Dubuque was never a destination for us so we were undecided as to where to stay when we pulled into town on a road trip. It was a security guard at the nearby casino who said that signing up for a player's card at the casino would get us a room at the Grand Harbor Resort for $59. ($66 with... More

I enjoyed our visit. The water park was a good size to keep my 10 year old and her friend busy for several hours. I thought the pools and the slides were watched over by attentive lifeguards. Housekeeping and front desk staff were especially helpful when we were looking for the Ipod my daughter misplaced. We found it! The restaurant... More

Great location (near the river museum and a yummy restaurant called Crust) but overall disappointed...by everything. We had to switch rooms because our first room was filthy...stained mattresses, food splattered on the wall, stains on the chair, etc. The second room they put us in was much better but they did not offer any discount for the gross conditions of...

Not a bad hotel in general. Called last minute to get a room for the night. $129 for a pretty spacious suite.very clean from what I saw. Only annoying thing was having to get buzzed in the front door after a certain hour of the night (I guess if that's the worst thing, its a pretty good hotel) . Would... More

We usually hit this hotel/waterpark once or twice each winter for the last ten years with our three children. We usually have a pretty good stay and the kids have a blast in the waterpark. Rooms are average and cleanliness is average. What we have found is to book on weekdays to avoid the waterpark crowds. I recently called the... More

We stayed at Grand Harbor for one night for spring break. There are 6 of us so I booked adjoining rooms which I had asked for and they were accomodating. Hotel rooms and bathroom were your typical average room, however no complaints on cleaniness. Check in was smooth. Waterpark was on the smaller end but we are used to the... More

The rooms were nothing to write home about but they were clean which for us is most important. Everything was in working order and put other indoor waterparks weve been to in Iowa to shame. Over all this was a great stay! Thank you.

Our room (613) overlooked the Mississippi River and was stunning. Traveling with a large group, other rooms overlooked the parking lot, including the suite (622) rented with the purpose of family home base. Kids swam, parents gambled, everybody went to aquarium and museum across the parking lot and walked the riverfront and overate. Town is an easy walk uphill, where... More

This we go here about once a year during the winter. PROS: Its not to far from home (2 hr), and we have a lot of fun here with our kids. Last time we went here was over New Years Eve. Two other couples and their kids went with us. We had lots of fun at the waterpark with all... More
