Top Storybook Park & Zoo Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Dubuque Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay here. Very clean/tidy upon entering the room and cozy. Bathroom has been slightly updated with a modern feel. I’m back in the area after a number of years and I don’t remember being this impressed the last time I stayed here. Breakfast was good with staff walking around cleaning and checking on your needs. I thoroughly enjoyed 7 Hills attached to hotel with a hand full of stops for food and some craft beers. My only recommendation is don’t stay there during a weekend where a local high school has their homecoming. A bit loud at the pool/hot tub well after 10:00, but I was in high school once, and just dealt with it while thinking of the good ole days. Nonetheless, I will absolutely stay here again in a heart beat."
