Historic building that seems to be in fair condition, but cleanliness could be improved. Pool and hot tub had visible and considerable amounts of dirt settled at the bottom, so we were unable to use those. The bed quilt had a spill or stain of some kind that we didn’t notice until the morning of checkout. We didn’t have any drinks in the bedroom so it definitely was there before we got there. Made me call into question whether bedding had been changed for us. The thermostat didn’t work properly. Our key cards were deactivated almost an hour prior to checkout time. Both times we ate at the restaurant we were charged for items we didn’t order. For $300+ per night you just expect better. Housekeeping staff in the hallway were audibly complaining about their job and how “sick of this place” they are.

It all seemed promising - a sumptuous lobby steeped in another time … so right for this historic river town. The check in clerk was OK but hardly made us feel comfortable as her style was curt and she seemed annoyed that we had questions…..mmmm. Anyway we get up to our room and upon first blush it’s great - similar vibe to the lobby and then my companion announced” There’s no window” What?? Really??? NO WINDOW - a small skylight but hardly big enough to escape through if there were a fire … yikes. Yes there was a large bathroom, and a comfortable seating area and other appropriate ammenities but NO WINDOW. Upon check out I asked how many of their rooms had no windows and she said 6 … and that “Expedia” opts for these cheaper rooms. No where in the room description did I see mention of NO WINDOW - that would have been good to know. It also would have been appropriate for the check in clerk to mention that detail and offer us an upgrade if we were interested (rooms were available) - but she didn’t - ugh. Delicious Chocolate Shoppe ice shop across the street if you like that sort of thing….and several breweries in the neighborhood too.

Beautiful Historic Building

This beautiful historic hotel did not disappoint. Its decor transports you back in time while still making you feel quite elegant and casual at the same time. It’s clean everywhere you go and having plenty of parking and a somewhere to dine onsite is very convenient. I wasn’t able to get an appointment at the spa but it just made me want to go back. Until next time Dubuque!

It’s definitely an old hotel evidenced by the one pane windows equipped heavily with huge spiders (on the outside). If you don’t mind the noise from the train and like that old hotel feel with modern conveniences, this is the one for you! It really is a neat hotel.
