This was our 2nd stay with this property, we've loved it each time! The owners are wonderful and personable, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and we love that it's a short walking distance to the main street shopping and dining area.
After booking my nonrefundable room, I got a text that the hotel has no elevator and that our bathroom is across the hall from our room. The owner was smug and seemed very happy to not have to help us up the stairs to the third floor when I told him we could carry our own luggage.
Some may appreciate the âquaint charmâ of an older building like this, but my mom and I found it to be very rundown, uncomfortable, and inconvenient. We had assumed that the bathroom was across a private hall, but it was a shared hallway with two other rooms. The bed was small and barely fit in the room. We sat on it and quickly said that we would both have rolled right out of it if we stayed there. Nate also told us that if we wanted to change the temperature in the room (and the whole floor), we would have to text him so he could change it from his phone. Additionally, the hotel is described as being âdowntown Galenaâ but it is a 15-minute walk to downtown.
My mom and I quickly left and booked a room at the Wyndham five minutes away for 2/3 the cost of the Hotel Galena. The staff at the Wyndham were all friendly and professional and the hotel was beautiful and clean with a bar, spa, gaming room, and pool.
I would not recommend Hotel Galena to anyone. I have to believe that the many 4-5 star reviews were written by Nate or his friends. Here is a picture of my 70 year-old mom leaving the hotel 10 minutes after we checked in. Iâve never seen her move so fast as she did running out of there.
This boutiquey hotel was the perfect place for our first time in Galena. A short walking distance from Main St., its traditional/modern aesthetic was very welcoming. Itâs very clean and the staff and owners are so friendly.
Staying at Hotel Galena was delightful. The rooms have retained the charm of an historic building with all the modern comfort and conveniences you may desire. And the bed was SO comfy. The owner and staff are very friendly, courteous, and make you feel like a welcomed guest. The property is convenient to the Main St. area where all the action is in town. I would choose this property any time visiting Galena. A real gem!
Nate and Denise are fabulous Host .. we didnât have to ask for anything it was all provided. The walk to town took less then 5 minutes so itâs the perfect place to stay in Galena.. Beautiful and Charming
Our room was beautiful! It was clean and fresh. Everything was so close to downtown. The owner and workers were so friendly and accommodating. It felt like we had our own little apartment. We actually stayed in for a few hours and just watched some tv. It was that cozy and we could just relax for a bit.
Very unique property, well maintained and clean. Nate (the owner) was very helpful - everything from keeping us up to date about check in via text and even carrying our bags to our room!!
