Property is very nice - such an Ireland vibe- decor was lovely- staff friendly. Make sure you bring your own cell charger as there isn’t a place to plug in - in your hotel room. Breakfast left more to be desired ; 7:30 - 9:30am. Went at 9:00am - very little fried potatoes left substitute was French fries - no bacon left and Irish sausage was undercooked actually raw in the middle. So, skip the breakfast! Beds very comfortable and little hall noise was heard. I’d stay again and bring my own charger!

Our stay at the Irish cottage Inn and Suites was great. Went on an impromptu trip to Galena and we are so happy we stayed at the Irish Cottage. The place is very cute from the entrance and the overall feel. They offer free coffee and tea, and a shuttle service to downtown Galena. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The best part is that it has an Irish pub right next to it. The food and live music were really good. They also offer free breakfast which has a good selection of eggs, fruit, potatoes, etc. I would go back!
