We really enjoyed the whole vibe. The bar was a bit pricey, but has an amazing feel. It served us very well as a home base in our stay in Galena, and had us within short drives to all the places we wanted to visit. Potosi, Dubuque, Effegy Mounds and of course downtown Galena.

We have a beautiful room close to Galena without being on top of the crowds. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I have had on the road. Just far enough out of town not to deal with the traffic, and we were glad to hear the hotel ran a shuttle.
