HAMPTON INN DUBUQUE, Dubuque

The hotel sits behind strip malls off the highway, placing it close to fast-food chains, a supermarket, and a Walgreens. Downtown Dubuque is about 15 minutes away by car. The Dubuque Regional Airport is 18 km from the property. Free on-site parking makes it convenient for road travellers. The location serves as a good base for visiting Galena (27-minute drive) and the Field of Dreams movie site.

Guest rooms range from studios to suites. Many feature a shower/tub combination with anti-slip surfaces and grab bars. Mattresses tend to be firm, and pillows may be lumpy. Interior walls are thin, so noise from hallways and adjacent rooms can be audible. Some rooms have spotlights that shine through windows; blackout curtains may not fully block them. Air conditioning can be inconsistent. Housekeeping is provided every other day; same-day service is available upon request. Cleanliness levels vary; recent inspections have found occasional issues with hair and dirt in some rooms. Suites offer generous space with a separate seating area and a built-in shelf for luggage. Recently renovated lobby and select rooms provide a refreshed feel.

The breakfast area is spacious but can become crowded. The single breakfast attendant may struggle to keep items fully stocked during peak hours; shortages of eggs, bacon, and coffee have occurred. The menu includes pancake batter, oatmeal toppings, and a waffle maker. No restaurant or bar is on site, but many dining options - from fast food to sit-down restaurants - are within a short walk or drive. The hotel also has a vending machine for drinks and a small minimarket for snacks.

The pool and hot tub are generally clean and well-maintained. The spa and wellness centre includes a hot tub and spa jets, though some jets may not be operational. The fitness centre is small but adequate for a workout. Outdoor seating is available in a patio area. A minimarket on site offers snacks and essentials. These facilities are included in the room rate; no extra fee for the spa.
