. Noisy,very thin walls!
