The rooms overlooking the river were nice. The breakfast in the morning was my favorite highlight, the picture perfect view over looking the water was peaceful. The pool area and hot tub were also very nicely maintained. Would stay here again

We arrived in the evening and were only there for a place to sleep along the way of our travels. Quick check-in, clean rooms, comfortable beds. We did get the cheapest street view room, but nonetheless a decent room. My only complaint would be the walls are quite thin as we could hear the conversations from the people next to us. Overall, a great place especially for the price and it’s very close to downtown.

Wonderful evening at the VUE restaurant with Owade as our waiter. I tried a perfect Manhattan with Southern Comfort for the first time and yum! The black cherries were delightful! I had blackened Mahi Mahi with Parmesan mushroom risotto and it was excellent. My husband enjoyed his shrimp Alfredo and the presentation was lovely on both meals. The gorgeous sunset view made for a delightful ending!

I stayed here with my wife, twin boys 10 and daughter 7. The pool was really nice and well stocked with towels. The price was really reasonable for us as it had two rooms one for the kids, one for adult time. The view was beautiful! Staff was friendly, we didn’t try the restaurant, but food on the menu looked delicious.

We stayed at The View in Wisconsin Dells and I can confidently say… 11 out of 10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First of all, Teresa at the front desk? Absolute legend. The best front desk girl to ever walk this planet. She deserves at least 7 million stars herself. From the moment we walked in, she made everything easy, welcoming, and just FUN. Freddie, who runs housekeeping, is also amazing. Everything was on point and you can tell he truly cares about what he does. And the bartenders?! Dante and Adwan are next level. The espresso martinis? SO good. The atmosphere? Perfect. The Bloody Marys? Didn’t even have one, but I’d bet my life they’re incredible too. We even got to celebrate Mary’s 90th birthday at the bar — iconic. What a vibe. Hands down one of the best times ever. The View in Wisconsin Dells absolutely crushed it. Already want to go back. If you want, I can make a shorter Google-review version or a dramatic over-the-top Facebook post version too

Beautiful clean hotel with views of the river & easy access to Fowntown Dells via River Walk. Friendly staff. Staffing is limited on holidays, which is when we were there, so housekeeping wasnt available daily, but we were still able to get clean towels ftom front desk. Would stay here again.

Overall I would say this place is just ok. The rooms are pretty small, the bathrooms are very small. The sounds really travels between rooms. We had people running around above us. The one elevator is super slow. The hot tub was only hot 1 out of 3 days we were there. The location is great the view is great. We came in the winter, but in the summer they do have a dock and outdoor seating for the restaurant. You can not go to the restaurant without shoes.
