Rooms are always outstanding along with the staff who makes sure our stay was amazing. We always book 2 rooms so grandkids can stay with us for quality time while visiting. They love the breakfast which cannot be better. Just fantastic food. Again, staff is so accommodating and just a joy. We will be back again since we only stay at Best Western Plus in Dubuque.
Room was cold even though i had heater on. It never warmed up the room. Breakfast was good. Stayed here before with no problems so assuming this was just a one off
Great place to stay in Dubuque. Super close to the University, spacious rooms and all the conveniences like laundry, game room, pool, fitness room and hot tub.

The pool and amenities were nice. It would appear this was an outdoor pool that has been covered.
