Wonderfully comfortable, clean, and well equipped. I slept better here than I have in just about any other accommodations. Evening/morning street noise dropped to pretty much nothing at night, and we loved being able to walk downtown. The very clean and well-equipped shared kitchen was a bonus we hadn't expected.

It’s an older place but it’s been remodeled, and is in good shape. We got a room that had a nice hot tub in it. The area was quiet, everything was clean. No complaints. We’d stay there again, if we were in the area.

You can't beat this location if you want to wander around Galena and the riverfront! Everything felt clean, safe and we had everything we needed, if in a bit of strange and old-world set up! This is an old building with lots of "charm", but as long as you are prepared for that you'll have a lovely stay.

The hotel was very nice and the communication from them leading up to the stay was excellent. I didn't like the fact that we couldn't control the room temperature ourselves, we had to text the owner to raise or lower the heat, and it was cold for awhile in the room when we arrived. Also, the location is not as close to the main street as described in the overview -- more than a block to the main street where shop and restaurants are. Also, street noise during the night was loud, as it is on the main drag through town.
