Elevator didn’t work well. Property cleanliness in question. Sketchy clientele. Very old, uncomfortable beds. We tried to go cheap and it backfired. You do get what you pay for so I guess as a silver lining the room was at the correct price point.

The elevator hardly works. I didn't get the room i paid for. I found a knife under the mattress when I looked for bed bugs. I have stayed at this hotel several times but this will be the last time.

It was very nostalgic. Room was clean, but straight out of the 50's. They still provided a physical key to enter the room. Bed was comfortable. I would stay here again.

I gave this place 2/5 stars. It does not deserve a 1 and nowhere near a 3. You do not provide enough characters here to explain. Please see my Google Review where there is pictures and all of the reasons - https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fnqxy5zTcZg2Mi2j8

Solid Historic Hotel

It's an old hotel with a lot of history in a very solid location to explore Dubuque. Great value for the cost. Probably wouldn't bring my family here, but would stay solo again without a doubt.

It was nice and convenient for an event at the cathedral. Cute old-timey downtown hotel with lots of room. Super friendly staff helped me with finding a hair dryer when I forgot mine at home.

Would stay again

We went here partially for the old-school feel, and it did not disappoint! Everything was fine, and about as expected for the price. Would stay here again.
