Top Downtown Dubuque Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Dubuque

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay."

Tesla MedBed Center, East Dubuque

8/10 Good

"Clean. Quiet. Secluded location. Allows dogs for a fee. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaints are that they lock the front doors at night so you have to use the fire exit if you want to leave early in the morning or let your dog out to go to relieve themselves. No staff there before 7am. Also the bed was VERY HARD. My husband liked it but a bit hard for my liking. It's an older property but has been nicely renovated inside. We stayed in the regular hotel not the bio-healing side. There's a naturopathic "medical" side that they have. Can't comment on that. No major issues for us. Would stay again if needed."

Stoney Creek Inn Galena

10/10 Excellent

"This is probably one of the best Hotels I have ever stayed at. The entire staff was great. The rooms were clean, the pool and sauna were great, and the breakfast was also fantastic and so was Peg who was making sure everyone had plenty to eat. This was more than your average hotel breakfast. I love this place and hope to stay there again. I hope to try other locations of the Stoney Creek Hotel chain."

Hotel Julien Dubuque

10/10 Excellent

"Staying here was such a surprising delight! You feel like you're traveling back in time to the 1930's when walking into the majestic lobby. The hotel and restaurant staff loved sharing stories about the hotel's history. I'm glad we chose to stay here over a chain hotel while in town for a DCI competition."

Hotel Galena

10/10 Excellent

"We were warmly greeted on our arrival. In fact the property send periodic text to see if they could assist with any details aske when we would arrive so they could help us to our rooms and provided a code for our room to say our room was ready for occupancy. Property was within walking distance to downtown. Love it!"
