Everything about this place was great. From mad at the front desk to Brian the van shuttle driver told us all the cool places to go. Took us downtown for dinner on Saturday night and picked us up didn't have to worry about driving the property was great didn't have a chance to use the pool but restaurant bar next door was very fairly priced and we had a great time would definitely recommend

Room was clean , was told when checking in that our room wouldn’t be cleaned or tidied up at all unless we ask. But charged an amenity fee per night . Think that fee was to pay for the free breakfast they offered every morning ! They should mention when booking about the fee .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean. The floors were clean. The bathroom was clean. The refrigerator and the microwave came in handy. The only issues I had were the toilet was SO low to the ground. And there was an exhaust fan below my window, that ran a lot. But besides that, the location was perfect. The bartenders at the bar knew what they were doing when they made their Wisconsin old fashions. The breakfast was a typical hot breakfast with pancakes or waffles. And eggs? It was very convenient to be less than ten minutes from downtown and also easy access to the highway.

Mini vacation stay at Irish Cottage, Galena IL

Great clean unique hotel. Loved all the Irish culture and ambiance. The attached bar, Frank O’Dowds, is a wonderful unique Irish pub. We saw a great band on Friday & Saturday nights. The pub is the same place you go for their continental breakfast; don’t wait too long to eat because breakfast favorites will run out fast. The room are very comfortable and clean. The bathroom toilets could be upgraded to a higher, handicap accessible height. Overall great stay, great staff and servers. Will definitely go back.
