the hotel was nice but, It was frusterating because we booked online and when we got to the Vue "HOTEL" to check in with our all our stuff in tow, they told us our room was at a "motel" building across the street with a totally different parking lot.... and we had to pay $50 more to stay in the hotel we booked. NOTHING online indicated the 2nd location. WE paid the additional charge (ughh) The actual "Hotel" is very nice. and the location was beautiful on the water

Our room overlooking the river was generally great - a bit cramped for 4 people but we made it work. The nights were cool so it would have been nice to be able to open the window a bit for fresh air - we had to run the AC constantly to keep the room cool so I recommend upgrading to the patio room for future stays. Great view, generally clean. A few small maintenance things they could easily fix - broken/missing hooks on bathroom door, wobbly dresser. Great location - walked to downtown Dells nearly every night of our stay. We didn’t use any of the other amenities at the other properties. Ate one meal at the restaurant - again, great view, friendly staff, average food.

The bathroom was extremely small and dark. Only one light bulb above the sink. Seemed to be able to hear every noise in the hall and rooms near ours. Not too impressed with the hotel.

From the outside and the pictures this place looked great. The room we stayed in was fine, but definitely had the feel of a college apartment. We were only there for one night but had previously considered it for a few days. I’m glad that we changed plans. Again, everything was fine, just small and outdated.

Not boutique in any way
The images on the website were not representative of what was experienced. Room was comfortable, but not boutique or luxurious in any way. Staff was friendly! The bar was lovely, good bartender and selection of signature cocktails... I wouldn't recommend staying for the price unless you intend to take advantage of ALL amenities (natura adventures).

Dated but pretty clean. Comfy bed. First floor rooms had people slamming doors and a bunch of night noise near the reception. Passes for the water park included were great

Don’t waste your money
For the price we paid I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Rooms are MUCH smaller than advertised, bathroom was so small my husband had a time fitting in (he’s 6’1” and 190lbs), air conditioner did not cool the room-so hot to sleep in! We had a patio room with door to the river-before we even opened the door there was bugs all over the ceiling and wall. Since we were on the lower there their wifi did not work. There was no landline in the room. To communicate with our sitter at home we had to go up to the lobby for wifi access. Doesn’t really allow parents to relax when potentially the sitter could not quickly get ahold of us. The price you are paying is definitely for location and not accommodations.

Terrible - very old and hasn’t been remodeled in years - too many to count. The power went out on 1/2 of our room when I plugged in a hair dryer. Rooms are really small and bathroom sink is in the room with no countertop space. Ironing board hangs in the tub/shower area. No closet - just a 2’ bar behind the sink. Definitely not a “Boutique Hotel” and very overpriced.

This property is old and dirty. Couldn’t hardly understand the check in receptionist, then we got to our room only to find out non of our keys worked. So back to try to communicate with reception again. Then we FINALLY get into the room to see a hole in the bathroom door and it’s so dark in the vanity area you can barely see to put on makeup. The carpet stunk and our socks were filthy from it. Then when it came time to put my kids to sleep that was impossible because of the noise coming from outside. 11:30 at night and sounded like it was next door. Then the old smelly ac quit sometime in the wee hours of the morning. So we looked for a phone to call reception and no phone in the room. Weird… good thing we had cell service, reception had zero sympathy that our family of 4 was sweating and told us maintenance was not on shift and the best he could tell me was to “open a window”. Lol The windows were sealed shut. This place is a joke and absolutely not worth the $230 some we paid!!!! 😡never ever again!!!
