The Staff was great!...room was clean but across from ice machine and noisy. Broken elevator was inconvenient and limited access to stairs. Stairwells could use some cleaning both inside and parking lot areas. More lighting in parking ramps! Enjoyed the shuttle service but it is limited...have to wait- first come first serve, and they don't cross bridges or rivers...RiverRock was a wonderful experience...

I called in advance multiple times for early check in, each time seems I got a different answer and when I called on the way there, after noon, the person who answered was snitty and said I can’t ask for early check in until after 2 pm. Appears there needs to be better, and consistent training. Bar folks were great, only reason I give an ‘average’ rating for hotel staff, below average for front desk staff.

This hotel is in a historical area, near the river, and the main transportation routes. There were areas outside and inside undergoing renovation, and the interior was wonderfully comfortable. The parking was limited to street and a city garage a couple blocks' walk, but the validation was a breeze. I was very pleased with the bedroom, and I find the housekeeping and front desk services to always be warm and assuring. I skipped any dining. If you're looking for an urban setting near the water, not too loud but not boring, this is it. There is construction here and there, but there was a lot of cafe and dining options available nearby at a seemingly broad price range. I look forward to returning when my itinerary spells IA.

The staff was very nice & friendly. Loved the location - right next to Five Flags Center. Only issued we had was the parking. They were working on the parking lot so had to park across the street in the city public parking. There was a fee to park there but the hotel validated our tickets so there was no charge. Will totally stay there everytime I visit Dubuque! 😊👍

Not reccomended
The Hotels.com website described this property as having free self-parking. The parking lot was undergoing a major renovation, forcing guests to park in a lot that was inconvenient, and had (what appeared to be) homeless people sleeping in it at night. The parking voucher did not work, forcing me to pay $10 to exit the lot. In addition, the construction was very loud, forcing me to change rooms twice to avoid incessant noise.

The front desk staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Be forewarned- if you’re “me-time” exceeds 8am the housekeeping staff will not service your room.

Great.Hotel!!
Dubuque/Galena Holiday Inn was fantastic! Stayed here with family & will do it again. Check-in was a breeze. Breakfast was great. Room was superbly clean. I couldn't have asked for anything more. And if I had, I'm sure they would have tried to help out. Was very pleased with our stay here! Thank you HI Dubuque/Galena Iowa
