Beautiful Refurbished Historic Hotel

Beautiful gem of a refurbished boutique historic hotel in the heart of downtown Dubuque. Super friendly and helpful staff, nice, big clean rooms, nice big bathroom, too. Only mild negative is no USB ports in room but management says they are coming soon. Stayed on a referral from a friend and was not disappointed! If you are in Dubuque, stay here and you won't be disappointed either!

Great experience

I loved staying here. I was in town to watch the March Madness basketball games at Diamond Joe's Casino. The hotel has an amazing location downtown Dubuque. The hotel is walking distance to some great bars and restaurants downtown. It also is an easy walk to Diamond Joe's Casino. My room was great. I will forsure stay here again.

Seeing wear and tear on this property. Many years ago it had a multi million dollar restoration and it was beautiful! Now you can see a lot of dings and marks on the dark wood furnishings. Our room was clean and comfortable but maybe needed deep cleaning of the floor tile grout in the bathroom and in the corners. Also curtains didn’t slide well. There were little things that could have used attention. Bar across the street was extremely loud after we went to sleep. The noise woke us up. We went to sleep at around 11:45PM and it was after that when the music started and a lot of people partying. Lobby is pretty and pool/hot tub were nice. Caroline’s restaurant in the hotel was very good. Had breakfast there. About Dubuque. I don’t think it has the feel it once did. Not near as many businesses to visit for a weekend getaway and maybe felt a bit less safe. I don’t know. It’s satisfactory but not exceptional.

We have always wanted to stay here! We love this property. It is gorgeous. We enjoyed the night life as well as the restaurant for breakfast. Our only issue, which is minor, is when we got to our room there was not a tv remote. Called down and a very kind maintenance man came up. He could not get the remote he brought up to work so he left. He came up with another guy. They got the tv to turn on but we could not change the channel or adjust the volume. Finally we said just forget it and he said he would let the front desk know. I thought we would maybe get a couple drink chips or an offer to move rooms. Nothing. When we checked out, they did not mention it at all. We would stay again though.
