We have visited the area for years and finally decided to stay here. It was a good choice. We also liked being close to the pub for the Irish holiday.

We had an enjoyable time. The hotel was great! I would suggest to up date the pillows and mattresses. Our mattress was flat and hard and the pillows were flat.

Great Hotel!

This is a great place to stay while in Galena. Rooms are modern and the restaurant serves great food and drink. Cooked to order breakfast in the morning the server was very friendly. My only negative is the shuttle driver. He barked orders at us when we entered regarding being picked up. Said if we were non-compliant he leave us. We walked back rather than listen to him a second time. Walk to town would be my advice.

Gorgeous hotel! We stayed for our anniversary. We had a wonderful stay. The restaurant attached has great food and drinks. Live music at night was fantastic! My only complaint is we paid for a suite with a jaccuzi but the jacuzzi didn't work.

Great resort

We stayed for a mini honeymoon. We loved the overall resort. It was beautiful and welcoming. The food was excellent at the attached restaurant and breakfast was included each day. The pool and hot tub was clean every day. The only downside was that the mattress was not very comfortable.

Nice hotel- breakfast was ok nothing special- coffee and juice very water down. Had a restaurant and bar on premise with plenty of parking. Location was not the best for us as you could not walk into the downtown area. We drove did not use van service but they did have it which would be helpful. Resort fee really not necessary for us never used the pool or hot tub.
