This hotel is in a wonderful location and the veiws are amazing. Everyone at this resort were very polite, from the people at the desk, the maintence man, and the restaurant staff. We had a few minor issues that were easily and quickly resolved during our stay. Please note that this place does not have an elevator, and does have steps to the rooms. I would highly reccommend this hotel to others, but I would suggest taking out a few steps and putting up a ramp for better access, or even an elevator. Thank you for your hospitality during our stay!!

This is a great property. Although this stay was only for one night to celebrate our sons birthday, it offered a great location to access amenities that we love in Galena, while also offering wonderful on site activities for us to fill up our day of celebrating with. Staff was friendly, food was good, room was clean, and beds were comfy. 10/10.

Property needs to be updated. The scenery is beautiful but the hotel itself is extremely dated and run down. For the price you pay, more things should be included.
