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.

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!!

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.

We found the Canfield Hotel clean and comfortable, and above all the professional yet friendly people working there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Old building renovated. Uses radiator heat. No available coffee in room. Room was very nice and clean. Very comfortable. Friendly staff. Nice restaurant across the street. Very reasonable. Would stay again.

Old school. Throwback to the days of Al Capone updated for Benny Goodman. Tiny bathroom but functional. Clean room, sparse, but adequate for a restful sleep.

First there is no way to lock the door from the inside, you can only lock it from the outside. In addition, we walked in and the gentleman at the front asked us if we are staying in our specific room number. We never met or talked to this guy, in addition he said when the bar was completely open to the hotel. As two females traveling alone this place did not feel safe. We needed up driving over three hours home and left right away.
