Hotels near Dubuque airport

Pros: Very nice, clean, and comfortable upscale refurbished historic hotel close to the river and most local attractions. Neat history and feels like you are stepping back in time. Nice workout room with older but functional equipment. Nice pool area and hot tub. My family thoroughly enjoyed it and we decided to stay a couple more nights in king premiere suite that has full fridge, stove, and dishes; which saved us money as we decided to make many of our own meals. Also separate bedroom for parents and pull out couch for the kids to give us each our own space. Lobby was nice with a fire place and sitting areas to relax and read a book. We will likely visit again and will definitely come back if staying in Dubuque in the future.

Cons: Older workout equipment specifically treadmills and recumbent bicycle. Could not adjust bike seat depth. Treadmill worked well for my wife but I could only go at a fast walk as the track would catch if increasing speed greater than 4 mph when my 235 lbs weight came down through my foot. Common issue at many different hotels that we have visited.

Pros: I don't think there was anything I didn't like.

Cons: That we couldn't stay longer.

Cons: The staff was not helpful

Pros: Good staff, liked the hotel bar and staff

Pros: The Hotel Julien is delightful. Both charming and cozy. The rooms are lovely and first class. It feels like a 5 star hotel at a much lower price. Our room was, spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. It even had an arm chair with an ottoman which was perfect for resting my tired feet after walking all over Dubuque. On top of the normal amenities they have inexpensive, quality snacks (most were $2) in the room and a nice mini bar with a good selection. How often do you get to your hotel room, starving, and have to scramble around to find something to eat?! Hotel Julien solves that problem so nicely. And the fridge was still big enough to accommodate the food and drinks we brought with us.

Cons: I had read that the staff were really friendly and helpful. We found them to be professional but not over the top friendly or attentive. But still, they were good, just not great.

Pros: It is a very nice hotel in a great location in the city.

Pros: The ambiance & toiletries.

Cons: The noise from the bars below was unbearable-screaming & car doors slamming until 2 am

Pros: Good variety to choose from

Cons: I didn't like that I was charged $2 extra to substitute hash browns for fruit

Pros: Wonderful overall. Caroline’s steak was one of the best we’ve had.

Cons: TV was too far from bed. Covid restrictions problematic - should have reviewed with us at checkin. No pencil/paper was annoying and didn’t like that we had no cleaning service while we were there. What’s up with no vending machines?

Pros: Great view at an iconic hotel in downtown Dubuque

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Bed was comfortable. Did not spend a lot of time in the room other than to sleep.

Cons: Have free snacks instead of paying for them. Take the booze out and offer free water and snacks.

Pros: Room service was nice. Front desk staff was friendly. Spa services were nice but over-priced, pool and hot tub were quite nice.

Cons: Room was surprisingly shabby. Bedding was horribly wrinkled. Desk chair was inappropriate, too low for desk. Furniture was dented and needed repair or replacement.

Pros: The breakfasts are usually fine. I just don't like the little sack lunch thing

Pros: It was a great stay and would do it again

Cons: N/A

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: Hotel was worn and was being remodeled. There was no notice about that when I booked and no price reduction for it.

Pros: Ample parking. Welcoming staff.

Cons: Breakfast foods were in constant need of replenishing.

Pros: The Staff! They were friendly and helpful.

Cons: The bathroom needed just a little attention. It smelled funny. Perhaps a good once over is needed.

Pros: I never have any complaints with Hampton Inn Rooms are always clean beds so comfortable Staff super friendly and accommodating Breakfast selection great

Cons: I can not think of anything I did not like

Pros: Because of COVID-19, it was a sack breakfast. It was ok but, I would have rather had cereal & milk! Coffee was available but, I don't drink it!

Pros: Wasnt offered breakfast.

Cons: There was no breakfast

Pros: Cleanliness and price

Cons: Nope

Pros: That you were had breakfast. Felt safe with covid and everything was clean. Keep up the good work.

Pros: Room size, staff

Cons: Vents/registers in rm 258 are dusty? Or more so a good cleaning of AC/heat registers could be used

Pros: Everything else was fine

Cons: All outside garbage bins where never emptied and overflowing making the outside of the building looking like a dump! Time reservations needed to use the pool with a 1/2 hour limit!

Pros: It appeared to be a beautiful place online. The pictures were very deceiving. The location was convenient.

Cons: The staff was 1 person and he was not good to work with when issues cane up. The electricity went out and there was no staff on site. Additionally, there were no functioning emergency lights. The room given to us had wallpaper coming off the wall. When we plugged in our cell phone to charge, the lights flickered. We couldn’t find any functioning heat in our room other than a space heater. When we had no electricity and no person on site to assist us, we changed hotels. We asked for a refund and the Innkeeper only offered us a night’s coupon to use on another date. We wouldn’t stay at this place under this ownership ever!!

Pros: The hotels proximity to everything is fantastic. We were able to walk everywhere. The bed was very comfortable and the provided breakfast was very good. This is a great place to stay if you are looking for something a little different with some history.

Cons: We stayed over a weekend, so parking was not an issue. There's a large public lot next to the hotel that is free during the weekends. However, if you stay during the week, parking may be an issue. You would likely have to feed meters constantly to park close to the hotel. It has, likely original, single paned windows. We were woken up by garbage collections Saturday morning ~5am. We didn't spend a lot of time in the room, but if you do, noise may be a concern.

Pros: Breakfast was good. Quiet b n b closer to more than I knew

Pros: Beautiful old building, old world Comfort, great location for downtown Dubuque, quiet

Cons: The owner was quirky to the point of being bossy, argued about the air conditioning when I though the room too cold, wrestled my suitcase out of my hand when I wanted to carry it myself twice, was weird at breakfast when guests approached the buffet table before being served with the hot portion of their breakfast, barked "you don't get it" at us, served different hot breakfast portion to different people but offered no choice, there were no decaf pods for the keurig i provided my own but 25 mins later there was no sign of my coffee.

Pros: The granduer of the house is wonderful, it feels like you are going back in time to the late 1800's, but with all the modern amenities. The breakfast was delicious, with a lot of healthy options available. We will definitely be staying here again.

Pros: Clean room with new furnishings. Quiet. Helpful staff. Free breakfast.

Cons: Shower was a bit hard to get in and out of and shower curtain didn't quite close. Minor nitpicks...

Pros: This is a great hotel. Built as a Hoffman House in the 70s, they have renovated, updated, added, and offer travel's a great, relaxing stop over. You won't believe the included breakfast! Real china, real silver, real food.

Cons: Smokers gathered outside the door. With a band of 15 of them, you walk through a wall of smoke which hangs in the air and clings to you. When I complained, the desk clerk's response sounded as if it's a regular complaint and dismissed by management.

Cons: The bed wasn’t the ‘comfiest’.

Pros: Good location and very clean.

Good hot water and pressure in the shower. Breakfast is very basic - white bread for toast, yogurt, cereal, one hot item (biscuits and gravy).

Pros: Was close to our event.

Cons: The room did not seem vacuumed as I found a dime on the floor and also found a rock next to the refrigerator, the permanently installed bathmat in the tub had black mold all around it. The table had a hole in it and the desk chair was very stained didn’t want to go near it. The laundry facility was directly across from my room,They might want to think about keeping the door closed at all times. The occupants above our room or either moving furniture all night or painting, what else could explain the cats and shuffling around between 1 and 6 AM.

Pros: The location was good.

Cons: The room was very dated and the bathroom was dirty. Stuff running down the walls and floors not clean.

Cons: I almost fell three times standing in the bath tub. The tub has sides that narrows the inside standing area. I would recommend a safety bar. Operating the window A/C was a hassle. No directions and lots of buttons not readily identified. The unit was also placed in the far corner of the room next to where the closet rack is located to hang clothes... thus reducing air flow to the room when clothes are hung up.

Cons: The room is small. Just as the other reviewer comment, I found some dead bugs lying in the corner of wall.

Pros: Location in Dubuque, IA was perfect; central to all the places we wanted to visit.

Cons: The building's lack of soundproofing coupled with sticking doors made for many startling jumps as our 'neighbors' slammed into and out of their adjacent rooms. Loud conversation in the parking lot was disruptive. The linens were so bleach burned and thin I had to call housekeeping for a new top sheet; the towels were so rough they actually hurt when using to dry off. When morning came I discovered where all the flies were coming from; gaps around the door clearly showed up with the light streaming through by at least 3/8 inch. Weather stripping would be a great idea. I can't image staying in winter.

Cons: Room was filthy not cleaned what so ever.. ordered non smoking... Full ash tray sitting in room.. needless to say I didn't stay

Pros: Nothing except for the staff at the desk were polite and efficient

Cons: Lower level room was damp and musty. Ceiling leaked during rain. AC control knobs broken & shafts wouldn't move. No cold water at sink. Bad beds - sheets seemed clean but were stained. No sound at TV. Worst Motel 6 stay I've had, and about the worst motels I've ever stayed in.

Cons: No towels or washcloths....had to ask for them. Bathroom floor dirty....asked for it to b cleaned. Still dirty after cleaning. Manager on cell when wanted to talk with him.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: No

Pros: Friendly staff, clean room, lots of channels, nice to have a 24 hour coffee bar. Right off the highway.

Cons: No elevator made us have to take several trips for our luggage--this should probably be listed somewhere on the info page. Breakfast selection was slim, and the juice was fake. No pool, and nothing really to do in the area.

Pros: Staff was very nice, had a good breakfast provided.

Cons: Tub was dirty, was left less than half a roll of toilet paper for the 2 nights we were there. Only got a new roll when we had to ask for one from the staff. Bathroom had 2.5 shampoo bottles & no conditioner.

Cons: Pillows were very uncomfortable

Pros: Easy in easy out

Cons: No

Pros: Location

Cons: Very unclean. Half eaten snickers bar in the recliner. Make up on two pillows. Black stuff smeared on shower walls. Had to ask for water machine to be turned on for breakfast. Would not stay there again even though the location was great.

Cons: soft mattresses no kleenex in room
