Mini vacation stay at Irish Cottage, Galena IL

Great clean unique hotel. Loved all the Irish culture and ambiance. The attached bar, Frank O’Dowds, is a wonderful unique Irish pub. We saw a great band on Friday & Saturday nights. The pub is the same place you go for their continental breakfast; don’t wait too long to eat because breakfast favorites will run out fast. The room are very comfortable and clean. The bathroom toilets could be upgraded to a higher, handicap accessible height. Overall great stay, great staff and servers. Will definitely go back.

The Inn is just getting very run down. The Irish Pub/Restaurant is showing its age. We paid a lot for a sub par hotel.
