Hotel Julien Dubuque is a historic landmark. A hotel has been at 2nd and Main in Dubuque since before Iowa became a state. It is a small city hotel, and the room rates are competitive with chain motels, but it is a distinctly better experience than most. If you go to Dubuque and you need a place to stay, experience an actual old school hotel.

This is a beautiful hotel. Very clean and spacious room. Our room faced Main Street—traffic noise. One suggestion is more outlets for electronics. One outlet didn’t work at all. We had to charge 2 phones, watch, hearing aid, CPAP machine, iPad. If we come again, I’ll bring a power strip.

Nice older hotel close to attractions and restaurants. Clean hotel with very friendly staff. Our suite was a good size with a nice view. The furniture in our room was very old and worn, needs to be replaced. The windows don’t look like they’ve been cleaned for years. The furniture in the common areas looks great. Their website touts “elegant accommodations” well, maybe elegant at one time.

After taking a shower, I discovered that the hair dryer was broken. I had to go downstairs with wet hair to request a new one. The clerk at the front desk was on the phone and did not even attempt to acknowledge me with eye contact to let me know she was aware that I was there. When she did get off the phone, she seemed annoyed that she had to go and find a working hair dryer for me. There was no apologies for the inconvenience. The hotel was nice and the room was comfortable. I would stay here again but would hope that they have a friendlier person with good customer skills greeting and servicing the guests.
