On a weekend vacation, we wanted to stay at a place close to the casinos (there are two very close to the Hotel), good restaurants and a comfortable room. After searching the Internet, I ran across the Hotel Julien in Dubuque and heard from two coworkers that it was worth "checking into". I made my reservations from the computer and... More

Dubuque is an interesting old town (at least parts of it), and this is a great place to stay as you look around. This is an old hotel but recently very nicely remodeled. Restaurant downstairs is decent also. I will certainly stay here again if I am in the area. More

We decided to stay in the Capone Suite after we got married as a special treat. I am well traveled and I have to say that was the nicest room I have ever stayed in!! This hotel was totally redone and just awesome. Some down falls: Can hear the train all night. They did not clean our room or even... More

I travel a lot and stay in many hotels, mostly chains. So when I get to stay in a nice, non-chain hotel, it's a rarity. This hotel is recently renovated, all the modern touches with all the charm still intact at this nearly 100 year old establishment. Located at the end of Main Street in Dubuque, this hotel is conveniently... More

Beautifully restored historic hotel with modern touches and lovely, authentic furnishings. Staff was friendly and accomodating, rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Our beds were especially comfortable, and the linens were exceptional. Everything was sparkling clean, from the modern bathroom to the adjoining living area. Decor was very tasteful in the guest room and throughout the hotel. This is a... More

The front desk clerk was very welcoming and gave us nice corner room on the 6th floor. Lots of views and being on the river side lots of morning light in the living area. We stayed in a... More

This was my second time in Dubuque. Two years ago I stayed at another property, and while the accommodations were fine...the check-in process had a bit of an issue. I noticed the Julien in my wanderings and even had a bite to eat at Carolines. So this time around, I booked the Julien and my stay was fabulous. Understand, I... More

Great staff! Wonderfully appointed rooms - clean, modern, and quiet. Very comfortable beds (and I have a bad back) The on-property restaurant, Caroline, is a great place for breakfast and both hotel and restaurant staff go the extra mile to make your stay a memorable one. Reasonable rate for the level of service and the room quality. Close to restaurants,... More

superb hotel. Excellent staff, atmosphere. A truly historical hotel once owned by Al Capone is shining again. Something like 30 million dollars recently on remodelling. Great location for sightseeing More
