Staff was great. We had an issue with the heat in our room, maintenance arrived at our room as soon as he got to work. He got us a new room, made sure the cleaning staff took care of the room ASAP and went to the front desk to retrieve our new key cards.

I appreciated the value and the location to Galena, Illinois.
This was my second stay here and it proved to be an excellent choice, clean easy to find and great location.
I plan to revisit and take advantage of other tourist attractions near this hotel...i.e. Mississippi Museum.

It is nice to be right downtown in Dubuque and close to restaurants and shops. Parking was free and available, but usually we had to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the elevator.
