The room was very clean. Greatly appreciated them holding our room until after midnight. The staff was very helpful, our keycards didn’t work and they quickly got us an alternative room. Breakfast had all the main options. Would stay here again.
Front desk attendant when we checked in was very unhelpful. Luckily we didn't need to have contact with her again. Room was clean and comfortable. Air conditioner was good. Breakfast was the usual for a hotel, nothing special, cold eggs.
The room was nice. I have 11 kids and finding staff that doesn't roll their eyes when you make a request is difficult. Whether it's for extra towels or pillows, they were quite accommodating. The kids got to enjoy the pool, and I had a great night's sleep.
There was only one person handling the front desk, she was was on a long phone call helping with a reservation when I arrived. This had me and the others in line waiting quite a bit to be checked in. Lots of staff was around and walking behind the desk but no one else jumped in to help with customers. The pool area was nice, the room was older and smelled like smoke but was today and breakfast needed more options. The hotel did the job for a 1 night stay but it wasn’t anything to write home about.
Breakfast was very good. Better than others we've experienced. All staff was friendly. Pool was grea

I did not like ice machine not working on my floor. My wife had a question for the front desk. Left after 20 min. Gave up.
The room was real nice
The property was great
The breakfast was just average.
I will come back as the good was better than most.
The pool area was really nice. We had a lot of fun. The rooms were ok. Just normal rooms. I liked the temperature on the wall. Bathroom could've been a little updated. And the breakfast was not very good. And it was HOT everywhere. I would go back for the pool area. But that's about it.
It was clean. We were there Fri-Mon and never had any maid service. No garbage dumped, beds made, new towels, etc. When we called to ask for clean towels we were told to come down to the front desk to get them. Front desk staff that checked us out didn't even ask how our stay was or say thank you or anything--I don't think he even said a single word-just printed the receipt that I had asked for, We were 4 adults and didn't use the pool area, but it had ping pong, arcade games, etc which would be fun for kids. Breakfast was in the pool area--so very steamy and had the chlorine smell as you were eating. For us, it definitely wasn't worth the price. Next time we are in Dubuque we will stay elsewhere.
