We stayed for only two nights but had a wonderful time. I would have given it an excellent rating, but I feel it was too pricey. We went on a Living Social package so it was then worth the money. We stayed in a premier king suite and it was like a one bedroom condo. We had full size appliances,... More

Dear Wanger1969, Thank you for sharing your comments regarding your recent stay at Hotel Julien Dubuque. Our apology for the mix-up; contractually, we need to respect the Travelzoo program. The corner suites are terrific rooms to simply just "chill out". Whether it is a whirlpool or premier king, one can almost have no reason to leave. We truly appreciate the... More

Dear Stlchiropractor, In reviewing your comments regarding your Travelzoon purchase, it is unfortunate that the days preferred were already reserved. Out of the next 47 days, there are 42 days were the $199 voucher is available to be used. In addition, there maybe cancellations that occur on the few days that presently are sold out, thus the voucher could have... More
