Solid Historic Hotel

It's an old hotel with a lot of history in a very solid location to explore Dubuque. Great value for the cost. Probably wouldn't bring my family here, but would stay solo again without a doubt.

Vintage hotel with a good vibe and great location in downtown Dubuque. It's not luxury but it's pretty cool.

My husband loved the quirkiness of the place. I felt it smelly heavily of cigarette smokes. On check-in, we were supposed to have queen room and they had given them all away. We had to take a full size bed and we barely slept all night.

Old school. Throwback to the days of Al Capone updated for Benny Goodman. Tiny bathroom but functional. Clean room, sparse, but adequate for a restful sleep.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Location, accessibility and parking were fine. Nothing fancy, but everything was clean and adequate. Price was good. My main complaint was the inability to do anything about my room temp. I was told that heaters were not allowed. The clerk said he could get me an extra blanket..... he never even did that. That whole "customer service" thing seemed to be lost on the ol' fella. Disappointing...

This building was prob made in the 40s and no updates seem to have been made fo make it a better place. Everything is old, the rooms are super small, the bathroom sink was in the small living room. The bathroom was insanly small and combined with shower make it smaller. No shampoo. Funny thing bout the tv...its a roku tv which requires internet to work...but guess what, they dont have wifi!!! Avoid this place at all cost.
