Hotel Julien Dubuque

10/10 Excellent
"I very rarely write hotel reviews, but this one was so great I had to do it! The property is beautiful, with old-school charm and beautiful modern updates in the rooms themselves, which are clean, beautiful and spacious. The staff were all lovely and helpful and the location (we could see the Mississippi from our room, and there were delightful restaurants and shops just steps from our door) couldn't have been better!"
