At check-in the staff was not hospitable at all. They were very mechanical and failed to provide the waterpark access bands. The rep also charged my card twice for the $50 incidentals deposit. The breakfast area needs more seating for larger families.

Overpriced disaster
When my daughter and I checked in, there was a woman changing behind the registration desk. Not a great first impression, but we were already out $267 so we pressed on. As we got to our floor, it smelled musty. Once we got to our room, we realized that it had most likely lost its glory over a decade ago. It smelled, furniture was old, the sheets were re-stitched with blue thread, no comforter and just gross. The television only had around 20 channels to choose from with no pay-per-view. The ice machine didn’t work. I could go on, but the worst part was the “waterpark”. Parts of the tree were being held together with duct tape. There was no private changing room. The lazy river was more of a push your feet off the walls to move with the water type of river. All in all, complete disappointment. The complimentary breakfast made both my daughter and myself sick. Don’t waste your money!

Nice view at first, but a buncha garbage against building in back. Ants coming up from tiles in bathroom. Mold and black mildew on bar on shower enclosure. Waterpark rusty bucket on ground for kids to catch tetanus. Not safe.

Expensive. Beds were amazing. Very comfy slept like rock. Wish they would reduce rate if not using water park. Old people do not use. We would stay more often if that accommodation was considered. We go to Dubuque often it was a treat to did do the extra money. However we are unable to stay there all the time with price.

The front desk and staff was so nice to us. The water park is wonderful and I loved how there was a concession stand/food place with very decent prices right there! It wasn’t overly crowded, the breakfast was good, we had a great experience. We will definitely be back again!

You hear trains around the hour. Next to the museum and Mississippi River. Water park was fun regardless that there were some rust. The breakfast room was small and we had to wait for seats. The kids room was fun. Room was nice and updated. Felt clean. No bugs. Had microwave and fridge. Lots of vanity space.

Overall good stay
Overnight check-in tried to help me work a bigger room upgrade but the Hotels.com reservation did not accommodate it. Something both One Key and the property should work on. Hotels need to understand no matter how I booked, I am still a revenue booking. I was able to get a rollaway which worked out.
