The property is older but that fits the Galena vibe. It's clean, staff is very nice and accomodating, and overall it's quiet and relaxing.

There were two things only that I didn’t like. There are no elevators and I had to drag my suitcase up steps to my room. Also, the toilet was dinky. My knees were higher than my waist when I was on it. Kinda rough on a 75 year old. The rest of the stay was wonderful!

Fun for the whole family. Was staying at this hotel for a wedding. Views were excellent. The only issue with this hotel would be the lack of an elevator. If you don't book a ground floor room, be prepared to walk some stairs. Still worth it.

We liked being so close to the bike park and being able to take advantage of the many other activities available on site. The Segway tour was a big hit with my wife and oldest son.

Only thing that would take from good to excellent would be to add some hooks in bathroom and maybe a small shelf above the toilet for personal essentials.
