Hotel in zona Men's Wearhouse, Dubuque

My wife and I are over from Scotland visiting our daughter and we all stayed here while visiting Galena. The hotel is in a convenient location for shops and restaurants and for travelling to Galena. It is well maintained and quiet with a nice pool, hot tub and fitness room. Special mention must be made of Tanisha who was always helpful and set up and serviced our King Suite in a very customer focused manner and, importantly, always with a smile on her face. She is definitely an asset to both the hotel and Hilton.

Eravamo li' per una notte, la nostra prenotazione era fatta da qualcun altro, sulla carta di credito, e quando siamo arrivati, siamo stati posti in una stanza con due letti regina che erano davvero spaventati. Poiché l’hotel non aveva nessuno, ho chiamato il desk e ho chiesto se potevamo passare a una camera da letto. Ho anche offerto di pagare la differenza per una camera unica se necessario, e di nuovo è stato detto di no (da quando la prenotazione è stata fatta da qualcun altro), che sembrava una semplice richiesta, e l’hotel aveva pochi persone in essa. Non pensavo che fosse una richiesta insensata, ma il personale chiaramente non voleva affrontarla. In generale, la struttura è data ma abbiamo trovato la struttura pulita e in un luogo conveniente.

This is a two-story motel with all room entrances to the outdoors. There is no elevator to the second floor. The facility is conveniently located near downtown. There is a bar and grill on-site. An outdoor swimming pool is also on the property. Vending machines with credit card capability were available for soda pop. The staff was friendly. The room with a king-sized bed was very clean. There were several small square pillows on the bed. I used two pillows side by side to prop my head. The mattress was a little harder than I am used to, but I slept well. The bathroom had a strong full-flow shower. The room was equipped with a TV, refrigerator, and microwave, but no clock or radio. The desk has an outlet *****, but there were no outlets near the bed in my king bed room. (The closest outlet was on the bedside wall within reach of a six-foot extension cord.) The interior of the motel looks better than the exterior. Breakfast was included. The morning of my stay, the options were coffee, juice, breakfast cereal, yogurt, boiled eggs, granola bars, instant oatmeal, toast, bagels, and fruit. There was a microwave available. There was no waffle maker and there were no hot entrees. The motel is located near a hospital atop a bluff on US Highway 20 (Dodge Street) which has a fair amount of truck traffic that is climbing or descending the bluff. This part of the highway has limited access like a freeway. The sound did not keep me awake but was noticeable at times. Much of the other lodging in the city is also located on Highway 20 (Dodge Street) further from downtown in areas with traffic lights.

We travel a lot and stay at many places. We wanted a sample of a bed and breakfast and a more traditional stay while going to our Godchild's wedding. It is an older Victorian house with about 15 rooms, which does give breakfast. Here are a few items that need to be attended to to bring this facility up to par. The wallpaper in our room and the hallways were starting to peel away and instead of gluing, they put matching tape to hold it together, there were stains on the rugs in our room and holes in the carpet in the halls. On each floor, the fixtures, old as they be, did'nt have matching bulbs, or many bulbs were missing. So the lighting was off. The shower caulk in our bathtub was moldy. The left handle on the sink was loose and came off. The ceiling above our bed was patched and not repainted so there were two different colors. The chairs were antique, for the ambiance, but they could not be sat on. The owner needs to put more money into restoring this location. Also, communication with the bed and breakfast was different. Every time I would call, the owner would just text me. I had to get all the info, and codes to get into the place by text. It would have been nice to get this info ahead of time and maybe have a copy in the room as well as how to use the TV, because it was apple tv. Also, there is no AC in this old house, which we understood, but there were portable AC units in halls and rooms, we were hoping that the electric panels could take all of these plug ins, along with microwave and refrigerators in the rooms. No one is ever at the front desk, you can only text him to talk. Not personable, I understand because of covid, but we felt that we were let alone in the house with no one at the desk. He just told us that we can text if we need anything. I had to text and ask for my receipt after I got home. I probably would not stay here again. Needs work and better communication.

This was a positive experience. The hotel is undergoing renovation but does seem fully functional. Our room seemed a little quirky in that it was arranged fairly different from most hotel suites. Still it worked very well for us. It was very comfortable. The hotel does not include breakfast but it does have a good restaurant. You can choose between a very good buffet or order off the menu. I was a little hesitant when we first drove up to the hotel. Like many cities, the downtown does feel in decline, but we felt very safe in the hotel and same for our car in the lot. I would stay there again.

Dripping with historic vibes, this gorgeous 110-year-old building houses a modern hotel with all the modern touches. This corner has had a hotel on it for nearly 200 years, and has hosted Abe Lincoln, Mark Twain, and Al Capone! It's location is perfect--views of the Mississippi River from the rooms, and walking distance to everything in the very happening downtown area. The lobby makes a first great impression, making you feel like you've gone back in time. The clerks were kind and funny, and very helpful with suggestions about what to do and where to eat. Our room had a comfortable, single queen bed (although the pillows were a bit small and flat). The bathroom had frosted glass doors and an adequately sized shower. Our only complaint is that the toilet paper fixture came out of the wall, which we reported immediately, but it wasn't fixed during the 4 days we were there. The restaurant on site, Carolines, had really delicious food and attentive servers. It was also very handy having a spa on site (Potosa Spa), and it was amazing. At $179, the room rate wasn't much more than the Holiday Inn down the street, and I'd take this historic beauty any day over a chain hotel! We will stay here again!

We received a very warm welcome from the front desk employee who checked us in and was very informative and helpful. The room had a bad smell and there was a bottle cap and some food on the carpet next to one of the beds. Otherwise the room was clean and a very nice size for us (3 adults, 2 kids). The waterpark was a lot of fun, the kids had a blast. A lot of the structures were rusted and old-looking but that didn't take away from the fun we all had. Unfortunately we were not there for the days the Kidz Klub was open, it looked like a lot of fun. The arcade was great, and I wish we would have had time to try the laser tag they have. Breakfast was included in the price which is unusual and really nice!
