We really enjoyed our stay at the Irish Cottage Inn. Check in was a breeze, and the facility itself very cute to explore. Their afternoon tea offering was a nice addition to their outstanding breakfast. We had dinner at Frank O'Dowd's and enjoyed the décor and live music. The dinner and drinks were great, and it was nice to walk back to our room after a fun day in Galena. My only complaint is that the bed could use a mattress pad as they were not the best. However, the room was quiet, with very clean and new bathroom. A very short drive to downtown Galena. We will certainly consider a repeat stay!

DEFINITELY A PLACE IN MY HEART

It was a such wonderful place & our visit was much too short. However we will definitely return there. This was a anniversary getaway for us. Many things in town are closed in town on Mondays but we always made it work regardless. The Irish Cottage staff were absolutely great & willing to help in any way. Plus they serve a nice hot breakfast that is included in room. We loved the all the Irish decor down to the imitation coal burning fireplaces (one of my favorite things) & the restaurant is so cozy. We were quite impressed with their outststanding library & collections. We left with great memories of this charming place.

Quaint and pretty building. Very old looking but rooms are nicely equipped with USB ports, bathroom is remodeled adequately. Feels like you are in an old European hotel. Amenities are ok. Breakfast is ok. Service was ok. Shuttle is available and other than a potential 15 minute or so wait, very convenient. The attached pub does have amazing food at dinner. Best Reuben I’ve had in many many years. Live music was ok. Overall good hotel but nothing outstanding.

Very calm and relaxed atmosphere. Aside from the typical morning rumblings of other guests, it was a quiet stay. I would have appreciated hoter water for my shower, though.

Food, fun and rest all in one stop!

Girls trip! 4 of us came from out of state to visit Galena. How delightful that we could arrive to a very clean and friendly Irish Cottage Inn & Suites in the mid-evening, put our bags in our room and walk to the adjoining restaurant, Frank Odowd's for dinner. The food was incredible, the service delightful, the drinks fun and delicious, and the live music made for a great way to end our evening! Then, we walked back to our room that was impeccably clean, the beds and pillows were comfy and the room temperature easy to control. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would encourage others to stay here and do the same. You won't regret it!

You May Get A Surprise

Room was very clean. Would have liked elevated toilet. First encounter with front desk was so-so. Later staff much more engaging and helpful. Breakfast was very good but no milk or orange juice. Not happy to be told the night before checkout that there was a $10 per person daily amenities fee for things like breakfast, shuttle (not used) afternoon tea and 24 hour coffee bar as well as another additional $50 fee for things that might have been charged to your room (didn't do this). The website says breakfast included but nothing about having to pay for it. I was never told about these additional fees during check-in and only asked when I saw a paper on the front desk and asked about it. Just letting folks know that when they think they have fully paid for their stay, it isn't so.

Pros: Offer complimentary shuttle and breakfast, front desk staff was nice. Convenient to have the pub, live music and restaurant on site. Opportunities: The king bed was VERY uncomfortable (needs new mattress for sure), the lighting is awful (super bright lights like a surgical area everywhere), the walls were so thin that it was super loud when people were having fun or closing doors.
