Top Dubuque Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Dubuque, IA

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was easy, staff were all very nice and friendly. Room was clean - breakfast was just ok."

Grand Harbor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great weekend stay! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The waterpark was a lot of fun and kept everyone entertained, making it a perfect place for families to spend the weekend together. While the waterpark could definitely use a fresh coat of paint and some cosmetic updates, it was clean and served its purpose well. Overall, it’s a great spot to meet up with family and make fun memories together"

Hilton Garden Inn Dubuque Downtown

8/10 Good

"I was very surprised that there was not a complementary breakfast. As I was showering in the morning, I found a washcloth hanging over my shower curtain from a previous person’s stay. As this hotel was connected to a casino when I came home Friday evening from visiting my relatives I had to park significantly far away from the front door of the hotel. That was a safety issue for me."

Holiday Inn Dubuque/Galena by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great location but the rooms were getting a little tired. The heat would turn on the fan but would not throw heat; so as a consequence, the room was cool the entire time. Would never heat up the room and the thermostat stayed at the same temp even though we increased the temp. In all fairness, we never told the front desk as they may have moved us to another room."
