Check in was easy. Staff very helpful. Very old building with alot of charm. Can walk entire downtown area. No frills. Bar/lounge felt like a Frank Sinatra hangout. Fun karaoke.

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.

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.

We absolutely loved it! Yes, it's a bit older but the room decor was whimsical and fun. The room was clean, staff was excellent and polite every time we needed extra towels and bed sheets. Will definitely book again!!

Would stay again

We went here partially for the old-school feel, and it did not disappoint! Everything was fine, and about as expected for the price. Would stay here again.

Worked for us

Check-in was easy and quick. Our room was simple, yet clean and sufficient for the very affordable rate. We enjoyed the karoake at the large bar on Saturday night. Good location within walking distance of entertainment, food, etc.

This is hotel was exactly what I needed for the night! It was just a simple room at a fair price. But I loved the hotel’s early 1900’s Dubuque decor and it’s in an area surrounded by architectural gems. Next time I’m in the area, this will be where I stay but I’ll plan more time to patronize the attached karaoke bar and surrounding shops.

I thought this would be a cool old building with a view. Instead it was a dirty old building with lots of P U. It’s got loads of potential but you can’t sleep on dirty potential. Some clean up and remodeling would go a long way.

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.
