Stoney Creek Inn Galena
Really cozy and cute hotel. Friendly staff and the other guests were great too. Definitely family oriented. The only issue we had was that it seemed like they cater to the weekend guests. The hot tub was luke warm on Monday but was very hot and enjoyable the night before. They ran out of pancakes ...

Days Inn by Wyndham Dubuque
We were happy with the room except for the chair that was really wobbly, the legs on the chair were loose, we asked for a different one because we were afraid that it would fall apart if you sat in it. Never received a replace and no one came to check it out. Accident waiting to happen.
