    Unimpressive considering the amount that I was charged

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We had to change rooms because when you walked in you could feel the humidity as soon as you walked in. We asked to change the room and we got a double bed room without carpet which made it much better. Air Conditioners need to be maintained, you could smell the mildew coming from them. We did see one roach in the bathroom coming out the baseboard. I did notify the desk clerk. Its a good stay for a short time, especially if your out all day in Galena. The rooms definitely could use dehumidifiers for the amount of humidity the rooms hold, wouldn't recommend for people with asthma. Overall a good stay.

    The shower was extremely small and the room was not well-kept. We were not too happy with this experience.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Galena is a spendy spot so we chose the least expensive place we could. Good for the one night we needed.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great place to stay ,nice pool fire pit in the back and very quiet.Owner is on premises and very friendly. Don't let the dated room fool you it's very comfortable and support the family owned business.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The room was clean but very dated, the bed was horrible and my husband and I did not get a good nights sleep. They provided coffee, fruit and some other items for breakfast. The location is great but it is not worth the money, the room had a damp potentially mildew smell and could be the old carpeting. I wouldn’t stay here again, only did because it was the cheapest I could find in the area for one night.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was a nice clean room with everything we needed. Mini fridge, microwave, TV, comfortable bed, blow dryer, and shower. All for a price that didn't leave you broke!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Rooms are clean, beds were comfy, staff was friendly and helpful, location is wonderful!!!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We didn’t stay for too long just a quick overnight, but the walls are pretty thin so we could hear lots of activity next-door. The bed was comfortable for a quick easy no-frills stay great place for a great price.

    Sucked

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    While the room was clean , the bathroom was not . There was hair in the bathtub drain , floor needs to be bleached and there was a take out container of old food under the bathroom sink. I immediately tossed it into garbage outside .also the swimming pool area was mainly clean but it needs to be skimmed . Staff was friendly at check in .

    Basic rooms but the family who run it were very sweet and did little things like turn on the A/C in the room before you arrive, or leave a bottle of water for you. It's a motel, so you don't expect much, any little added touch shows they care about the place, and it is clean and well-run. Would definitely stay there again. Really comfortable beds, too.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Clean and tidy and all day breakfast which was a bonus. The pool was great and we enjoyed our couple of days The I liked everything

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    It was way overpriced for a motel with well water, that was old & rundown. The location was not great either.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    It was conveniently located to Galena downtown the rooms were very clean and comfortable they could upgrade the toilet paper they use was very thin and there is no coffee maker in the room but the people that work there I assume they owned it we're super nice and very helpful

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We only stayed one night. The bed was very small and not very comfortable l. The bedspread had noticeable stains and the shower/tub had hairs in it. We did enjoy the fire pit and pool. But overall for the cost of $150 a night it was pretty nasty.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The Staff seemed friendly and the hotel was nicely cleaned I really wish the room had a coffee pot and the pop vending machine didn't want yo accept my dollar bills (had to use spare quarters)

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The beds are of poor quality, so if you have a bad lower back, your going to be in bad shape. Suggestion, bring a bed topper and your own pillow. You'll be glad you did. Outside pool is pleasant enough to dip in and sunbathe. They have white LED lights in the room, so if you're not a big fan of those (I'm not) you'll have to deal with it. I bought some soft yellow at Walmart to ease the brightness. You're less than 5 minutes from DT Galena. Gas/Convenient store is just down the road. Drugstore is west on route 20, 5 minutes away. Walmart for Everything is 5 minutes-ish.
