This place was very nice. Due to the time of year (December) and days I stayed (M-W), I may have been the only guest on the property at least one day. The staff were nice as well. The view from my room was amazing! Some snow came and it was even prettier. I can only imagine how summer views are. I didn't try the free breakfast, so I can't say how it was. My room was perfect and very clean. The fireplace was a bonus for me. Galena is hills and valleys, so if you visit in winter, be careful driving on those hills. Just saying... I've already recommended this inn to my sister and friends.
This time around was not as pleasant as year before
We had trouble with our tv, cable,
And last night our heater broke and room was at 64 degrees
There was lots of ladybug and other insects
Inside our room
Next time will request sunset view site not the back
It was very clean and peaceful with a wonderful view of the landscape. The real fireplace was a bonus. It was just an all around great stay in the cottage. Highly recommend especially if your looking for a romantic get away.
Came up for the weekend with my wife. To get the positive out of the way, the outside was very nice with a nice overlook of Galena.
Now for the bad. We stayed in the smaller rooms of the main building. First look over there was grime on the walls and bathroom door. As if they had never been cleaned. The bed felt as if all the middle springs were toast. When you laid down you pulled to the center as if there was a crater in the center of the bed. Next there were quite a few bugs that I had to take care of including spiders, mosquitos, and moths.
I did let the front desk know about the grime when we went to grab breakfast from the office (mediocre by the way, I just grabbed coffee) and they did clean the walls, but the bathroom door was still disgusting.
Now the big issue came the next night, note the bugs. I noticed something crawling by the bed and killed it. Upon inspection it was a Roach and that I'm not cool with in the least bit. When there is one, there is more, so we packed carefully after inspecting all of our belongings as to not bring one home, and hauled out of there.
On the way out I gave the office emergency phone number a call as they are gone by 9 pm. I spoke to the least concerned woman when I told her about the roach. She wanted me to believe that it was not a roach and that it was a stink (A very different bug). With such arrogance as if she was in the room and saw the whole thing. Won't refund.
Summary: Roaches, Terrible Service, Dirty Room, and Broken Bed.
We had a very pleasant stay. The property is beautiful and the cottage was very clean. The gentleman at the reception desk was so nice and friendly. We plan on staying there again!!
