Great getaway!
For a moderately priced hotel, this was really nice. Hotel was very clean, as was the room. Bed was quite comfortable for us. Not too hard or too soft. My only negative would be no exhaust fan in the bathroom, not even the continuous kind.
We have stayed here before several times and would definitely stay here again. Lots of dining choices within walking distance.

I would stay again, very clean and convenient.
Check-in took a long time because the receptionist was on a very long call with someone asking questions about the hotel...it seemed like an eternity. She probably should have put the person on hold and checked the three different people including me in. The shuttle was super convenient and that guy was great!

A nice hotel in downtown Dubuque
The Holiday Inn is a nice hotel in downtown Dubuque. It is new and modern and quite comfortable. The rooms were nice and clean and we had a great view from our room.
We had plans for most of the afternoon and early evening outside of the hotel. We planned to enjoy the evening in the hotel pool and hot tub. But the hot tub was not functional and the pool area had a big sign that says "Under Renovation". Disappointed that we could not use the hot tub.

Gross, won't return.
The room was dirty (door rails for the shower had built up gunk, sink drains were very dirty, they was a random 2 inch screw on thy bedroom floor). All of the faucets were really loose. The bed was 3 inches off the base so I hit my leg on it walking by the bed. Pull out bed had about a 2 inch jail mattress. Walls and headboard were all scuffed up and dirty. Headboard looked like something sprayed or to clean, but forgot to clean. Both air conditioner panels were broken and taped back on.

Dirty bedding
The over all stay was alright. Was not to happy apon arrival walking into our room and seeing what looked like ashes from a cigar on our bed. I refused to sleep in that bed bud my husband brushed it off and slept in it. We knew they were very busy and most likely didnt have any other rooms so we didn't bother with it.
Tried to add a photo but the site wouldnt allow me to.

The hotel is very clean and has a restaurant with a bar for a quick bite and drink. The downstairs of the hotel is very spacious if you want to sit and hang out for awhile. Great location too!

This was a good hotel, but the walls were so thin that we had to listen to someone's loud 2:00 a.m. "festivities" which was gross. We also ended up staying during a soccer tournament and there were sooo many families taking up the lobby area that didn't seem to care that there were other people also staying at the hotel that weren't part of the tournament. Both of these things aren't things that the hotel can fix necessarily but would be useful information for someone who is looking for a quiet stay. Besides that, the location was great, the staff were friendly, and the rooms were clean!

Hotel was clean and had a contemporary look but some common modern amenities were missing. Notably missing were charging outlets/stations common to most hotels these days. Also we were located next to the elevator shaft, which was fairly loud.
