Only had coffee and water. We use Best Western all the time!! This Hotel needs a fresh make over rooms smell musty. We came to Galena for the first time, being the town that it is for Christmas and how many people visit your corporate office need to get this place festive and redone if you need help give me a call!! Not the warm feeling I expected with the other Best Western we have stayed!
