“A Gem”

I didn't make much use of any hotel services, just needed a place to sleep. The building was awesome, surrounded by plenty of cool downtown bars within easy walking distance. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was exceptionally nice. No complaints, I'd definitely stay here again, especially given that it was very reasonably priced.

“Exquisite”

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Julien to celebrate our anniversary and visit the nearby town of Galena. The room and the entire hotel was beautiful and clean. The decorations were modern and tasteful. Love the convenience of the honor bar and snacks. The bed was very comfortable for a restful nights sleep. Only ordered room service for breakfast, but it was delicious and timely. It was a great value, and would definitely stay here again.

“Urban sophistication in Iowa”

I was at first skeptical about a "historical renovation" hotel.....Wow! What a gem. Everything was first class and beautiful. The attention to every detail is wonderful. Beautiful finishes and thoughtful comfort. The shower and bathroom was very well-done as well. The location is close to a lot of restaurants and pubs. Our room also had a great river view. I didn't have a chance to try the bar or restaurant on this trip but will definitely be back!

“AWESOME GET AWAY!!”

EXELLENT!! great food great entertainment and everyone was great!!

“Work Trip”

Very nice Hotel , was in town for work

“Top Notch Hotel right downtown with great views”

We loved this hotel - it recently underwent $30 Million in upgrades and it's right up there with some of the big city four star hotels we've visited before. The style of the hotel is gorgeous, our room over looked the Mississippi River. Beautiful bathrooms with Aveda products. No bathtubs for those who plan to take kids who need a bath tub. The pool area is nice - 4'10" at most and indoor. I wish we could have stayed longer to check out their spa. I would definitely stay here again.

“A must if you are going to be in Dubuque!”

Couldn't have asked for more! The room was beautiful, great view from the huge windows. Loved the decor in the room and the rest of the Hotel. We tried the pool which was large and kept at a comfortable temperature, and hot tub. The patio off the lounge had a good view and we enjoyed it both nights. Had lunch at Caroline's which was delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The price wasn't much different that some of the hotel chains we looked into, but this place was so much cooler! It was also within walking distance to most of downtown, the Fenlon Place Elevator, and the Mississippi River Museum, The Mississippi River, a casino and many restauraunts.

“Central location, lovely stay”

The hotel is lovely. Tasteful lobby with fireplace and three public computers. Nicely furnished rooms, marvelous linens, nice bathroom behind double doors (a nice touch). Restaurant served excellent food with fine service. Convenient and free parking. We could walk to everything we wanted to visit. We'll be back.

“Found Hotel Julien by accident....VERY impressed!”

Hotel Julien is an excellent place to stay. The rooms were nice sized and very well decorated. The front desk staff was very helpful and professional. Pool and fitness rooms were very clean and enjoyable. Classy place! We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Julien very much.

“Your downtown Dubuque destination”

The Hotel Julien is the place to stay in downtown. It is elegant and convenient. The beauty & history of this building are fascinating. Although it is an old building, it is thoroughly modern in way of all traditional hotel conveniences, while still retaining it's old world charm. The room, while not large, was comfortable, as were the beds and the temperature control of the room. It's a nice touch to have a refrigerator in the room. The staff at the front desk are friendly and more than willing to be helpful. It is conveniently located near the Mississippi River Museum, the Diamond Jo Casino, and the Mississippi River Walk.
