Room was much larger and had much more character and charm than traditional hotels. Very dog friendly. They provided a great home cooked breakfast included in the price. It was more quiet than in traditional hotels. It will be our first choice in the future when staying in Dubuque. Lots of street parking available. Owners have done a great job of maintaining this building’s original character, furniture, and fixtures while modernizing it. Beautiful new walking shower in our room. Some rooms had clawfoot tubs.

This is a property that has been in gradual renovation since the 1980's by the owners who manage the Richards House and is indeed their labor of love so understand that you are entering with the knowledge that it is in status of renovation. You'll love all the original parts and pieces that remain present since the 1800's. We'll be back.

Cute stay in Dubuque

The stay overall went well. Upon arriving I didn’t think the lodging was open because of the scaffolding and general condition of the outside of the building. It is very old and part of the historic registry but needs significant upkeep. The inside has many historic pieces and interesting history. The walls /painting/wallpaper etc also need some updates. Our room had a really great clawfoot tub. They have hundreds of dvds to use as well. There is a common refrigerator to use and they leave the leftover snack out for guests. The breakfast is wonderful and very filling! It is also a great location next to the farmers market.
