I have stayed here many times. This was the absolute worst stay ever. The hotel was taken over by new owners and they appear to have no interest in running a hotel. We had to pry the elevator open to get out and that was the best part.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Enjoyed my stay

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.

First of all in the elevator there is a hand written sign that says" When you get to your desired floor HOLD the door open button so the door will open". Then the elevator doesn't stop even with the floor and my first step out was face first on the floor as the elevator stopped about 3 inches above the floor. The room felt like a jail cell, you can open window all the way open (4th floor) and no bars on the screen so a child could fall out, toilet is so low to floor as if you are using a kindergarten bathroom toilet, tub is long but super skinny, no ac/no heat. If room is too hot you have to turn on ceiling fan, TV is around 9 channels and mainly cartoon

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.

Staying here was like stepping back in time to the “50’s”! The location is great. One block from Diamond Jo and restaurants and bars downtown. If you stay on Saturday night, the Rainbow bar is a must! Will definitely stay there again!
