The check-in manager was helpful, kind, and considerate and addressed a small issue in the room immediately--much appreciated. The room and bathroom was in good shape and the balcony with chairs facing the woods was a great feature to the property. The pool could have been a little warmer, but not bad considering it was connected to the outdoor pool while being freezing outside- would be a very cool feature in warmer weather! The indoor hot tub was just what we needed. Breakfast was not good. Waffles and eggs were ok but other breads/pastries were stale, fruit was bruised and in bad shape, and didn't even touch the ham- did not look appetizing at all. Overall, very doable for what we needed-thank you.

Room wasn’t ready or clean at 3pm. Cold water didn’t work on the hot tub to cool it down. Ice machine at the hotel didn’t work. The employee at the check in did great to help. No knock on him. He did the best he could with what he was given.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this location and would not recommend it. The room and facilities were outdated and poorly maintained. There were no updated outlets or usable plugs—the outlets were so loose that it was difficult to plug anything in or keep chargers connected. During our stay, I was bitten by bed bugs. I have included photos showing the bites that appeared afterward. This is completely unacceptable and raises serious cleanliness and health concerns. The sauna was not functional—it was cold, and there was no visible temperature control or indication that it was working at all. Additionally, there was visible mold on the divider between the indoor and outdoor pool areas, which is especially concerning in a humid environment where cleanliness should be a top priority. To make matters worse, the staff experience was unpleasant. The woman working during breakfast was rude and refused to allow us, as paying guests, to change the TV channel. This interaction felt unnecessary and unprofessional. The only positive part of this stay was the woman who checked us in — she was kind, helpful, and professional. Unfortunately, that was the only bright spot. Between the bed bug bites, mold, non-functioning amenities, outdated electrical outlets, and poor customer service, this stay was not worth the cost. I strongly suggest management address these issues immediately for the safety and comfort of future guests.

The room was absolutely disgusting with stains on the sheets and the smoke detector hanging from wires door trim falling off and smelled absolutely disgusting. Clearly the first floor flooded and they never dealt with it correctly.

Only had coffee and water. We use Best Western all the time!! This Hotel needs a fresh make over rooms smell musty. We came to Galena for the first time, being the town that it is for Christmas and how many people visit your corporate office need to get this place festive and redone if you need help give me a call!! Not the warm feeling I expected with the other Best Western we have stayed!
