Nice room. The hotel has a nice 'Irish' bar with a restaurant. Had hot breakfast in the morning. Only complaint is the shower gel and the shampoo dispensers were empty after the first day.

The breakfast menu was fresh and staff all around to help with whatever you needed. Same with the rooms, we were there for an extended weekend, and everything was at our fingertips, if we needed something more, we just had to ask. Didn't need to leave the property for a good time, but just had to explore downtown Galena.

Hotel Bar/Restaurant was exceptional - food was delicious and entertainment was great! Free breakfast - on Sunday it was a FULL buffet and on Monday it was complimentary made to order breakfast! The hot tub ensuite was clean, relaxing and a definite plus to the room! My only negative would be the couch in the suite was terribly uncomfortable.
