Best Western Plus Dubuque Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was perfect. Close to lots of good food and close to Riverboat cruises. Would definitely stay there again. Great summer prices."

Tesla MedBed Center, East Dubuque

8/10 Good

"Clean. Quiet. Secluded location. Allows dogs for a fee. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaints are that they lock the front doors at night so you have to use the fire exit if you want to leave early in the morning or let your dog out to go to relieve themselves. No staff there before 7am. Also the bed was VERY HARD. My husband liked it but a bit hard for my liking. It's an older property but has been nicely renovated inside. We stayed in the regular hotel not the bio-healing side. There's a naturopathic "medical" side that they have. Can't comment on that. No major issues for us. Would stay again if needed."

The Hancock House

8/10 Good

"This is a gorgeous and unique place, in a historic neighborhood whose charm is second to none. Very glad we stayed there! The only drawback was the lack of breakfast which is apparently only on weekends. There should have been a first-rate coffee setup to make up for this, but supplies were short and there was no silverware. Also, no live television in the room, only youtube TV."

Holiday Inn Dubuque/Galena by IHG

8/10 Good

"We were only there from Midnight on a Saturday night and left by 11 a.m. on Sunday. We went to eat breakfast elsewhere since the cost for breakfast there was $14.95 apiece. We had a fantastic breakfast just one block away for only $25 for the two of us. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, pillows a little soft, and the lobby was bright and welcoming. This was our 2nd stay at this Holiday Inn. We did, however, have to park on the street, which was a downer."
