Our room key didn’t work twice and left us stranded and waiting for someone to fix the battery on the door lock so we could get back into the room and gather our stuff.

The hotel lobby was nice the rooms outdated and dirty. No early check in at 2pm which is rediculous for travelers. The breakfest that you pay $14.99 for is a sub par version of what would be free at a super 8!!! I do not recommend this hotel to any one!!!!

It is nice to be right downtown in Dubuque and close to restaurants and shops. Parking was free and available, but usually we had to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the elevator.

Updated hotel near everything. Front desk staff very professional. Clean room. Parking is a little confusing. It’s free. There are 3 levels, so drive around the hotels block if you cannot find parking on the level you are on. Each level’s entrance is different, but the elevator is available on each level.

I appreciated the value and the location to Galena, Illinois. This was my second stay here and it proved to be an excellent choice, clean easy to find and great location. I plan to revisit and take advantage of other tourist attractions near this hotel...i.e. Mississippi Museum.
