Suite 204 is a European botanical themed room on the 2nd floor. It has a king bed and a beautiful balcony!
The space
The J. G. Schmohl building was built around 1850. From 1895 to 1932, Mr. Schmohl ran the Grant Hotel in this building.

Having a special family/friend gathering? You can rent the entire 7 suites that will accommodate 21 people. Ulysses Suites main entrance is at 214 S.

Beautiful Room and Great Location!
The room is beautifully set up and decorated. The balcony is perfect for coffee and quiet time. You can access the main road from a staircase in the “back” of the building and Bench St. from the “front”. Staff is onsite and very prompt in response. Overall a perfect stay.

Unbelievable Experience!
This was by far my favorite VRBO experience ever! The building itself was spotless, beautiful and perfectly located. The suite my friend and I stayed in for our quick girls getaway weekend was clean and extremely well kept. We were greeted with a small gift in the room. The smell even when walking into the building was amazing! Everything was branded (which was a nice touch!) and everything we needed was in the room and thoughtfully placed. I am someone who is extremely particular and detail oriented and I was absolutely blown away by how lovely this suite was! We will most definitely return. I don't think I could stay anywhere else in Galena!!

Great location, super clean and comfy
We had a wonderful weekend getaway.Our suite was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located in the middle of everything Galena has to offer. Loved the attention to details, like access to filtered water, Bluetooth speaker, upgraded soaps and shampoos. Our host was proactive and responsive. Highly recommend!
