Top Downtown Dubuque Hotel Reviews

Hotel Julien Dubuque

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location downtown. Walkable to breweries and restaurants"

Wyndham Garden Galena Hotel & Day Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. The staff were very friendly & accommodating. The breakfast was good. The outside patio was a plus. Very nice place to relax. This is our third year staying 5 nights at a time while in the Galena area. Would recommend this hotel whether you are staying one night or several nights."

Grand Harbor Resort

8/10 Good

"Great location. Bathroom sink had a leak - reported this to the front desk. Lowonda - was excellent in keeping the breakfast area tidy. She is such a hard worker and kept this pace each day we were there. Disappointed there was no bread options for toast. Photo of the breakfast in the elevators were a bit deceiving. Waterpark was great and enjoyed the hot tub."
