Top Dubuque Hotel Reviews

Grand Harbor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a deal! Got much more than room-breakfast and access to water park. Lots of families but it seems like adult travelers they put on top floor so a little quiet. Was right next to event center where we were attending a show and right next to Tony Roma restaurant so very convenient. We didn't go to casino but that was right across the parking lot (walking distance). Would definitely stay here again!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Dubuque, IA

8/10 Good

"My biggest complaint was the pop machine was completely empty.There were no snacks to be found. After we sat in the hot tub and got relaxed to go to bed. We realized there was nothing to drink. And then we had to get dressed and go to the gas station for a drink or a snack before bed. It was disappointing, but otherwise everything was clean and maintained well."

Redstone Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a cute and quaint place! It truly is a vintage treasure in the area. The family that owns it is local, and takes pride in how they have cared for the manor. The wall paper is sooo old and intricate designs. I appreciate that they have left it! I love that there’s so much time and art left in the hotel. With being an old historic building you do have to understand that the ac/ heat is adjusted as the best they can. So yes there are portable units in the suites, but it’s part of the charm of an old building. To reconstruct all of that is understandably expensive."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Dubuque Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This Hotel was in a central location. Brewery right across the street with grat food. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and very clean. We showed up 30 minutes after breakfast time and Terry made sure we still got fed. I noticed later in the day after we had left that I lost one of my AirPod in the bed. I called right away and the gentleman told me that he would leave a message with housekeeping. I am now back home, 1900 miles away. I called today and spoke to a woman at the front desk. She said she was happy that I called back. Yes, they had found an AirPod at the bottom of their laundry chute! What are the chances that they found that tiny little AirPod amongst what was a pile of laundry! They verified my address and they are going to send it to me. That is going above and beyond!"
