Great Galena Getaway
We came into Galena for a get-away from the city and wanted to stay somewhere close to the main thoroughfare. Hotel Galena did not disappoint. The building and the grounds are charming, Denise and Nate were so so nice and helpful.
We stayed in #7 (one of the suites) and the jetted bathtub was divine; soothing and against the brick of the 1856 building and stained glass window…it was the best of the past and present.
Overall, worth the price and such a charming way to relax in a charming town.

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. It’s very clean and the staff and owners are so friendly.

There were narrow stairs with no lights when I checked in, and the room seems dated and the walls were paper thin. I heard everything in the room next door - including when they got up to watch TV and talk at 2am.

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!

Weekend Getaway
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.
