I stay at this hotel often. Have always loved it. But I had something happen to me that has never happened before and should never happen to anyone. The front desk checked me into a room. I went up to the room, opened the door and I thought to myself -- Oh-oh, they gave me a smoking room. I could... More

Though the Hotel is beautiful the food is LESS than desirable. We did the brunch for Mother's day. We ahd a party of 10 (not a cheap lunch). The server (though he was nice) never picked up plates and we had to ask for refills. Also everything was SALTY. The Chef needs more lessons in food prep. Also the lines... More

We stayed at the Hotel Julien for Mother's Day weekend. What a wonderful surprise. The location was right in the center of downtown Dubuque. The staff was very warm and welcoming and Kory, our bartender, in the hotel lounge was very personable. The rooms are very nicely updated with huge showers, granite countertops, personal Keurig coffee makers, etc. We had... More

In town for a wedding, stayed in a 2 room suite which allowed for one bedroom and one living area that had a couch turned into a bed (for a second couple).

If you enjoy staying in "period" hotels that have been refurbished, the Julien in Dubuque is an excellent choice. Room was very good with stained bed spread being the only complaint. Amenities, including bath robes, were appreciated. Again, everything was very good except for the one glaring issue about the stains. Food in restaurant is very good. Gloriously the windows... More
