Solid Historic Hotel

It's an old hotel with a lot of history in a very solid location to explore Dubuque. Great value for the cost. Probably wouldn't bring my family here, but would stay solo again without a doubt.

My first room was freezing cold with no way to make it warmer. Also, you had to climb over the toilet to access the shower. Thankfully they moved me to a warm room with a normal bathroom.

Didn't catch the name of the lady who checked us in, but she was very nice and we appreciated all her suggestions for things to do in the area. Room was very clean with the exception of the bathroom. It had a used towel hanging on ghe back of the door and there was hair on the bath tub drain.

My husband loved the quirkiness of the place. I felt it smelly heavily of cigarette smokes. On check-in, we were supposed to have queen room and they had given them all away. We had to take a full size bed and we barely slept all night.

Enjoyed my stay

It was nice and convenient for an event at the cathedral. Cute old-timey downtown hotel with lots of room. Super friendly staff helped me with finding a hair dryer when I forgot mine at home.

A night at the Canfield

Well, we knew it was an old historic hotel preserved in time like a time capsule. Retro furnishings from the 60s and 70s and quirky. We knew it wasn't a Hilton, and that was fine with us. For the price you can't beat it. Lots of places to eat and chill right around the hotel. Expectations are everything, and we weren't expecting much, but for a place to sleep it was fine. Lots of character if you like that old quirky throwback stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Bed was comfy, large room, fridge, micro, basic. And that's all we expected. I like high end hotels, Hilton was booked, but this was just fine.

Bait and switch

We didn't get the room we booked. Was supposed to have 2 beds but only had a single twin. Plaster falling off wall by elevator on 5th floor.
