We were extremely disappointed in the water park. A lot of the water features were broke and not working. I climbed up the ropes on the side nearest the concessions and found a hole my child could fit through with concrete flooring at least 15 feet below. There was black nylon rope tied over the hole, but I definitely did... More

Most things here were okay, but nothing was very good. The door to our room was damaged and we had to push/pull pretty hard to open it. Toiletries were cheap and mismatched. Food was blah. Second-floor registration and lack of automatic doors at the entry--both awkward and not very welcoming. We also disliked that there was only one entrance in... More

We have been to the Grand Harbor Resort twice now, each time taking two different grandchildren. They loved the waterpark and game areas and we liked that there was enough fun things to do for the different ages of grandchildren (ages 2-9). Having a good restaurant right there was very convenient. The food was good and kid-friendly. But when we... More

This was my second stay at Grand Harbour - the previous stay nearly 7 years ago. My wife and I were both slightly disappointed on our recent stay. The room was O.K. but the sheets had several holes in them, didn't fit the bed, and therefore pulled off the corners every time someone turned. The room was't spic-and-span clean. The... More

my husband and I stayed here because we went to a concert at the casino across the street. The whole area was very nice. our room was really spacious and overlooked the Mississippi river. It has a watepark for the kids that I'm sure was fun, and it had a River museum also in the complex. The Casino was fun... More

The waterpark was fun for each of us in our family of 6. Slides for all ages, a large swim/play area for toddlers, small lazy river, big climb on water gym with 2 slides, and a tube slide. It was clean, warm, and large enough that it didn't seem too crowded. The rooms were also nice and clean, microwave, nice... More

I visited the Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark in Dubuque with three of my grandkids during their spring break. What a great value! Although we have a similar venue very close to our home, it was well worth the 3 1/2 hour drive to Dubuque to experience Grand Harbor's hospitality. The waterpark is well staffed with lifeguards and has plenty... More

Two double beds and a pullout sofa. (there are 5 in our familes), small fridge & microwave in all rooms. The room was decent but looking... More
