“Holiday Inn Dubuque has potential, particularly for those on business; the on-site restaurant is convenient, and I hear the staff are genuinely nice. Still, I noted a few complaints about cleanliness, and some IHG members have reported issues with bookings, which gives me pause. Addressing these inconsistencies would elevate the experience considerably.”
