The staff was really nice. This is our first stay at one of your properties. The only problem was the television was too low. We couldn't watch tv in the bedroom without sitting up. We will stay again

I traveled to Dubuque to have a girls weekend with my friends from college from the area. We had an absolute wonderful stay at the MainStay. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly in giving us directions and ideas for dinner. We loved the nice kitchen area and room to hang out and have a few drinks while getting caught up.... More

It was great having 2 flat screen TVs to enjoy, in both the living area and the sleeping area and a kitchen to cook our own food if we chose to. The staff was very friendly and helpful and worked hard... More

Thanks for the review, Mike. We hold our cleaning services to a high standard here, and anything below that standard and the standard of our fine guests is unacceptable. We had an internal meeting with our staff here about that standard, and we hope to fulfill it. Just a reminder to future guests -- if the cleanliness of your room... More
