Totally enjoyed our getaway to Galena and found this to be the perfect place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! The Irish Pub was festive and everyone was great. It was within a convenient distance to get downtown to experience as much as we could there too. On top of that, the bed was amazing and we had the best sleep ever. We’ve already decided we will stay here again sometime.

Cottage Inn & Suites

Very nice place, clean rooms, Breakfast was great with plenty of options the two mornings we were there. Staff was very helpful. Downtown Galena is only minutes away. Beware - it's like Las Vegas there's a Resort Fee per Day :( - Also 2Q rooms don't have a private bathroom. Sink is outside the stool/shower. Makes it tough when Mom needs to use the hir dryer and turn on the lights above the sink and wake up everybody in the room.

The Inn had a great atmosphere, friendly staff and beautiful Irish flair. I was hoping the telephone booth was workable. It would have made for a fun photo opportunity.

The restaurant/bar has such a great vibe. Very cool, especially during Saint Patrick's day weekend. I also appreciate the hot breakfast every morning, and the gift shop. The library/study is very relaxing as well.

Good option

We have visited the area for years and finally decided to stay here. It was a good choice. We also liked being close to the pub for the Irish holiday.

We had an enjoyable time. The hotel was great! I would suggest to up date the pillows and mattresses. Our mattress was flat and hard and the pillows were flat.

Great Hotel!

This is a great place to stay while in Galena. Rooms are modern and the restaurant serves great food and drink. Cooked to order breakfast in the morning the server was very friendly. My only negative is the shuttle driver. He barked orders at us when we entered regarding being picked up. Said if we were non-compliant he leave us. We walked back rather than listen to him a second time. Walk to town would be my advice.
