Pretty Good Getaway

We had a pretty goo over night getaway. The room is very comfortable, clean & nicely decorated. But it is the staff who made it special- Ashley by the front desk was welcoming & patient to answering all our questions. The breakfast was fresh & good. Will go back the next time we are in Galena.

The hotel itself is very clean and comfortable. The food was below average. My wife couldn't eat the chicken on the salad,it was rubbery. No bacon or sausage with breakfast 1st day. Second day there was sausage but they were off. Beautiful hotel just a pity about sub standard food

Loved the atmosphere over all decor and staff in hotel the bar on the other hand had worn out wood and flat pop, food was good. Also, not a fan off the whole wedding party had to pass by the glass door viewing the pool area as if you wore the attraction. I would come back overall.

Out favorite hotel in Galena!

We stayed here for New Years Eve and enjoyed the celebration in the pub. The hotel is clean and updated with great Irish character in the lobby and pub. The Irish breakfast is amazing! There’s a free shuttle to Galena also. We love staying here!

Property was well maintained if a bit dated . The staff were courteous and professional especially the bar/restaurant staff. Found the bar/restaurant prices quite high . $10 a pint of Guinness ! In Galena! Food was excellent although downtown Chicago prices for food and drink were a bit surprising .
