Holiday Inn Dubuque/Galena By Ihg - A riverside hotel with heated pool, event spaces, and craft dining

Located near the Diamond Jo Casino, the pet-friendly Holiday Inn Dubuque/Galena features almost 10000 square feet of meeting space across eight rooms, including two 300-person ballrooms. The River Rock Kitchen & Tap restaurant serves regional craft beers and a contemporary menu, complemented by seasonal outdoor dining around a firepit. Every suite includes a spacious walk-in shower, oversized work desk, living area with flat-screen TV, and a king bedroom with second TV. This three-star Dubuque hotel offers a heated indoor pool, whirlpool, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout. Positioned one mile from the America's River Project's 90-acre campus, the property sits across from the Five Flags Center. An 8-passenger van provides transportation within a 2-mile radius, including service to Dubuque Regional Airport.

Pros

Two ballrooms can each accommodate 300 guests

Seasonal patio dining with firepit overlooking Main Street

Complimentary local shuttle service within 2-mile radius

Children under 11 eat free with adult meal purchase

Cons

Located 9.5 miles from Dubuque Regional Airport

Parking available only in separate garage structure

“Holiday Inn Dubuque is suitable for both business and family trips, with spacious meeting area, River Rock Kitchen and Tap restaurant, and its proximity to the Mississippi River. Although there were some mentions of inconsistent service, its pet-friendly policy, free parking, and kids eat free program add to its appeal. In my opinion, the hotel is a good choice if you want to explore the city.”
