The room, breakfast and staff were just exceptional! I cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was. The temperature of the room was fantastic, the bed was so comfortable. Robert was so attentive, kind, and fun to talk with. He made all of his guests feel so welcome at breakfast and went out of his way to see breakfast was perfect and everyone was satisfied with their meal. The food was fantastic! The egg dish, fresh fruit and cranberry bread were amazing as was the coffee which was attentively topped off many times! Thank you Robert and Kate! We will be back and will highly recommend your beautiful, historic bed and breakfast.

Absolutely nothing!

Inn was as expected for a building built in the 1800s. Bed was comfortable and breakfast was really nice. The room and bathroom were very clean. Mobile air conditioners and fans kept the room cool. The chairs in the room were in need of new cushions, but other than that I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Inn keeper was nice and very easy to contact. Public parking across the street ($.50/hour during the day and free at night). lots of stairs, so keep that in mind if you're not too agile.

The bed and shower were comfortable after 7 hours of driving. After getting settled in the room, my friend and I walked to supper. We decided on Jimmy John's, but there are many restaurants to choose from on Main St. depending on how much you want to spend. We had a good night's sleep, and at 8 am, Robert had a great breakfast sandwich for us. There was a buffet with fruit salad, pastries, and yogurt. My favorite part of the stay was Robert telling us the history of the house while we had breakfast. I would stay there again.

The house is a little worn out and needs some renovation. It was clean and tidy, which was most important to my friend and I. There are antiques that were interesting.

Stairs. If you like stairs, stairs to the front entrance, stairs to the upper floors. Room. My 1 guest room had a queen bed w/ footboard, comfy chair, mini microwave, mini fridge w/ small ice box, Roku TV, large dresser w / mirror, rack w/ 8 hangars, small window A/C, tower fan, and small bath w/ shower. Everything worked, there was a couple of water bottles and some snack size candy bars, there was the typical shampoo, soap, etc. For me the room was comfortable. Vibe. Old time 'life styles of the rich and famous' mansion vibe. But it has seen better days. Keys. The room keys have a large pewter medallion featuring the inn. Make sure you return it or you will get contacted by Robert asking you to please return it. I put mine on the front desk as instructed in the PDF file as no one was around when I left. Robert called me, He said the maid had told him the wrong room number, but he should have remembered which room I was staying in [more on that]. Breakfast. I thought the breakfast was OK. There was a good assortment of fruits, pastries ['Sticky buns' were delicious]. There were yogurts, granola, nuts, and some cereals. Coffee is served by Robert, there is no hot cocoa [my favorite]. There is only one hot dish, prepared ahead of time. For my 2 days it was eggs over ham or sausage over muffin or toast. No pancakes or other hot dishes. Not the greatest breakfast but OK. Accommodations. All in all it was OK. Certainly not 5/5 or 1/5. It is rated 3 stars so 3/5 seems about right.

Parking. Metered parking, enforced 8:00am to 5:00pm Mon-Sat. Does take coins, $0.25/15 minutes. Only a few spots in front of inn. Otherwise have to hoof it from parking lot across street. Chinese innkeeper, Robert, said you don't need to worry about parking tickets if checking out in the 9:00am hour. Innkeeper. Robert, although nice, seemed a little forgetful to me at times. Forgetting my room number, and forgetting I was staying 2 nights. When I was packing my motorcycle for my day trip [I was going to check out the next morning] he came out and asked for the room key before he realized I was coming back and staying another night.

Walking into the beautiful home, being greeted by Robert, with never-ending first class hospitality, along with the comfort and history was beyond all expectations. Breakfast was truly the 'frosting on the cake.' Robert was so kind to take the time to share the history of the home, and the family, with us. This was our first trip to Dubuque, but would not even consider looking elsewhere to stay if we get to Dubuque again.

There was nothing that we did not like or that we did not enjoy. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The breakfast was outstanding. Similar to a good restaurant.

I’m a little d to have to climb to the third floor However the staff carried our luggage up and that was a big help. Also parking was in a public lot across the street which was a concern to me as the area I live in that would have been unsafe. Overall I would highly recommend this establishment The beds were comfortable, the rooms clean and the staff went out of their way to be both helpful and gracious.

We had never been to Dubuque, and, had never been to a bed and breakfast. Our anniversary was coming around, so we thought this would make a great weekend trip; true enough! Robert is a great host! We hope to come back that way again. Breakfast was delicious, the conversations among people were lively, and the location is pretty great. Thank you, Robert! Thank you, Dubuque!

Robert was a great host. Bed was comfy. Jet tub was huge. Breakfast was good. It's an awesome place to visit and see. We left relaxed and happy.

Electrical was goofy but that was made known from the beginning. Didn't feel unsafe or anything just had to think about what we could and couldn't run at the same time to prevent popping a fuse or breaker. Would be the same in any other building that old.

It was a lovely old inn built in 1894. The interior has some beautiful spaces-living room, dining room and our guest room. Convenient location. Robert was so helpful and accommodating-above and beyond! The breakfast was delicious.

Unfortunately the power went off during a storm in the early evening of our stay and was not restored until after we went to bed. This is surely not the fault of the property or the innkeeper, but it made our stay less than perfect.

The hotel is historic and close to town. Staff was friendly and room.very comfortable.

We were charged an additional fee of 3 percent for using a credit card which was not disclosed until check in. Also our room was on the 3rd floor so lots of stairs. The refrigerator was not turned on which we did not realize and this resulted in spoiled food.
