Enjoyed historic charm and detail to period furnishings. Great to share history of the house and Dubuque with Simon and other guests. Many thanks.

I felt as though we were sleeping inside a museum filled with fine antiques. It was quite beautiful. Parking on the street was awkward to haul luggage up the steps. Inkeeper was sometimes hard to reach. Coffee and a few other items were gratis in the kitchen. Sure missed breakfast no longer being included.

The host, and our greeting, felt rushed and as though we were inconveniencing him. The home is beautiful although it smelled musty and the bed was uncomfortable. It offers a beautiful view of Dubuque.

Great beautiful historic home
I love the beautiful historic houses and the character they have. The bed was super comfortable, and I slept 10 hrs straight. Only negative was the parking on the hillside due to the location of the house. Excellent overall!!

Loved it!
We had a great stay at the Hancock House. The room was great, the view of Dubuque was fantastic, and our hsot Simon was very friendly. My wife enjoyed the breakfast (I preferred to sleep in) and loved hearing about the history of the area. Overall, a great choice!

Great views in a historic house
Wonderful views of the city and river from the Doll Room. Very comfortable room full of old school charm. Breakfast was also excellent and Simon's history of Dubuque was an added bonus.

Good experience
The room we rented was comfortable. The place was clean. The host was friendly. The place needs a little upkeep on small items, nothing major. A couple of cracks on the walls and possibly a sagging on the bathroom floor which was likely causing the shower door to not stay closed and some water to stagnate on the wrong side(the shower itself was otherwise clean, modern and neat). But given the age of the house it was good.
The experince was good overall.
Parking was a little confusing, especially since on-street parking looked full when we arrived. Some additional instruction on parking would've helped.
Host was helpful and with the local area.
