Top Shot Tower Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Dubuque Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Need to upgrade breakfast. Everything had no flavor. Eggs, meats, gravy, etc!!!!"

Hotel Julien Dubuque

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful historic hotel with "old world charm," named after the first permanent European settler in Iowa, Julien Dubuque. The rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean with modern accessories (coffee marker, TV). Caroline's restaurant, located in the building and named after a local who took over her husband's ice cutting business in 1875, is a wonderful, cozy restaurant offering filets, salmon, etc. cooked to perfection with slight variations to the usual. With reasonable rates, Hotel Julien is also within walking distance of businesses and the aquarium museum downtown!"

Holiday Inn Dubuque/Galena by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The house keeping staff was lead by an Iesha at check out. She was amazing, she thanked us for cleaning up the deluxe suite on the 4th floor as well as the ball room. The rest of the staff was amazing, helping us get into rooms, fixing lights before our event. Thanks Holiday Inn Dubuque!"
