The Solon Langworthy House

This bed and breakfast was a great fit for what we wanted out of our stay. It was private and quite and much better than staying in a traditional hotel. The breakfast food was provided but it was a make your own rather than sit down with other guests and made for you...which was perfectly fine for us. I would recommend this place to our friends.

This is what I would call a self serve B&B and breakfast is limited, however, room and kitchen were very clean. Room was comfortable, and whirlpool bathtub was fabulous.

This was a really nice room. Not your typical B & B, but still very nice. Every other B & B I have stayed in, breakfast was fixed & served at a table with the other guests. This B & B, you made your own food. This was fine. I was just surprised.

Very relaxing and cozy room. Kitchen could have been a little cleaner. But overall a very enjoyable experience.

Staying in the Langworthy House was an absolute privelge, it's history and embrace so present. The hosts were available but not imposing. The breakfast offered was excellent. I would like to suggest adding more storage for clothing and more surface to place your items both in the bedroom and bath area. Dubuque offers culture, entertainment, friendly people, wonderful antique and what-not shopping and great resturaunt options. I will return and stay at the Langworthy House.

Nice neighborhood with older well kept spacious homes. Street parking. The porch boards and steps were very worn. The bedroom & bath of the 'deluxe suite' were clean and quite spacious. The refinished walls were in excellent condition and the paint colors were lovely. The bed was very comfortable. Nice classical music cd was playing for our arrival. No closet (4 pegs) and no luggage rack meant we had our suitcases spread out over the floor. The toilet had no knee room and would be uncomfortable for a long legged person. A collection of DVDs was available, as were several books. The kitchenette was nicely set up with two tables with two place settings each. Fresh fruit, juice, yogurt, sodas, waffle makings, etc for breakfast. Never saw the hosts, which was OK, however our biggest gripe was that there was no lounge, salon, or living room where we could go to relax. Our bedroom had two chairs - one rattan with a cushion and the other was a dining chair. The upstairs suite which was not occupied at the time of our visit, had it's own salon with a sofabed, which could be a second bedroom. Or a nice relaxing lounge. Perhaps we are spoiled by Napa Valley B&Bs.

Everything was lovely. The owners were a little aloof and could have offered us out-of-towners a little more advice about the local attractions. Also they said they would put breakfast out in the morning but apparently 7:30 was too early on a Sunday morning. We ended up leaving the place without our breakfast because we had to be somewhere early that morning.

Nice neighborhood and privacy respected. Good accomodations! and just like home only better!

I would rate this b&b very poorly and do not think it’s worth staying for the money they are charging. The location isn’t that great and you have to drive as this is in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The guestroom we stayed in was on the second floor and it was very dark and depressing looking. The place is not sanitary in my opinion as we saw bugs in the bathroom as well as dead one near the living rm. Window. The kitchen looks something like a college setup and very mediocre to any b&b standard. Very abstract collection of dishes which makes you think whatever they found at a local garage sale is what they use. And you have to serve your own self and they don’t come around to even wash the dishes (the food we ate, the dirty dishes were still in the kitchen after we returned late on the same day). To sum it up very bad service, unsanitary, horrible design choices so save your hard earned money and stay somewhere else.

My wife and I stayed here during one of my business trips. We were very disappointed with this establishment. First of all, we looked up their website and there are several misrepresentations on it. Do not go by what you read on their website. The owner was nice enough but he was not even close to being prepared for us, so he "hung" around for way too long and made us feel somewhat weird. The man was making repairs during our stay. The house was very old and not very comfortable at all. The amenities were sparse and also disappointing. No cable, and they offered a movie DVD library that was obviously his children's collection. The breakfast was not very good or plentyful. Just an overall bad experience. We will never stay here again or recommend this place. Many other complaints that could fill up a few pages!!
