Dubuque getaway down memory lane

We had a very nice stay at the hotel last weekend. A college friend and I try to meet up for a few days twice a year to catch up with each other. We chose this hotel for the history and location. We met in the lobby and it was as nice as the photos. Even though we were early for check in- the front desk was very accommodating and within 1/2 an hour we had our room, unpacked and left to go exploring. I had lived in Dubuque during the 1970’s so I was able to catch up on all the changes to the area since that time. The room was good - the only issue was the toilet paper holder fell and needed some maintenance. The beds were both clean and comfortable, we didn’t have too much noise from the streets below and slept soundly. We had no particular agenda but visited the Stone cliff bar, the casinos, shot tower, Europa German restaurant, stores downtown and the lock and dam #11. Also took trips to Platteville, the beer museum in Potosi and grotto in Dickeyville. Galena is close but we have stayed there numerous times in past years so we didn’t visit this trip. The only thing I was surprised we could not find was Sly Stallone’s hand prints on the sidewalk downtown from the movie FIST. We would stay there again and enjoyed our

Check in and parking were smooth. Hotel is cool old hotel that very well maintained. Room was nice and roomy. Very clean. Only issue we had was the sound. We could easily hear the people next door and the people outside. Otherwise, it is great hotel.

great place

Great Hotel we did a couples staycation on Monday night. We had the pool and hot tub to ourselves! Room was clean and comfy. The cons not much room to hang cloths or jackets. No free breakfast, dust on window sash. Area of town was great ' plenty of eating and entertainment nearby. Checkout the river museum and aquarium across the street!!

Nice hotel, old but clean. Included breakfast would have been nice, but there is a restaurant on site, so it’s understandable that free breakfast wouldn’t be included. Pool and gym facilities were nice and clean.

Beautiful hotel in a great location.

The hotel was gorgeous in a great location. They have a parking lot with sufficient spots available for guests. It had a 1920s lux vibe, but with modern facilities. Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the hot tub. Other than a couple minor things (being out of shampoo and conditioner when we first arrived), our stay was comfortable. We'd be back again and would recommend this hotel.
