Welcome to the Captain Merry

"The Captain Merry was a truly memorable experience. It was the ultimate combination of an historic property, elegant and refined renovation, and world class service. I will never forget my stay at the Captain Merry or the service excellence of their staff."  Joseph Michelli, Ph.D., author of the "The Starbucks Experience"

The Captain Merry Inn, Salon & Spa in East Dubuque, Illinois have struck the perfect balance between urban luxuries nestled with old-world charm. Owners Bob Johnson and Bethany Golombeski call it “approachable elegance”, and guests who’ve  experienced its hedonistic delights agree.
