Top Storybook Park & Zoo Hotel Reviews

American Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"Only complaint was the breakfast bar could use some healthy options."

Hotel Julien Dubuque

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful historic hotel with "old world charm," named after the first permanent European settler in Iowa, Julien Dubuque. The rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean with modern accessories (coffee marker, TV). Caroline's restaurant, located in the building and named after a local who took over her husband's ice cutting business in 1875, is a wonderful, cozy restaurant offering filets, salmon, etc. cooked to perfection with slight variations to the usual. With reasonable rates, Hotel Julien is also within walking distance of businesses and the aquarium museum downtown!"
