Great place to stay

Room was very comfortable and very roomy. Everything was very clean and in great condition. Breakfast buffet was very good and there were great choices and MUCH better than breakfasts that I’ve had at chain hotels. Very nice hotel and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Always Enjoy the Irish Cottage

We always enjoy our time at this relaxing hotel in Galena. It has rooms to play cards, read or just relax and the deck is great to enjoy the nature in back of the hotel. Add to that a walking path behind the hotel and you have a great setting for a getaway.

Was hoping for a traditional Irish breakfast since it’s an All Irish themed hotel. That was disappointing and the breakfast offered was not very good either unfortunately but it’s still a great place and very convenient for Galena. Would definitely stay again
