"We stayed here to be close to the river as we planned to ride up and down the Mississippi and enjoy its mighty beauty. We loved that the unit had an attached bathroom on all four bedrooms. Everyone in our group appreciated the privacy. It is located in a cozy wooded area surrounded by other nice houses and golf courses. It was very private, and the houses had adequate space between them. The host checked on us often to make sure our stay was great. Checkout was easy, which we...

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1099)
"This is a charmingly rustic hotel that makes you feel that you're on a weekend in the country rather than right next to a busy strip center. The pool is very nice and the breakfast better than most such buffets. It may not be an historic Galena Inn, but it's a very pleasant and convenient stay with some fun amenities. "

"This place was very nice. Due to the time of year (December) and days I stayed (M-W), I may have been the only guest on the property at least one day. The staff were nice as well. The view from my room was amazing! Some snow came and it was even prettier. I can only imagine how summer views are. I didn't try the free breakfast, so I can't say how it was. My room was perfect and very clean. The fireplace was a bonus for me. Galena is hills and valleys, so if you visit in winter, be careful...
