The location was very quiet and felt safe yet close to all attractions. We especially enjoyed the restaurant and bar which were located on the property and the friendliness of the staff. The room was very well appointed and comfortable. We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Galena and the surrounding area.

Would like to have stayed longer to enjoy the grounds, the spa, the library, live entertainment in the restaurant. An overnight just wasn’t long enough.

What a cute, quaint place! We only stayed for one night, but the Inn is a wonderful place to stay. The free shuttle to downtown Galena is a great amenity. Teatime is a nice touch, and the breakfast is very good! I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Very nice hotel. Great staff. Breakfast was very good. Pool and spa was relaxing and clean. The only glitch was that the hot tub in our room didn't work but the rest of the room was nice. Furniture was a bit hard. Bed was perfect.

It is a beautiful cottage inn and walking distance to some of Galena’s attractions. Excellent breakfast buffet. The Irish Pub food was very good and I had the best Scotch Egg ever.
