Pros
Two ballrooms accommodate up to 300 guests each
Seasonal outdoor dining area with firepit
Children under 11 eat free with adult meal purchase
Complimentary local shuttle service within 2-mile radius
Cons
Eight miles from airport
Limited parking in attached garage for large vehicles
“Near the Mississippi River, this pet-friendly hotel strikes me as a practical choice for families, given the variety of room options and kids-eat-free program; the indoor pool and whirlpool are nice perks after visiting local attractions. The on-site restaurant and outdoor dining area offer relaxed settings, plus there's complimentary parking and a local shuttle. It's a solid base for exploring Dubuque.”
