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.

What's not to like? This property beats the crap out of any chain hotel. Just a delightful place: the manager who greeted us was great, the continental breakfast was great, the building itself is charming and amazing and I hope I can keep coming back here whenever I come to Galena.

Rooms were gorgeous! Easy walk to Main Street. Nate (the owner) was very accessible. Lots of nice little touches around the room. Fresh towels were brought without asking and left in a darling basket outside of our room. Breakfast was decent with local sold items. Cute outdoor area to sit and unwind.

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.

Nice place! Close to shopping and dining. Need blackout curtains in room. Also a mini fridge would be nice in room. They do have a common area with a fridge and microwave and stove which is nice. Would definitely stay here again
