The location of this hotel is great. I come into Dubuque every now and then for work and everytime I stay at the Hampton Inn. It's right across from the mall, Target, Best Buy and Hy-Vee. If I wanna go down town it's only a 5 min. drive. Rooms are very clean and the staff is great. They told me it's been open for a little more then a year but it looks new.
