"Our Stay"
Overall score4.0/ 5
It was great but a few comments. The Queen beds were way small for queen I think they were full sized beds. The fact that you have to ask at the desk for stay over service is not great as I did not see the note the clerk should ask when checking guests in so people realize this. Get a new coffee pod and green tea company they are not good the fruity green tea is not tea to tea drinkers. Thank You.

"My favorite spot in Dubuque."
Overall score5.0/ 5
The hotel Julien is a beautiful hotel, with a bit of a creepy side. I come to Dubuque every couple of months for work and used to stay exclusively at Hampton or Hilton garden inn. This hotel is a great location, easily walkable to not only the best restaurants in town but also the elevator and the old beautiful architecture. Coffee from Caroline's is the best. There are no smart tvs which Jerrod Netflix from being a thing, but all in all I prefer this hotel because of the character:.
