This an older BW with an odd layout but it is surprisingly well run and comfortable. The room was clean and pretty spacious. Miriam at the front desk was friendly and very helpful in discussing dinner options. All in all a very nice stay for a good price.

The hotel needs repairs in a lot of spots. My room was extremely overpriced and it was a piece of junk that was outdated in the 80s very disappointed for what I paid.

The staff is always friendly and helpful. The breakfast is fantastic. Our room, a suite with an "extra bedroom" was spacious and comfortable. The location of the hotel is easy to get anywhere you want to visit in Galena, and literally a walk across the parking lot to Happy Joe's or Frank O'Dowds Pub

The staff was great but we had the jetted tub room which was nice but our neighbors had one too but when they kept turning on the water then it sounded like water pipes bursting and they kept running it from 9 pm until 3 in the morning and we got no sleep and I definitely will not recommend those rooms! I wish the hotel could have helped to make things more quiet but they wanted us to move but we were there first so just wasn’t an option and it was our Anniversary so just a bit upset but not sure what you can do to make it right? Thank you. Michele Duke
