Novelty Iron Works 333 East 10th Street, Dubuque, IA 52001

"Great place to take nice pictures!"

"I really like this place. Not only is this an apartment complex, but it has restaurant bars, a ballroom you could rent out for venues, and a comedy club. Wow!!! I think this is a safe, clean place to live. Parking is ok. They do offer pay to park parking and it's not that expensive at all. If you are looking for great entertainment and living area, this is a great spot here. It's surrounded by all types of fun things to do."

"We went to the bar had some good beverages and played some games"

"Do NOT…and I repeat…do NOT live here. This place is run by slumlords. If you are looking into renting from Novelty Iron Works, they will try to convince you that you better sign the lease now or somebody else will take the unit. Do not fall for this. Units are available all the time as tenants are constantly leaving due to the unresponsive management. The roof leaks, and they do nothing to address this problem. Do you have a disability? Good luck. They do not even have automatic front doors. I could go on, but they have already stolen enough of my sanity. Stay away!"

"The concept to these units is definitely nice & contemporary for the Dubuque area. However while staying here back in June for the American River Fest our unit over looked the other buildings in the area and unfortunately very close to the trains that pass through several times during the day & night. This typically wouldn’t be a problem however the trains are literally right outside of the building and there are currently no regulations on the whistle blowing that happens 24 seven. I would give this place a 4 star except for the fact the trains kept us up all night and for the duration of our stay. We found out after checking out while letting management know about our concerns. That on the east side of the river they actually stopped the trains from blowing their whistles. This also needs to be addressed for the side where these buildings are. Last thing is they do offer complimentary breakfast in the lobby area it’s not managed at all and basically anyone can walk in and grab breakfast. They constantly ran out of food didn’t get refilled until we notified management. The units themselves are decorated nice and very spacious."
