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.

So beautiful - the house and the view! We did leave for dinner and a little drive around the city but then spent three hours on the front porch just reading and relaxing and enjoying the view!
Monica, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

This was the first bed and breakfast that my husband and I have ever stayed at. It was pleasantly delightful and we would definitely stay here again. The house was very well kept. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was friendly. Our host educated us about the house and the city of Dubuque which was interesting to hear.

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!
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hancock House is one of the best B&B's I've stayed at ever (business or pleasure trips). The room furnishings, a good firm mattress, fine shower AND superb brkf made this a memorable trip. Will plan on staying again next spring & will encourage my sisters to as well (our annual sibling get-together). Note: II grew up in Dbq so know the city well; a great location just above 'downtown' but placed aside a cliff and the old 11th St. cable car site.

Charming

What a charming discovery! A beautiful old home on the top of a hill with a gorgeous view of the city. Gorgeously decorated and appointed with attention to detail. We are enchanted!

It was my first time at a bed and breakfast. The property was pretty. The house was beautiful. Very very quiet. Staff was very nice and accommodating. My only complaint was the bed was very uncomfortable so I didn’t sleep well at all:/
Katie, 1-night trip

Charming B&B

Lots of character with a beautiful view over the city. Host is accommodating, breakfast delicious, beds and room comfortable and clean. A few updates on especially the exterior of the house would make it a fantastic experience (building noticeably deteriorating on the outside compared to homes surrounding it including banners). Otherwise a great choice for a unique experience!
Deborah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Lou Ann, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The property was excellent, Expedia screwed up the vacation by sending me a confirmed booking without telling the Hancock owner. As a result we weren’t able to stay there !
Jerry, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
