Beautiful hotel in a great location.
The hotel was gorgeous in a great location. They have a parking lot with sufficient spots available for guests. It had a 1920s lux vibe, but with modern facilities. Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the hot tub. Other than a couple minor things (being out of shampoo and conditioner when we first arrived), our stay was comfortable. We'd be back again and would recommend this hotel.

Beautiful Refurbished Historic Hotel
Beautiful gem of a refurbished boutique historic hotel in the heart of downtown Dubuque. Super friendly and helpful staff, nice, big clean rooms, nice big bathroom, too. Only mild negative is no USB ports in room but management says they are coming soon. Stayed on a referral from a friend and was not disappointed! If you are in Dubuque, stay here and you won't be disappointed either!

Great experience
I loved staying here. I was in town to watch the March Madness basketball games at Diamond Joe's Casino. The hotel has an amazing location downtown Dubuque. The hotel is walking distance to some great bars and restaurants downtown. It also is an easy walk to Diamond Joe's Casino. My room was great. I will forsure stay here again.

great place
Great Hotel we did a couples staycation on Monday night. We had the pool and hot tub to ourselves! Room was clean and comfy. The cons not much room to hang cloths or jackets. No free breakfast, dust on window sash. Area of town was great ' plenty of eating and entertainment nearby. Checkout the river museum and aquarium across the street!!

Anniversary trip
Totally awesome place. If you want it they pretty much have it. Good all around everything. The only thing i found that kind of bummed me out was we had to get a plugin adapter for charging our cell phones in our room, but we just stopped at walmart just a minute up the road for one. But we will definstely be back.
Beautiful Christmas tree! Excellent room and location

Hotel Julien was perfect!
What a beautiful hotel! Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and afforded us a wonderful view of the cathedral and the bluff. The lobby and Riverboat Lounge were beautifully decorated, keeping the historic nature of the hotel in mind. We walked everywhere - museums, churches, shopping, restaurants - the hotel was so conveniently located. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

New weekend destination, great all around!
This property was by far one of the best I have ever stayed at. The atmosphere was so inviting. The historical information online was so amazing. Everything we needed was either in the hotel or within a stones throw. The bed seemed like it was too firm when we first tried it out, but ended up being the first time I have been pain free after a night's sleep in forever! The hot tub and pool area was clean and unlike other properties we have stayed at was not full of children in the hot tub without parents!
