Great place! Super friendly, clean and updated property. Loved the design inside and out, and the attached pub-almost nightly entertainment that really gave it personality and something different than any other hotels that I’ve stayed at- I think, ever!

Ice Storm

The hotel and restaurant were very nice, but we showed up during an ice storm and they did not have any salt on the sidewalks for parking lot. Their lot is on an incline, so it was very dangerous for my parents and myself to walk.

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!
