This is a great property. Although this stay was only for one night to celebrate our sons birthday, it offered a great location to access amenities that we love in Galena, while also offering wonderful on site activities for us to fill up our day of celebrating with. Staff was friendly, food was good, room was clean, and beds were comfy. 10/10.

Really beautiful views and fun activities for families. Zip line, alpine slide and bike trails look like fun. Charming old fashioned decor. Our room has issues with toilet and air conditioning making floor soaking wet.

Place is definitely very very outdated when you walk in you get an old people home mixed w humidity smell. Hotel is very very outdated. The pull out bed mattress had holes and springs sticking out could not use it. I would not recommend.

Room was clean. Beds comfy. Pool and hot tub were nice! Restaurant food was okay. A little pricey but you do get good portions and it is convenient. We did the alpine slide that was fun!! Mini golf was good too. Beautiful views of the river. Charming place. Has a small arcade in the basement. Only drawback if you stay on upper floors is that there is no elevator.

They have a lot of summer activities on the property which make for a great getaway. Close to Galena as well for shopping, history, and restaurants. The only two issues with the property are that it is a little old and has some wear in areas, but really not a big deal. The major issue my wife and I had were the comfort of the beds and pillows though, we just couldn't really get a good nights sleep. We won't be returning because of that, but I think it's kind of a subjective thing and others may not have that experience.
