Best place to stay in downtown Dubuque!
My husband and I come to Dubuque every year for the Holidazzle and to relax and enjoy the downtown area. We had the best stay at the Holiday Inn - it was fabulous! The staff is incredible friendly and helpful, special shout-outs to Barb at the front desk for being so fun and welcoming, to Amber in the lounge/restaurant for taking awesome care of us all weekend and to Jeff the shuttle driver for giving us rides to dinner and back on such a dangerously cold night - this was an AWESOME perk!!! Thank you Jeff, Barb and Amber, you guys rock and you made our weekend getaway really fun and relaxing! The location is perfect, you can walk to so many great places to eat and drink! And it's a great place for families to gather, plenty of space to spread out, eat a pizza from the Shot Tower in the giant comfy lobby, the kids can swim in the pool, the lounge is handy to watch sports - this place has it all at a reasonable price and safe parking! Perfect!

Staff was very polite and building was clean but cafe is very slow and forgetful with food orders. There was no complimentary breakfast. I was very disappointed with this hotel with no complimentary breakfast. I'm probably not going to stay there again 😕.

Unhappy with customer service
I would have liked to leave a positive review, however we experienced an unexpected illness the day of the reservation and were unable to make it into town. I called the hotel and Hotels.com to request a refund, however my request was not honored. I am disappointed since I am on the hook for the full amount of the reservation. I have used Hotels.com for years and is my preferred method to book hotels. I wish they could have taken that into consideration and at least offer me a credit on a future stay due to our unforeseen circumstance.

Nice Lobby, great location. Bathroom wasn’t cleaned. Bed linens not changed hair on sheets. In their defense they use a temp agency for cleaning rooms because unfortunately no one wants to work these days.

Horrible when you reserve a room and are told hotels.com overbooked them. So you end up with a smaller room and less ammenities.

I think specifically for the room I was in, there was someone smoking right next to it or maybe even before I got there. The place was dusty and there were hairs in the bathroom. The smell in the bathroom smelled like urine and cigarette smoke. I was able to tell a staff member the next morning and I think they took care of whoever was smoking next to my room. Parking is behind the building. It’s good that this location is convenient to other things around Dubuque but having the room kind of smell like cigarette smoke didn’t make me feel comfortable being there.

We were there during a dog convention (had no idea). But the property took cautionary measures to protect the carpets, and tiles and you’d never know 100s of dogs were wandering through. My room was clean, bed was comfortable, the staff was very kind. Due to the convention my daughter had the pool to herself. Pool was clean, area around it was clean and the towels stacked full. We did do the breakfast buffet at the in house restaurant. $14.95/person, children eat free. We were fine with the breakfast buffet - but they also had menus available. I saw some people had complained in previous reviews - however I think sometimes we fail to realize the cost of “free” anything is built into our room rates elsewhere. It was a fine set up. I appreciated not having to go off the hotel grounds to grab breakfast. A lot of restaurants are walkable should you opt to go outside of the hotel. It’s a beautiful and clean facility. Great water pressure. Wanted for nothing. Would recommend.
