About

The Waterpark at Grand Harbor Resort, located at 350 Bell St, Dubuque, IA, is an indoor waterpark offering a variety of attractions for families. It features multiple water slides, a lazy river, activity pools, and a hot tub, providing year-round entertainment regardless of the weather outside.

The water in the main pools and attractions at the waterpark is generally maintained at a comfortable 84 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius). The hot tub typically features a higher, relaxing temperature.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews present a mixed but generally negative experience. While some guests praised helpful and professional staff, particularly night staff and those interacting with children, and appreciated the good location with a river view, significant issues were reported. Common complaints include the urgent need for renovation in both the rooms and the water park, citing holes in carpets, peeling wallpaper, and an outdated feel. Guests also experienced uncomfortable beds, poor pillows, and a cold, horrible breakfast for which staff were reportedly rude when approached. Staff experiences were inconsistent, with day staff described as very rude and even yelling at customers. The water park, despite being enjoyed by children, was noted for incorrect opening times, overcrowding, and the presence of adults bringing alcohol. Overall, despite some positive staff interactions and location, the recurring problems led to a largely negative recommendation.

Staff was helpful and professional. The stay was fine. Location was good with a river view. The room and water park are in need of renovation though. Holes in the carpet and floor, peeling wallpaper, and major need of update and a coat of paint. The water park was a similar situation but the kids had fun.

Stayed at the Grand Harbor Hotel. I called and verified the water park times and was told they upended at 9 am. We checked in and were told the same thing. Sadly, we were told incorrectly. They didn't open until 4. The Waterpark was packed, with adults bringing coolers of alcohol. The hotel staff at night was great!, however, the day staff was VERY RUDE!, There was one lady who yelled at customers, including myself!! (About the Waterpark). The beds were uncomfortable, the pillows were worthless!, Breakfast was horrible the first day (Thursday) it was cold and when I tried to mention it to the staff, they were just as cold and rude! I do NOT recommend this hotel!
