Hotel Julien Dubuque

Hotel Julien Dubuque

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel Julien is an historic gem located in a prime downtown Dubuque location with a short walking distance to the Mississippi River, museums and other attractions, and some of the best restaurants Dubuque has to offer. This well maintained hotel appears so grand with rich dark wood tones, polished brass and sophisticated decor. It's no wonder famous Americans such as Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Al Capone, and Sylvester Stallone chose Hotel Julien when in this area. We experienced a very friendly staff throughout our stay and plentiful free parking (with several spots in front and in back), clean rooms. Our room was clean, quiet, and very comfortable offering a restful night's sleep. Don't let the age of this hotel dissuade you from staying--it's been modernized to also include having charging spots for electric vehicles. We also felt very safe in this area walking to/from all the major sites and restaurants within a mile radius. We did extensive research for where to stay within Dubuque and surrounding areas to include as far as Galena, IL and this is simply the best place to stay when visiting the Dubuque area! Lastly, Expedia did a flawless job in room booking fulfillment as usual!"

Hilton Garden Inn Dubuque Downtown

8/10 Good

"It was attached to a casino which I wasn’t interested in. The attached restaurant was not open the night we were there so that was disappointing. But the breakfast (for a fee) was delicious. The staff was helpful and nice. The room was clean although it was short on lighting. All in all, I would recommend to a friend"

Days Inn by Wyndham Dubuque

Days Inn by Wyndham Dubuque

"Stayed one night on a Saturday. Property is large but secluded right off the main road. Room was nice sized with large TV. Pool was closed but pool area looked very nice. Went to attached lounge for food which was ok. Bar a little rowdy but Iowa football was on. Breakfast choices were good. Was able to park right outside our room."
