Updated hotel near everything. Front desk staff very professional. Clean room. Parking is a little confusing. It’s free. There are 3 levels, so drive around the hotels block if you cannot find parking on the level you are on. Each level’s entrance is different, but the elevator is available on each level.

Nice clean hotel

This was a last minute spontaneous trip to Galena. Dubuque was only 10 minutes up the road and offered more in the way of hotels and dining locally. We weren't interested in staying in a B&B and this hotel had great reviews.

Good location. Huge lobby. Room was small. Our view was of the roof and air conditioning units. Refrigerator was very loud. The temperature in the room went from hot to cold everytime the air conditioning was running and then stopped. It didn't seem to regulate the temperature evenly enough to be comfortable. Couldn't exit the building using the stairs unless there was an emergency. So had to use the elevator to get to the second floor.

We had a room on the 3rd floor directly next to the elevator. We booked a Kin Accessible and instead received a double bed room with a very small window. A dirty room both in the room and in the bathroom. The shower curtain was missing (only the exterior shower curtain was present) and the room on the 3rd floor next to the elevator was the loud because you can hear the elevator running (it makes a loud bussing sound) all night.
