  • Great rooms, comfortable beds, wonderful restaurant.
  • Parking on lower level when it was full.

“All in all, we were pleasantly surprised by how spacious and welcoming the lobby was. Our room was large, beds were comfy, nice bathroom. Everything very clean. Close to some other restaurants. Their restaurant was romantic and food was excellent shrimp & steak were to die for. Very good value for the money. We would stay here again.”

  • This Holiday Inn was very clean, had multiple meeting rooms, coffee, juice and cookies in the lobby and its own upscale restaurant in the lobby.
  • What I did not like was that the housekeeping staff did not change our linen or at least make up the beds nor did they change our towels. Had to call.

“Overall, the Holiday Inn in Dubuque, Iowa, located on the Mississippi River is beautiful, cost-friendly, and very convenient.”

“The hotel is downtown and near things you want to see. It is a short distance from gambling. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable.”

  • Common areas were nice. The staff was friendly and tried to be helpful.
  • Housekeeping was bad even when complained about.

“The Holiday Inn is in Dubuque (downtown) not in Galena. This is a typical hotel room, nothing special except that housekeeping was almost non existent. We stayed three nights and never had our beds changed. They pulled up the covers and didn't even straighten out the bottom sheet. They did not clean the coffee pot or the cups and glasses we used. The hotel is close to the river and all of the gambling. Would not stay there again.”

  • I liked the hotel lobby/hallway area very elegant.
  • Our room smelled moldy. Once we turned the air/heat on it helped.

“The hotel was located to a great restaurant and easy walking distance to the river/casinos. It was nice to see all of the restorations of the downtown area.”

  • Coffee/tea in room; iron/ironing board in room.
  • For a couple, 2 double beds vs. 1 queen/king bed was greatest drawback.

“Though halls were dated, room itself was fine: basic, functional, clean, and not lacking in anything I needed during my stay. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Walls between rooms must be somewhat thin and/or poorly sound insulated because noise from group in adjacent room could be clearly heard through wall, interrupting a.m. sleep. Overall, a fine hotel for the price paid. Would stay again.”

  • The housekeeping staff went above the call of duty.
  • Smokey smell.

“We were told we were in a non-smoking room however upon entering the room you could clearly tell the room had been smoked in previously. The housekeeping staff said they very recently made half of the hotel non-smoking. They have a spray they can use to help with the smoking odor. I was skeptical but must admit after they used the spray, I didn't detect the smoke smell anymore. Everyone we encountered was friendly. Not an overly huge pool area but adequate for our small family.”

  • The location of this hotel is exceptional. Very close to casinos, local shops, museums, restaurants, etc.
  • Hotel's restaurant does not have that much variety in their breakfast menu!

“We loved the time that spent at this hotel. Free wireless network, so if you have a laptop, I recommend you bring it. Even if you are not traveling for business purposes. The business center is a good resource for travelers as well. If you need to print stuff off the Internet you can do it for free, you can browse the Internet for a limited time. As I mentioned before, the hotel is within walking distance of Diamond Jo casino, the Mississippi River, Spirit River Rides, Museums, and several local shops. Six minutes to these locations walking. I would not recommend dining at the hotel restaurant since it is very expensive and the menu is very limited. The $27.00 for breakfast for two, which consisted of eggs, coffee, waffles, pancakes and some fruits.”
